Yeah, you may have seen my other post or not, but w/e. I'm a Junior in Highschool, and I'm trying to get the nerve to ask this girl out in my Psychology class. I generally have no problem talking to her, but I keep telling myself," Ask her out today." Then, I chicken out, and well, here I am posting this problem.

 

Alright, so my question is: What is the best way to ask a girl out? She's real cool, I don't want to mess this up.

 

Sadly, the only pick up lines that come to mind are "Oh baby I need you so badly", "Those are some tight pants, do they have room for another." and " is it hot in here or just you?" Those images of me doing that flicker through my mind as I approach her, and usually end in awkwardness or quick slap to the face.

 

It's really starting to project poorly on my mental image of myself which subsequently might be what's bumming me out, but this is the wrong forum talk about that.

 

Edit: I am actively pursuing this goal by talking to her. I can do it somewhat comfortably, I have to physically walk over and talk to her because she sits so far away from me in that class because she says she is shy so I don't hold it against her, it is afterall a daunting task for me to walk over and talk to the opposite sex. I think I did something good? I asked to see what she was writing in this contest, and women do like it when you take interest in things they're into right?

hahaha if you really like the girl and u think shes that cool, there's no reason to use a line.. just be sincere. say that u like her and u wanna go out somewhere with her like dinner or lunch or a movie or something fun like that... just go over to her and say something like "hey, i was wondering... would u like to go to a movie with me this weekend?" or something... anything simple.... no need to go on for like 20 mins to ask a 30 second question. just be confident.

Alright, I think I will, I'll just have to work up the nerve to ask her without all these faliure scenarios floating around in my head. Ty.

Ahh the age old problem. I got bad news for ya - the nervous butterflies never go away in trying to ask someone out! :)

 

Just kidding.... but dude, you are just psyching yourself out (in your psych class no less!). Try to do something different before class to take your mind off of it and you'll be more relaxed. Then when you get in there, do your usual saunter over to her and ask her if she has any plans for such and such day/night/weekend, etc. That should open up the door to an invitation from you.

 

Good luck - and think positive!

Alright, Alright, so like is there any key day to do this? I have psych at the end of the day, it's not like I can give her the day to think it over or anything. I was thinking Thursday because Friday would probably be rude or something.

 

(Oh yeah, the reason I probably think negatively is because every girl I've asked out ended up in a steep humiliation, but maybe third times a charm?)

well, if you are thinking of asking her out on a weekend date, then do it by wed (thurs at latest) so that you'll catch her before she has other plans. but it might be better to invite her to something during the week after school as its less pressure for both of you and a good way to see if she really does like you - like for a coffee, or to a sports event, or whatever you can think of (since you've talking to her you should have some sense of what she likes). if you do that, do it early in the week - then if things go well, maybe you can make a date night for the weekend??

 

ps. dont let your past define you (or her for that matter - shes not those other girls!).... just be confident and yourself - sounds like a cheesy line but its the key
