BeautifulMusic Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Okay, so I found out about this concert on New Year's Eve that I want to go to... my question is, what is good timing for asking a guy out to something like this? I know it's a long way off at this point, I wouldn't do it for quite awhile, but since I just found out about this show I'm thinking about what the right timing would be. Don't want to do it too early, but don't want to wait until it gets too close and he might already have NYE plans. Plus, the concert may sell out and I don't want to miss my chance to get tickets... advice?
tanbark813 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 No later than the beginning of December. I know, personally, I've already started discussing New Year's plans with friends.
bigheartkindsoul Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Mmm tricky one cause people make some big plans for New Years. Perhaps ask casually, mentioning you have a couple of tickets would he like to go with you so not too much pressure is felt by him. Oooh the concert, who?
sb129 Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 definitely buy the tickets, because if they sell out you will kick yourself. Are other friends of yours going? If so, and he declines, then you can sell the other ticket to someone else or on ebay.
Poboy Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 think you should do it now. why take the risk and wait . you'll regret if he makes some other plans. trust me , if the guy is into the band and the music , ask him. you would know and plan accordingly with buying the tickets and other things.
Author BeautifulMusic Posted November 3, 2007 Author Posted November 3, 2007 Oooh the concert, who? They're my favorite band, but they're no one you know, trust me. haha! definitely buy the tickets, because if they sell out you will kick yourself. Are other friends of yours going? If so, and he declines, then you can sell the other ticket to someone else or on ebay. I'm not sure yet if other friends of mine are going, but they may very well be! We'll see. Maybe I can buy my own ticket to assure I'll get to go... I don't *THINK* it would sell out before I asked him, but stranger things have happened. think you should do it now. why take the risk and wait . you'll regret if he makes some other plans. trust me , if the guy is into the band and the music , ask him. you would know and plan accordingly with buying the tickets and other things. I would definitely regret it if he makes other plans! It would be great to spend NYE with him. This guy only listens to one type of music, though, and this band definitely isn't that. But I still thought it would be fun because it's a NYE thing and there's a champagne toast at midnight, etc., so it would be a fun way to celebrate. Plus, they're my favorite band, so maybe he'd like to see what kind of music I like. This is a very spur-of-the-moment guy, though. He usually makes plans pretty last-minute with me- like, the afternoon of or the day before. Don't you think if I asked him out to this now, he would wonder why I'm asking him out to something that's almost 2 months away? Don't want to seem overzealous... haha! (Don't wanna be like BKHS' date buying tickets to the comedy show a year in advance! Although, at least I have been out with this guy before... HAHA)
Sean0775 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 Make sure you have a backup person to go with just in case. My ex and I were planning on going to Vegas over the summer, but we broke up about a month beforehand. Being the gentleman that I am, I paid for my half of the tickets since she couldn't get the money back on them (she paid for the tickets, I paid for the hotel room), so I was out the money with nothing to show for it. Thankfully hotel rooms are easy to cancel or I'd have been out more.
EYECANDY000 Posted November 3, 2007 Posted November 3, 2007 yes, definately purchase the tickets now and ask him out.. i swear time flys!!
Author BeautifulMusic Posted November 6, 2007 Author Posted November 6, 2007 So no one thinks that the fact that this guy has never made plans with me more than a day in advance will make me seem overzealous if I ask him out to something so far away? I mean, that's great if that's the case, but I'm not sure anyone has really responded to that aspect of my question, especially since it wasn't in the first post and I wanted to see if that changed the answer at all.

Asking him out to "something" that far in advance would make you seem overzealous but you're not asking him out to "something", you're asking him out to New Year's Eve. People generally make plans far more in advance for NYE than they would for just "something".

Asking a guy out (instead of the guy asking me out) is new territory for me, but at least I've been out with him before! Makes it easier.
woodsfield Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 i concur with others....after Thanksgiving, before the end of first week of DEC. i've had my plans made for over a month already, but it is with family.....
