The Art of Dating - Secrets of asking a girl out

Hi! You are back! So you got to know your dream girl and after a week of getting to know each other, you feel that you're ready to ask her out for the first date? But you have no idea how to go about doing it? What if you say something wrong? Worry not, in today's secret, you will learn the fine art of asking a girl out.

The first golden rule you must remember is, always give the girl ample time to prepare for the date. So, if you want to meet her this coming weekend, you had better start asking her the previous Saturday. It's not nice if you ask whether she's free a day before the date. It's just not sincere.

Make her feel that she's important and you have planned the weekend specially for her. Do not say things like, "My friends are not free this coming week. You're the next best option!" Ha.

How do you ask a girl out? Do you zoom in directly, "Hey wanna meet this weekend?" Or do you beat around the bush? Well, that will depend on you. Both methods will work fine. Below are some lines you can consider using.

1) Hi, wanna meet up this Saturday?

2) I was wondering whether you are free this coming Saturday. Perhaps you want to meet up?

3) Are you free this weekend? Shall we meet?

The following are some lines you should NOT try.

1) It would be an honor if you can join me this weekend. ( Too fake )

2) I'm free this Saturday. You can join me. ( Too cocky )

3) I know I don't stand a chance but maybe, just maybe you would meet me this Saturday?

4) Do you want to accompany me this weekend? ( Sounds strange )

5) Pleaseee come out with me this weekend! ( Too desperate )

And if you are daring enough, maybe you can try...

6) I feel that you can me are meant to be together. Perhaps you want to meet this weekend and let nature take its course?

Ha. That was obviously a joke.

If you prefer beating around the bush, you can ask her out by giving yourself an excuse, like watching a movie, play or concert. Ask her whether she has watched the latest blockbuster or play. If she has not, invite her to watch with you.

1) I heard that INSERT name of movie, play or concert is great. Wanna watch it together?

If you are rich enough, try, I have an extra ticket to INSERT name of movie, play or concert. Are you free to join me?

But what if she rejects your offer to go out? Does it mean that she will never go out with you? Nope, maybe she's busy this time round. Don't despair, you can always try again next week, or the week after. But if after months of trying and she still refuses to meet you. Then perhaps you can try the sure work ask-her-out-line.

1) I will stop bothering you if you go out with me. Just once. I promise.

Guarantee to work man! Ha. :o)
