How To Ask A Woman Out On A Date

How can it be that in the year 2009, men are still asking this question? Why have fathers not told their sons how to do this? Why is dating still such a mystery? Why do men still not know how to ask a woman out on a date?

So, here are a few ideas to get you started – the information your father never told you:

1 – Clean up your act! Don’t even think about asking a girl out if you are anything other than squeaky clean. Your clothes don’t have to be new, but they better be clean and not rumpled. Brush your teeth, check your breath, shine your shoes, and last but not least, take a look at your hands! Nothing is more revolting to a woman than unkempt nails.

2 – You may meet the woman of your dreams at any time of the day – so pay attention to #1 (above) at all times. Even if you are just going to the store to pick up some bread, make sure you look decent. Your future wife may be picking up read, too.

3 – Once you feel you are date-worthy, it’s time to start thinking about asking women out. Do it gracefully, do it tenderly. Going up to a woman and saying, “Will you go out with me,” – well, that’s just creepy. Find out what she likes and try to work that into a date. If she likes movies, tell her about a movie you want to see (that you know she will like) and ask if she wants to join you. By keeping it light and casual, you are more likely to get a “yes”.

4 – Pay attention to what you see. If the woman seems irritated or angry, forget about it – for now. You want to ask her when she is in a receptive mood. Watch her body language, look at her eyes, her smile, and see how she reacts when you approach her. Body language says it all – if she moves away, so should you. If she moves in or touches you, it’s a go!

5 – Plan ahead. And, don’t just plan ahead for a positive response – plan ahead for a negative response. Make sure you are prepared for anything that might happen when you ask her. Rehearse your conversation over and over with variations along the way. Rehearse her part, rehearse your part, and when it comes time to the real conversation, you will feel relaxed.

In short, take it easy, be prepared, and don’t worry about rejection. If she rejects you, it’s her loss, right? Each rejection is more practice for the one who finally does say, “Yes!”
