Asking A Girl Out For A Date
September 12, 2008
Asking a girl out for a date is something I remember dreading but always wanted. The first time is always the most difficult of all but once you have taken that first step the rest is easy – or is it? Well not for many guys like me. Must admit that the first time was like nothing on earth especially when she said yes. It is all about being bold but stopping short of being outright rude. I will talk about the first time I asked a girl out and how I went about also what went through my mind before and while I asked her out – but that is all in the past and I became some what of a pro at it.
It all started with my wanting to ask this cute girl out on a first date – mine. It took three days before e I mustered up the courage enough to go and ask her outright for a date. Every night before I went to sleep I would rehearse my lines and every morning I would edit them – and need a lot more practice with the new lines. It was when I spoke to a friend about my hesitation that I realized I was preparing all wrong.
I was going at it all wrong at first. I was taking it for granted that she would not refuse a date. But in the back of my mind I was afraid that she might, then what? Well first of all I had to prepare for a rejection and gracefully too. Then I had to muster up the courage to walk up to her and ask her if I could speak to her aside from the crowd. Then prepare for a refusal and be able to smile too.
This is exactly what I did. I strolled over the next day when I thought she had a couple of minutes to spare from talking to her other friends, asked her aside and asked her if she would grace one (and possibly many more) evenings with her lovely company. I proposed a movie but offered her a choice of doing anything she might feel she wanted to do. It was all in the way I put it I realized instantly.
She never refused outright but took a rain check –that was alright with me and I told her I would be asking her again. I never had to, as she approached me and asked if she could take me up on the offer I made a few days ago. On our first date she admitted it was my style of asking her out and giving her a choice of doing what she wanted that made her think about a date with me. I guess that is the secret – treating her like a lady and gracefully accepting a refusal if indeed there was one.
