How to ask out a girl or man.

 

Asking a girl out on a date can be daunting.  But with a positive attitude and a little preparation, you’ll soon be willing to go or girls of your dreams.  You will need a little courage, some self-assurance, and your best set of clothes.

 

l       you’ll soon be willing to go or girls of your dreams. 여기가 좀 이상합니다만

 

Step 1              Decide beforehand where you want to take her.  If you’re lucky enough to get the date: to a fancy restraint, movie or something more original.  If possible, choose something that appears to her interests. 

 

Step 2              Look your best.  You don’t have to be Brad Pit to get a date, but it will help you if you’re well groomed.  Wear clothes you feel comfortable in.  Now it is not the time to experiment / with whole new look that may make you feel self conscious or good.

 

l       the time to experiment  이런 표현을 상당히 자주 보고 들을수 있습니다. 말그대로 ~을 실험 한다는 뜻입니다.  Well, I’m too old to begin a new set of experiment in my career.

 

Step 3              Pick your moment.  Asking a girl go for a date when she’s rushed to with other people may torpedo your chances.  Wait until just you two / and you are not likely to be interrupted. 

 

Step 4             Be yourself. A sincere gate comes across far better than a guy doing a poor invitation of James Bond.  If you wear colon, go easy on it.  You want to date her / not knock her out.

 

l       go easy on it  자주 쓰이는 표현입니다.  Honey, please go easy on the new plasma TV, it’s an expensive toy!

 

Step 5              When it’s time to make your move, begin by paying her a compliment.  She will feel good about herself and look kindly on you, but be sincere; no one likes to be patronized.  A funny comment can lighten the mood.  Just make sure it’s not her expense.  Everyone likes someone who can make them laugh.

 

Step 6             Take the plunge and ask her out. 

 

Step 7             If she says no, don’t take it personally. You are not attracted to everyone, either, right?  Plus her rejection may have nothing to do with you.

 

Step 8              If she says yes, set a date and time immediately. Now go home and get ready for your date.  And whatever you do, don’t be late. 

 

Did you know / the average single person will go on at least 100 dates in his or her lifetime?
