So I've been wondering recently, is it awkward to ask someone you happen to come across on a date. Like my thinking is that if adults can do this then can't we?

Unfortunately every time I see an attractive guy whom I want to ask out, I don't do so because I feel it's weird to do so. I have asked someone whom I met only 2 times before on a date and the date didn't turn out well.

Was that because we were too young to appreciate these types of relationships? Or is it because it just happened to not go well between us.

So many questions:
Is it weird to ask someone you see and have not met yet on a date?
On a scale of 1-10 (1 being not at all), how weird and awkward would it be?
How would you react if you were this person?

All of your questions really depend on the individuals involved. For instance, if the two people who go on the date have common interests, it's probably going to be less awkward than a date with two people who share absolutely no common interests.

I think it would be better if you first developed a stable friendship with the other person, and then things could grow from there. Of course, having matching personalities would help, but first of all you need to know the other person well so that you could develop a relationship.

There is no reason why it shouldn't work. The only reason it doesn't happen is because we are too scared. I woud be flattered if someone I had never met asked me out. And plus on the date since you dont know a lot about each other there would be a lot to talk about

For a more likely longer and stable relationship it is better to know and be friends with them first but if you want to have some fun then go for it haha

I am going to try this sometime :P

Well, don't you hear all those stories of people which get a note slipped into idk, their bag saying "Call me 48130934" (That's not a number if anyone wanted to know) Well, it actually happens. It's a game of Chance. I've had the urge to just go up to someone I don't know and give them my number but them I'm like, "When can I get the chance to do that without them thinking I'm creepy?" and so I never do. xD Of course it's better to get to know them, but what are the chances of getting know someone which goes to a completely different school/uni/lives on the other side of town without making a move?
