dressing up Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 I've seen quite a few posts about "asking out" a love interest. What constitutes a real "asked out" date? Dinner and movie or drinks or coffee? Do people not ask people out just on a friendly basis? How would you differentiate, through the way you ask someone out, between asking someone out on a real date and asking someone out just because you want one more friend?
colosseum Posted April 29, 2009 Posted April 29, 2009 It all depends on how you met (met at party & got # vs. friend's friend), how your chemistry has been (flirty vs. friendly), and how you approach these meetings (romantic vs. casual). That said, one would hope that it's pretty clear from the start, and that both parties understand the motives of the other. It should be pretty clear from both. Sometimes the parties have different ideas so there might be an inevitable clarification conversation, but hopefully that doesn't happen too often. If it does, then somebody is doing something not right. I have to say that unless you're in school, I don't think the "just hanging out" prospect is that common today in society; guys seem to have their guy friends and girls seem to have their girl friends (and yes I am assuming heterosexuality as point of illustration)
