How to ask someone out?

[tunacake]

Theres a girl I really like who is always on my mind, she is one of my best friends though. But I was just wondering what is a good way to ask someone out?
I really feel like telling her how much I love her and think about her all the time but I can understand that may be deemed as creepy, especially since its creepy enough we're like best friends...
So is it a good idea to have a passionante rant or a much more casual kind of thing phrasing?

thanks :)

Ah, the one of most commonly asked questions in this forum. Well, first off, don't ever tell her you LOVE her, only like her. Love is a very, very, very strong word. It means, more than anyone on this world can fathom. Just be calm, and if you like her, say so, but in a nice, gentle manner.

try asking her out on something casual, like grabbing a snack after school. dont do the movie right of the bat. maybe invite her to go somewhere with you like the pool. assess her reaction, and if its positive try something like a movie. ease into it, dont rush. Good luck!

"Hey, wanna go out with me?"

It'll be nerve-wracking no matter what, so just get into a comfortable setting. Kinda get into the subject (like...talk about anime couples or something), hint that you like them, ask them out over some time then. You know. Don't be very needy or too strong. Do be confident though, even if you aren't, try to sound like you are.

ok i can share ur grief. whatever u do DON'T go out and go "i love u, i love u, i love u!!!". ur right it might be a litte creepy. just get to know her and listen to ur friends who know her too because they might tell u things she wont tell u and told ur friends okay? and if ur to afraid to ask her urself, have a well trusted friend ask 4 u. u want her to say yes so 2 ways u can ask her is upfront OR u can ask in a note. if u write a note try to put something like "do you like me yes Or no" or "do u want to go out with me, yes or no". and if she saz no then just try to stay friends. if not and she avoids u, she was not worth it there r plenty more fish in the sea and many many more oppertunitys. i know its hard to do things when u open urself to be hurt but u got 2 take that chance or u will wonder all ur life. and if ur not ready to tell her, then u can wait but someone might take her first. play it cool and safe and if u want to ask her, ask her. and remember "dont get crushed by a crush" i wish u the best of luck man. hope it turns out the way u want it to. if u need any more advise dont be afraid to ask:cool: PEACE

well man, i had the exact same thing happen to me.. it will mess with your mind pretty hard.. my advice.. take it slow.. if she is comfortable enough to talk about other guys to you then its probably not a good idea.. the way it worked for me was kinda different but this is how it went down :

I was at her house late on nite ( i often spent the night over there). we were sittin up in her bead watching some show on tv. She began to talk about some guy that i didnt and still dont care for very much. i told her " Shannon, you can do so much better then that piece of shit." she asked me who i thought she should be with, and with out hesitating i told her " Some one who actually loves you", she then asked if i was talking about myself.. i told her i was.. it was awkward for a few moments.. i just shook my head in frustration and got up and left.. i didnt talk to her for about 2 weeks.. she called me, crying, late on night.. she told me that she was tired of being treated like a piece of meat, and that she wanted to be with me.. we stayed together for about 2 years, but things just kinda fell apart..

My point is, if you do this, you could possibly loose her man.. thats really all i can say.. good luck what ever you do, and your welcome to PM me if you need to...
