here I thought that playing with your joystick in public was frowned upon.

I think being honest, being yourself, having a sense of humor, smiling and looking her in the eye will win her over. These traits will catch her attention and get her intrigued about you. The small-talk conversation will begin, and the opportunity will arise. I definitely think some men make it way more complicated than it needs to be to ask a woman out. If she wants to mind-fuck you and give you doubt and lower your confidence level, she probably isn't even worth that date.

Just be real. A nice smile always goes a long way.

I would recommend not talking about how you hate yourself and you might want to commit suicide, leading her to have to cheer you up, and then asking her out to dinner.

Just sayin'

Hopefully you guys find this list helpful! I polled my roommates and friends to see what some of their favorite first dates were.

(in no order)
1) picnic
2) beer-tasting at a brewery
3) dim sum
4) go play badminton / curling / random sport you both might be bad at but would be fun
5) cheap tix to a soccer game
6) free art walk on the first thurs of the month
7) go on a walk and take pictures

major things in common:

-SHARED EXPERIENCE
these allow you to have conversation, but also offer things to watch, laugh about, be adventurous with. sometimes "doing" in addition to "saying" tells you a ton about each other and offers a chance to build a shared experience.

-FUN!
You are suggesting something thoughtful and new. if you ask me out to one of these, i know im not in for an evening of "whats your favorite movie?"

-CLEAR LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
if i know the date's only over when im bored or want to go home, then thats tough to get psyched for. knowing the outline of the evening really helps. it gives the option of absolutely loving it and making a plan to continue and go get coffee (or some doing it) or schedule something more intimate for next time.

7) go on a walk and take pictures
My (ex) roommate did this on a first date with a girl. They bought two disposable cameras, spent a night walking around the city and shooting pictures of each other doing fun/crazy things, got them developed and then swapped pictures.

...then they got married, and I got kicked out of the house, and now I live with my mom again.

So... this one works.

In all seriousness, they have record of their first date in a great visual format and featured a lot of the pictures at their wedding.

Wow, how did I miss this thread? It's hilarious

What I have learned is this:

No one is less human that you, which means they have at least one of the personal hangups, lumpy bits or stresses that you do. All you have to do is assess (quickly) what your opening tactic is

Yeah, I'm that guy who comes in at the tale end of the conversation and says "Hey wait, what did you say?"

Anyway, don't ask her out for coffee. If I have to see one more guy fumbling around in speech and mannerisms while with a girl in a coffee shop...well, I will jump out the nearest window.

Well, at least it will provide her with something more interesting to do (i.e. watch me fling myself out the window).

Im surprised anyone would get worked up about asking a girl out.

Obviously confidence is key.

I just talk to them for a bit, normally become friends first to make sure there not batshit insane.

Then I ask them out, you either get rejected (Its best to kill the friendship at that time). Or they they say yes.

Unless I want to just bang a girl, I always become friends first.


For the next article you should write one on breaking up with the girl.

Its dam hard sometimes, Girl's are so dam emotional and clingy.

edit: If your having trouble finding girls get a sports car. My other car is a 84 corvette before owning that I didn't have girls coming up and talking to me I went to them. The corvette is a pussy magnet in the 6 months I had it on the road so far ive had a ton of girls talk to me but ive been in a relationship the whole time Ive had it on the road tho.. :/ and didn't want to cheat on her.

I don't know what it is about american sports car's, The sound of a small block chevy must make them horny or something.

I would comment on this.

But now is not the time.

Confidence is key. Be yourself. There is is a greater power in charge. Whatever that might be. You can win one day, and be last place the next day. No two women are the same.
And trying to play the game like before is a waste of time.
If you want to know the secret, PM me. As I've been there, done that.

Go have a great shared experience doing something fun / out there / unique that you're into. Don't have anything like that? Figure yourself out, because that's likely your problem with the ladies anyway.

First things first, be comfortable with who YOU are as a person. There was a time in my life when I was shy and didn't talk to many people because I felt that they wouldn't want to talk to me. I had no confidence in myself as a person, in my intelligence, or my looks. Then one day it hit me. I am what I am. Once I accept that, and embrace it, others will too.

So when you see my walking around with that "shit eatin grin" on my face, its not because I am cocky. Its because I am comfortable. I have accepted who I am, and I embrace every minute of it.

This has opened a whole new world to me when it comes to meeting new friends, and especially with the ladies.

i gotta say, the ladies loved Dunigan at ICOK! he was dancing and joking and generally a lot of fun.

also, you gotta give props to a man who is willing to wear tights and no pants. just sayin'.

Yeah, and if all else fails; wrestle another guy, shirtless and in a drunken stuper, on the floor of ICHQ until you break your knee or are bleeding from your chest.

Poof,
your guide is defective. I asked my wife out using your recommendations and she turned me down. I would like a refund please.

Instead, I took Greyfox's recommendation, revved my Ford V8 in the driveway, and got In like Flynn:

I kid as well, but I will second your awesomeness, graciousness, and coolness recommendations. Any woman that puts up with a military man for a decade and a half has the patience of Job, the heart of a lion, and the toughness of Chuck Norris.
