Getting asked out

[Appypollylogges]

This is a question mainly for girls, but any guys have who have a great answer are welcome to speak up.

I'm single and REALLY hating it T_T
I broke up with my 1st girlfriend back in the summer, and although that was probably a good idea (for various reasons...), I really miss having someone that close to me.
I recently tried asking out this classmate of mine, but that didn't work out because she wasn't ready to do that sort of thing or something... so in total, that'd be 3 girls in high school I've asked out who rejected me.
My best friend told me that she was working on setting me up, but honestly I really doubt she'll follow through. She's a good friend and everything, but let's just say she's done this sort of thing before to no avail.

ANYWAYS....the point is, lately I've met various girls around school and what not, and I have the 1st impression of "Oh, they're cute." followed by the stupid part of my brain saying "Dude...you should ask them out", and then my higher thinking kicks in with "NO YOU SACK OF (I don't remember if you can swear on this forum...)!!! YOU DON'T KNOW THEM. THAT'S STUPID AND HORRIBLE OF YOU!!"

So my question is, girls, how do you feel about being asked out by guys you know very little? It seems so disingenuous and brutish to me to judge a girl purely on 1st impressions. I wouldn't think to ask people out like that, but

1. It seems to work for most people, and it's making me sick that I can't be like everyone else in that regard.
and 2. Anytime I've ever asked out a girl, I befriended her for awhile, and then brought up what was on my mind. Is that the right way, but I've just been unfortunate?

So yeah...basically how do you feel about getting asked out by a guy you hardly know?

Well, if I get asked out by a guy I barely know I'll usually say yes, but before we actually go out or do anything alone I'll find out stuff about him from my friends. I don't see anything wrong with asking out a girl you don't know super well because you can always get to know her, but a lot of girls will probably disagree with me about it. This is just my opinion.

Personally, I've declined (or rather, didn't respond to) every request that was from some random person who's barely spoken to me. Getting to know me, showing interest in me outside of dating but just in me as a person is what makes me even start considering you. I've never actually sought out a partner because I'm so busy. They come to me at really awkward, inopportune times. Prove to me you're worth a lower letter grade and a messy flat.

That's of course if you say "Wanna go out with me?" Ask me out for coffee and I probably won't say no, even if you're a guy. I like getting to know nice people.

Personally I'd thought the guy just wants to go out with somebody (to do like everyone else). This way to act and my idea of love don't concur because I need to fall for someone's personality :/

I definitely would not accept if it were someone I barely knew. I think you've just been unfortunate.

It all the depends on the situation. if i'm at a club and a guy approaches me and asks for date i'd say yes. If we're in school and I don't know i'd say no. I appreciate your attraction to me, but you don't know me and I want to be with a guy who cares about something other than my looks.
