Are you supposed to make conversation with a woman before you ask her out on a date?

Too much "Truth" in this thread.

Good question.

 

Not sure really, I haven't had much experience at all really having only ever asked one girl out in my lifetime but I didn't make any conversation with her prior, just went up to her and said "Hey I think you're pretty cute and I was wondering if I could get your number" then as she input her phone number into mine I asked for her name, told mine then walked off.

 

We dated for a month after.

 

So you just walked up to a stranger and asked for her number? How did you know she was available?

Yes and the conversation has to be a certain way, to me it looks like there are more ways a man can go wrong in conversation with women than a woman can go wrong with conversation with a man when it comes to attracting a mate

I caught her glancing at me a few times across the bar before I made my approach (probably because she saw me looking at her constantly) but yeah, you're not supposed to...that's the whole point of asking.

You're not supposed to do what?

Do not go up to a petite stranger at a bus stop and tell her that she'd be pretty if she lost weight...

conversation helps yes. If someone comes up to me and says ' can I have your number. I'd like to ask you out sometime" I'd feel a bit overwhelmed like " who is this guy???"

You're not supposed to know whether she is available or not... Do humans have a special ability to read minds? No. If she's not available she'll say so when you ask her for her number.

Ya women like talking more than men do it seems

This isn't supposed to be a "women have it easier" thread ... just sayin'.

if you think you're good looking enough, just go straight to asking her out on a date. If you are, she'll say yes.
