Was this a date (and what to do next)?

[BadWolf]

Soooo..I think I had my first date :wub:. Maybe. My crush (we flirt a lot blah blah blah people think he likes me, but I'm not sure at ALL) asked me to hang out with him before his show (we both do theatre) and he picked the place. We ended up going to a cafe. It was just us. We really only talked, we were no where near as flirty as we are usually. It was a bit tense, but the talking was nice and we talked about tons of stuff. The flirtiest thing that happened was I asked him if his smoothie was good and he shoved it in mouth XD (it was good btw). Well then we dropped him off at his theatre and we ate at his parent's restaurant. His mom was so sweet, we talked and she ever bought me desert! Then we saw his show, and afterwards when we were hugging bye (we hugged like 7 times) he said that we need to hang out and go see a movie. What do I do?? Do I ask him to a movie? I don't want it to be awkward or anything, "Do you want to go to the movies with me?" sounds like I'm asking him out. Any advice on this would be nice :yes: Please and Thank you!!

I wouldn't ask him "Do you want to go see a movie?" Make it sound like it was his idea, text him and just ask if he was still planning on taking you to the movies. Or if you don't want it to sound like a date just tell him you had fun last time then ask him if he wants to hang out again soon, and then he will probably ask you out to the movies or wherever.

Good luck! :)

Who cares if it sound like you're asking him out? That is what you want. Why go through so much trouble to hide your true intentions? Most (if not all) of the men I know actually can't stand the stupid careful-word-choice, double-meaning bullshit. The direct approach not only saves time and stress, but some people find it especially attractive.

That certainly sounds like a date to me. Congratulations on your first date :).

If you outright refuse to ask him, perhaps consider sending a text along the lines of, "Did you hear about _______ movie? It sounds so good!"

[BadWolf]

Thanks so much for replying!(: Well, he's been mentioning how much he wants to see the new Harry Potter (I went opening night. He texted that he hated me because of it(; ) If I go for the direct approach I could just say "Hey do you wanna see HP with me? I want to see it again!". Or if I go the indirect route I could say...um..I don't know what I could say. Again, thanks so much for replying!!

[Sage]

Be direct. Always be direct.

Perhaps, "OMGMGMG the last HP was amazing, I sooo want to see it again".

Saying things without saying them is the best way to hint drop.

[Sage]

Dropping hints are stressful. If you make it clear what you want, you're more likely to get it.

[Tango]

You can just give him hints of wanting to go, "Harry Potter was really good! I want to go see it again." Simple stuff like that, I'm sure he will catch on that you want to go with him ;)

[BadWolf]

Yeah ok(: I can start dropping hints, but then if that doesn't work I'll just ask him flat out. Thank ya'll!! I really have no experience with this

[dmeek7]

a way to bring it up would be "hey, what bout that movie you said we should go see? lets make that happen! I really wanna see HP again and you said you wanted to see it. Lets set something up". A guy would love that. Even if you were just friends to him, he would really be attracted to a girl who asks him to go to a movie with him.

I hate to say it, but guys are morons. You have to be either very obvious with the hints (literally say what you want) or just go all out and ask. It's the 21st century, a woman has just as much right to ask someone on a date as a man does! And congrats on the first one, it WAS a date! I hope y'all work out!

[Sage]

I still insist that you shouldn't waste your time on hints. It's juvenile and doesn't do you any favors.

I agree, but like I said if you ABSOLUTELY MUST, be very obvious or it won't work

[sunnycloud78]

Congratulations on your first date

[BadWolf]

Thanks everyone so much!! I'm just going to ask him(: I'm through with hints!! I'll tell yall how it goes, I think I'll either have to ask him to go this week, or in 2 weeks after camp. Either way, we ARE seeing that movie! Thanks a lot, you all really helped my decision

haha this girl knows whats up being derect for me is accualy really atracctive but if they fource me then i shun them but dont make it seem like u have to go see it just likr u want to

[FearsomeEnder]

I dont know if its just me but i find it annoying when girls give off hints if you like a guy dont give him signs just be honest about it tell him strait up dawg

[BadWolf]

haha I guess its unanimous! I'm definitely going to ask him after camp. I'm beyond excited. If that goes well...I'm debating telling him how I feel. Cross your fingers!
