First times are always the hardest and sometimes the most painful, and it is no different when a teenage boy asks someone out on a date for the first time. People just tend to put a lot of pressure on this subject, so much so that young men get confused over what the best way is when it comes to asking a girl out. There are no hard and fast rules for this, unfortunately and most of it will need a lot of playing-by-ear. But if you know how to read the signs and if you have just the right amount of confidence then you are all set.
So you have found someone you want to ask out but you do not know the first thing about her. You have your homework set then. Try to learn something about her, what does she like to do, which group is she a part of and what interests her. Then try to move closer to her circle and subtly let on that you are indeed interested. Treat this like a temperature check or testing the waters, from being with her in a group you will know for sure if she is inclined to reciprocate your interest.
If you are able to obtain a positive response from your efforts to get close, start mapping out your first date even before asking her out. The actual asking is the easy part, making the date memorable may take some work as it will always be about making a good impression. The best tip is to keep it simple and real, think of something that you both like doing, whether it is watching a movie or bowling. The point is to get to know each other but also to have fun in the process.
Everyone loves a good plan, so when you finally do the asking make sure you are clear on what you have planned for the two of you. Check if it is something she might enjoy doing and be flexible to suit her preferences. Remember, it’s her date too.
