Asking a * a date...

edited February 2002 in General Discussion
Okay, we have a proposal thread. Now I was wondering who has the most creative manner in which to ask a woman out on a date.Mine goes a little something like this:"Hey honey, wanna strap on the ol' feed bag with me at the local greasy spoon?"

    I generally ask an open-ended question that can't be answered with a "no". I give them two dates and two times after we chat for a bit and build some rapport(salesman approach). It goes a little something like this:"So, would dinner with me on Friday at 6pm or Saturday at 7pm work best for you?"

    Out here in the sticks where I grew up, the guys with the tallest pickups or the car with the loudest glasspacks always had the girls asking them out. like I said before, here you need a 4x4 PICKUP not some dang yuppie wagon just to get in the country club. The one that got me my wife of 13 years was an International scout with no top and 33" tires. I still keep a tall truck around for social events, redneck style!
    If you want my guns you will have to kill me first. I was born free and to take that from me you better be ready to fight.

    I met more gals in college at the laundermat . . . "Should I mix these?" or "Do you have any idea what cycle I should use for this?" seemed to work well. With waitresses . . . "There's a problem with this bill." 'What is it?' "It doesn't have your phone number." Worked sometimes. Almost any semi-intelligent question / comment in an art gallery. Guaranteed babe magnets: Weimeraners and babies.

    How about, " I'm very wealthy and have a couple of months before I die."Maybe pee her name in the snow?Compliment her "child bearing" hips.Tell her that she is dirty and unsaved, and that you hold the key to her salvation.
    OR
    Just say "hi" and play it by ear. Listen when she's speaking and don't think about what you'll say when she's done. Speak only when asking questions about her, and for God sakes, tell her you like the "little difference in her hair"... even if you don't see one.christian

    All you have to do is get to know her a little bit, be yourself, and find out if she has some interest in you. That takes more than one meeting. If you get her where you want on the first meeting with a dumb line, why bother? Probably means the next guy will do the same thing.

    Oh wow. I just realized that it sounds like I am asking for advice on how to ask a * a date. Talk about embarassing. I was just going for the humorous angle. Thanks to you guys that took some heart and refrained from ribbing me on this one.

    Its just our nature here to give advice, I dont think anyone thought you needed help, I didnt, just followed along with the theme, discussing our pickup/loser lines, its funny.

    I have met several fellows that believe it is all a numbers game and that line works (according to them) if you are just looking for a cheap you-know-what. I can't say I've ever tried it because I've never gone looking for it. They say you get slapped a whole bunch of times until you find a "yes".

    I always tried not to use a line, because they never seemed to work. Being myself worked much better than trying to remember which line to use. But I haven't had a date in almost twenty years... unless you count going out with the wife. Which reminds me...wonder what she's doing Saturday night.Think I will try to get up the courage to ask her out for dinner and a movie, and a little conversation...

    ALWAYS...worked for me...honest. Use them eyes, yours. Strike up a conversation always looking them in the eyes..NEVER, never loose eye contact. All the while THINKING and PROJECTING your thoughs to them...use your imagination on what to think..I think you will catch my drift! Then on the first date just act cool and casual towards the end, be a complete gentlemen above and beyond.When the date is over DONT ask them out for a second, all the while being sweeter than honey. Wont be long till they will call,"just to talk, and say hello, blah,blah". THEN ask them to go out again. At this point you should end up somewhere that er, uh,you know could happen if it could...DONT DO IT!Ask them out out again. By the third date they are so wound up, curios,driven crazy as to why you have not acted like most other men to this point...that their wondering what is WRONG with them!!!Drives them nuts to think some good looking, intellegent men does not want them! All women, and men for that matter want something it looks as if they cant have! Worked everytime....

    Most women I meet don't like guns or hunting. That's just like the bolt closing on a no-go guage in my opinion. I was doing some playing around and I posted a hilarious message on an internet personals page. I talked about my affinity for guns of all makes and calibers and that my favorite location for a date would be in a tree stand together. I got a single response within 24 hours. I fell off my seat. Then I saw the picture. I'd have to hide her from the eskimos or they'd be going after her for the blubber.

    I have never had to figure out a way to ask a girl out on a date. There was always so many girls asking me out, that the thought of me asking a girl out never crossed my mind.

    The prettier she is, the more I treat her like I'm meeting a "normal" person. Trouble is, you can't always "get to know her a little." A lot of times it's that split second or you'll probably never see this stranger again. The reason why looking them in the eye while talking works so well is that they hate it when you're looking down at everything else. They are flattered when you actually seem interested in talking to their face.I once met a girl who seemed bored by saying, "You know, they say, if you're bored you're boring." At least she knew I wasn't putting her on a pedestal. If a girl gets the feeling you don't think you deserve her, she'll assume you're right, because you know yourself better than she does. I think it's most important to be there in the moment and listen and respond. More important than being yourself is letting her be herself. It's harder than it sounds.I think I've used up my quota -- ran out of fingers and toes. I used to work out 3-4 times a week and had a little tan. Now I'm softer and shall we say less lean. Since I don't prefer overweight dates, I don't assume they do either, so I seldom ask a pretty girl out. My problem is that I got over being shy in every area EXCEPT women. I can stand and talk for an hour to a couple thousand people and it makes no difference when it's one to one male-female. My radar is broken so I can't tell if they're interested unless they give some sort of sign. Many women would rather die than give any sign. So who knows how many I've missed out on, just in the last couple of years! I've never been any good at the bars -- I'm not the Lounge Lizard with a Line type. At my age, of course, my doctor (who was in my graduating class) tells me I'm quite normal physically, that it would be abnormal to be in the shape I'd still like to be in. I'd rather be abnormal....

    We celebrated our 18th anniversary this past November. I thought it'd be cool to ask her out on a date to keep things from getting into a rut. I got turned down. I can give advice on guns and Chevys, but women? You're on your own Buckwheat.

    Mudge, I personally think Mike Meyers is hillarious, any guy who can do what he does without being self concious is more of a man than I'll ever be. I use to think he was an idiot, but.. I dont know, I guess he grew on me. I dont know about his personal life, but I like his movies.
