Ask a Woman on a Date | AoM Instructional

what are you doing would you like to hang out I'm going to the bar with friends thanks what but I thought going to the bar with friends was a date bill dating and hanging out are two very different things hey mr. narrator man what do you mean hanging out consists of people casually getting together in a group it could be going to a club a restaurant or just staying home and playing video games and relations between the opposite sex never rise above the level of friendship dating consists of pairing off with someone in a temporary commitment so you can get to know the person better and perhaps start a long-term relationship there is nothing wrong with hanging out but it's not a replacement for dating how come romantic relationships are one-on-one Affairs so if you'd like to someday get into a serious long-term relationship you need to start getting to know women on a one-on-one basis so stop hanging out with women and start dating them bill okay but how will I know if it's a date or not there are three P's to a real date first it's got to be paired off you need to take her out where it's just you and her but I always get nervous when I'm out by myself with a woman I never know what to say and my pets get really sweaty well The Art of Manliness has plenty of advice on how to make small talk and use a stronger antiperspirant or wear a blazer the next P is plan you've got to plan for something to do don't just invite her over and ask so what do you want to do women like it when men take charge of the planning well what would make for a good day taking her to a fancy ball uh not quite bill dates don't have to be huge expensive affairs keep it simple ask her out for lunch or coffee or go out for dinner and bowling or mini golf if she's the active type go for a hike or a bike ride don't go to the movies for a first date though you can't get to know someone by staring silently at a screen for two hours the whole point of dating is to see if she is someone you'd like to start a long-term relationship with now the final people is paid for you should spring for the date what for I thought modern Dame's like to go dutch equal rights and all that kind of thing no they don't bill you want her to be attracted to you right paying for a date is a nice gesture and tradition and it shows her you're aa hunky provider paying for a date is like presenting a slaughtered mastodon at her feet but less bloody well what do I do now just call up summon you've had your eye on and ask her out on a date I'll send her a text no email no Facebook message uh-uh yahoo instant messenger please bill myspace Oh bill gird up your loins and ask her out like a man on the phone but you know she could just as easily ask me why don't I just wait for her to ask men take the initiative bill this is your chance to show courage in the face of risk what if she rejects me not every woman you ask is going to say yes but it's not a big deal think about it you're no worse off getting rejected than you were before you asked alright here goes nothing hello hello Diane would you like to go out to dinner with me tonight yeah I'd like that you would thanks mr. narrator man you're welcome bill have fun does she have an older sister
