Hello Psych2Go-ers! We just want to
take the time to thank you for all your kind of support. We are a team of dedicated, passionate,
and hard-working individuals, who come together every day
with one goal in mind: We want to make psychology
come alive for you. We are self-funded
and recently launched our Patreon! If you enjoy the work we do
and find it meaningful, please stick around
until the end of the video for information on
how to get more involved with us, and all the cool rewards
you can get from us. Asking someone out
can be downright scary. Your heart may be racing right now just thinking about your crush. You keep telling yourself that today will be
the day you do it, whether it's when you both
have physics class together, through a text message
during your lunch break, or a phone call
right before you head to bed. One common misconception
about our dating culture, is that the awkwardness
and sweaty palms only happen in our teenage years. But many adults can find it just as nerve-wracking,
and struggle with it. We understand how intimidating it is
to put yourself out there, and want to help you practice
being open and vulnerable. Here are 5 ways
to ask someone out. 1. Find a common ground. Before asking someone out, It's important to find out whether you two have
something in common. Instead of making generic small talk, you can delve into topics that help you get to
know each other better. For instance, You can talk about
recent movies or books that made an impact on your life, If you know that they have
also seen or read them. You can also ask them
about what their passions, interests, hobbies and dreams are. Once you find something
that the two of you share, you can converse with them
on a deeper level, rather than having
dead-end conversations that prevent the both of you
from growing closer. 2. Pick a safe activity. Pick an activity that allows the both of you to bond
and have a good time. Going out for coffee or drinks, a walk in the park, or a museum are safe options
that aren't too overwhelming. Make sure that
the location you pick, isn't too crowded or noisy that prevents you from
hearing each other speak. This is especially important for introverts. Is your crush an introvert? Check out our video,
"5 dating tips for introverts" for more helpful information. It's commonly advised not to go to the movie theater
as a first date, because it doesn't give you
a chance to interact as much. But if the two of you decide to have ice cream
and talk about the film later, It can act as an icebreaker, and give you something to talk about. 3. It's cliche and overused,
but, be yourself. You hear this line all the time, but there's a reason why it's true. When you're in a relationship with someone, It's not about constantly
telling each other how great you are, that leaves you no room
to be yourself on your bad days. The same applies
to asking someone out. Avoid sounding like a salesperson. Instead, be authentic, and honest. Let the other person know
that you think they're interesting, and that you're willing
to learn more about them. Remember not to be pushy or forceful. After all, you can't make someone
return the same feelings. Respecting each other's space
and boundaries is important. 4. Figure out where
you want to ask them. In this day and age, we can text, email,
or call our crushes when we want to ask them out. Asking someone out in person
is also an option, but it may be used
less often nowadays, because of how intimidating it can be. Depending on how long
you have known the person, and whether or not the two of you
have exchanged phone numbers, added each other on social media, or have mutual friends, figure out which method
works best for you. Keep in mind that each platform
has its own pros and cons. For instance, Asking someone out in person doesn't give you a chance
to retype a message, but it does allow you
to see their reaction, and their answer will be immediate, rather than waiting
to hear back from a text. 5. Be brave, take the leap! Don't wait too long
to make your move, seize the day! It's scary putting
your heart on the line, but you never know
what may happen if you don't try. Constantly letting your fears and thoughts dwell up inside of you, will only allow
your walls to grow higher. It's better to take a chance, than look back
with regrets and what-ifs. There will be times
they'll be rejected, but, remember that
this only brings you closer to the person
you're meant to be with. We wish you the best of luck! Do you have trouble working up the courage

From the the thumbnail alone I already hate it.
This video is likely made for teenagers who are a little introverted and want the encouragement to ask out their crush.
I find the advice too basic and not very useful for me, but it's likely useful for some people.
It isn't really applicable if you hate yourself, everyone around you sees you with dislike or indifference, and you don't know a single woman who might be interested in you.
"To show this we're going to create a crappy list video that isn't helpful".
I don't work, I'm not in Edcuation, and my only "interest" is gaming. So yeah, the first one already is no use. Also they said to find out what passion, dreams, interests and hobbies are. Considering my only one is gaming there, I'm fucked.
This seems like an actually decent point, if a tad little obvious.
Yeah, that's the problem. Nobody is interested in a piece of shit like me.
This again, seems like a pretty obvious thing to think about.
Looks like they saved the most useless advice for last. I agree with what another user said - this video seems like it's intended for teens, and probably dumb teens.
I would be pissed if I donated money to their pateron account and this is the kind of crap they come up with.
If i were to just “be myself” then I would just going “mmm” or “oh yeah” to everything if the girl even wanted to talk.
