10 tips or Valentine ideas to ask someone out for this special day
Asking someone out on a date is an intimidating thing at most times, but with the added pressure of Valentine’s Day around the corner, single people across the globe are wondering the same thing: how do you manage not to be alone on this, of all days in the year? Well, with these handy hints, you’ll be well on your way to finding yourself with that girl or boy you’ve been crushing on for a while at a romantic little cafe, at the movies, or enjoying a picnic outdoors.- Don’t spring it on them out of the blue. Make sure you’ve talked to them a few times just so you can get a feel for whether they like you too.
- Leaving it too late can also be a common mistake. The closer to V-day you leave it, the more desperate you look. And hey, the earlier you do it, the more time you have to plan a really good date!
- An easy and efficient way to find out if somebody might be interested in you too is to use a common friend as an intermediary. This doesn’t mean you ask the friend to ask them out though!
- Once you’ve got your basics done and you definitely know the other person is interested, it’s time to act.
- First of all, be confident. Nobody likes being asked out by a nervous, sweaty-palmed person who’s staring at their feet. If you’re the kind who is socially awkward and seriously doubt your ability to be coherent, then you always have the option of texting, IMing, emailing or writing a letter but while you might minimise your embarrassment, you’ll also put on a poor show for the person you’re trying to impress. It’s best done in person.
- Do something that you’ll be comfortable with. Dinner and a movie is a safe first date option, but you could also get creative and do something that would be more personally appealing to your shared tastes.
- Do not under any circumstances get so drunk that you do something stupid. On a first date, this is inexcusable and simply makes you seem like a pathetic loser. Not an impression you want to leave on someone!
- Just be yourself. Don’t pretend to like the same things they do, or pretend to be somebody you’re not. People are usually canny enough to see through such pretences and they only make you seem rather stupid and spineless.
- Definitely do not be racist or sexist. This is one of the most common mistakes made by people, and yet, it’s so simple to stick to neutral topics of conversation.
- Don’t push too hard for something physical. A short, sweet goodnight kiss is a good end to your first date with someone!
