Now is the Time to Ask for that Date

How many times have you almost asked that attractive looking co-commuter out on a date? There are so many times when we wish we had the courage to ask a person out and yet have stepped back wracked by anxieties. Here are some tips to help you go ahead with that dream date.

The first step is naturally to introduce yourself to the person whom you’ve been admiring silently. Ask for his/her phone number or if this seems to drastic get a common acquaintance to acquire a contact number.

Call the person at a convenient time and remind him/her that you had introduced yourself. Beat as little about the bush as you can and lightly suggest if you both could get together for coffee or do something similarly casual.

If the other person refuses politely, take the hint and hang up after a cordial good bye. On the other hand if he or she agrees, suggest a meeting point and time which will agree with both of you.

Let the meeting be casual and a brief one – half an hour or so. This will be enough to indicate if both of you would like to get to know each other better. If so, go ahead and ask for a more formal date such as a movie and a dinner.
