How to ask someone out, and move on from the awkward stage?

[Xandle]

I'm just wondering, first the best way to ask someone out, and also how do you get over the initial awkward start of the relationship, like where you don't know how to be around each other and you're ultra nervous... ??

Just ask straight out, like "hey wanna go see the Woman in Black on friday?" and then work from there. Movies are a great first date cause there's no awkward gap in the convo: you talk about the movie, or the actors' other roles etc.
Good luck man!

well, maybe try to be original. women like men who are very out going. well, most people do. i know that my friends always are talking about how johnny lamestick or so and so sent them a note, and they said no cuz that was lame. just be original, text each other, find out some of her likes and dislikes.

movies is a great idea, the alternative could be theatre, musical, something like that, depends on how affordable it is.

Ok, but how do you get on from that awkward stage where you don;t know how to be around each other on to the stage where you're completely comfortable in just kissing them, hugging them, and just talking to them about anything.. if you get what I mean.. what is that hurdle and how do you get over it? I'm just worried that when I get into a relationship that I'll never get past that awkward stage as I can get quite nervous quite easily...

well, it is best to start the relationship away from other people as they add to the awkwardness, forcing you to hug and kiss and stuff. it best if you take it slow and to stuff thats involves talking (eg; bowling, cinema, swiming or theame park)
