[ She clears her throat. ]

Uhhh.

So.

I have a question.



[ A hesitation. She's clearly nervous or stressing about something. When she gets around to her point, she rushes her question a little, embarrassed. ]

Is there, um, a right way to ask someone out?

Uh. Hi, Terry.

This is awkward.

[ttlynotsuperman.livejournal.com]

Is there a wrong way?

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I-I don't know! I'm pretty sure if there is, I'd manage it.

[bythreadalone.livejournal.com]

Punch him and then run away screaming.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

Um.

I don't know if punching him is such a good idea.

[minimization.livejournal.com]

Just be upfront. Guys like confidence.





Actually. Sometimes it scares us. Maybe you should just wait for him to do it.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I don't want to be scary. Do you really think I should wait?

[voice]

[darkprophecies.livejournal.com]

From personal experience? Such things seem to go smoother when you are up front about asking.

Remember that the opposite sex is just as nervous about these things as we are - in fact, sometimes even more so, depending on who he is.
It is better to ask directly, than to wonder what would've come of it otherwise.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I'm-- I'm just not very good at the whole, you know, "be direct" thing. I kind of have like this totally freakish habit of completely shoving my foot into my mouth when I'm trying to say something really important.

This is really important.

My first girlfriend just decided to go the route of kissing me out of nowhere. Certainly got my attention.

To be honest I've never really asked out someone I liked.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I'd probably do something terrible-- like miss his face!

How come you've never asked out anybody you liked?

[reformedrogue.livejournal.com]

The question you're really asking is if there's a wrong way to ask someone out. And sure, there are, but trust me, if you keep it simple and straightforward, there's no chance of those wrong ways happening. It doesn't have to be a big deal. Go with whatever you're most comfortable.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

It-- It just feels like a big deal. Or, you know, like a massive deal. Maybe because I'm sort of terrified out of my mind.

I-I'm not sure there is something I'm most comfortable with. Besides digging a hole for myself.

[skrullactually.livejournal.com]

This is a good sign.

[a pause]

I still think you should just kiss him, Abs.

Remind me never to ask you for relationship advice, Tedster.

voice;

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

Teddy.

[ Flustered. ]

You know, in the future, I'm supposed to have a really deadly kiss! This may not be an excellent course of action!

[grenadeball.livejournal.com]

ASK HIM OUT

JUST DO IT

FANCY SHIT JUST MAKES IT EXTRA AWKWARD

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

EVERYTHING INVOLVING ME IS EXTRA AWKWARD.

[meowminx]

Just tell it to him straight. And ignore Peter's suggestions.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I-I really like having Terry as dad and Peter as mom, but you know, sometimes you just need a woman's advice.

Thanks, Miss Selina.

Th'frag? Ain'tcha just gotta call? Or send them a message on here or somethin'.

voice;

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I-I feel like I should do it face to face.

Although, if I did it over the comms, at least I could hide under my bed if something goes wrong.

voice.

[razzledazzlee.livejournal.com]

Nope, there is no right way to do it. Nor a wrong way! You just ask someone to go out. Be confident and stuff. You're gonna be fine, Abby.

voice.

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

B-Be confident.

Okay.

Um.


How-- How do I do that?

voice;

[cantyouhearmy.livejournal.com]

You could always just go out and do stuff and then, months later, realize you've been accidentally dating for a while.

It kind of makes asking out the next time a little easier.

voice;

[ttlynotsuperman.livejournal.com]

Dude.

There's no way it works that easily.

[littleprovolone.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I know! Just keep it casual! Say "I'd really like to take you out for coffee or dinner or a movie" or whatever! Good luck!!

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

T-Thanks! I'll, uh. I'll do my best.

[myopicsage.livejournal.com]

Dunno, anytime I've ever wanted ask Sakura-chan out I just say it.

Why don't you just ask?

[tothecloud.livejournal.com]

I-I don't know! I'm scared he'll say no!
