So, I've been on TL for almost 3 years. I've seen my share of girl blogs go by but I've only really read some of them. Partially because I'm 14 right now. Back 3 years ago wasn't really interested and it wasn't even remotely imaginable that I'd ask someone out. But yeah, I'm here and seems like its my turn to make a post. I might as well get it ou there. Feels good to let it out 
About me. I'm Asian and really shy around people I don't know but once I get to know people I get along really quite well. Somewhat tall, decent competitive swimmer and avid dota player, no, not much sc2 anymore D:
Anyways, fast forward a bit. I'm in my first year of high school (freshman?), people starting to come together here and there and oddly enough one of my friends really has gotten himself into a relationship out of pure dum luck . Not to be beat, I feel it's time to go for it...
The girl I like is pretty... Well, pretty? Liked her since about 2 months into the school year. She's actually one of the few asian girls in my school. My. Jeremy school percentage wise is really quite mixed, my elementary and middle school were all almost 50% Asian lol. I suppose it is plus when i say shes actually a huge fan of pokemon and quite a few other pc games. No sc/dota though .
Gotten to know her, have some classes with her and see her around the school fairly often. And I feel if I wait too much longer I actually will get friendzoned. I'm not one thats too good at reading emotions but I feel, and hope I'm right that she likes me back, at least somewhat. So hell, I'm goin for it!
Thinking of like the standard going to a movie... I'm not too creative :X
But anyways,
/some random freshmans blog about finally asking a girl out for the first time.
P.S will post another blog after about how it goes... Hopefully by the end of the week!

14 y/o asian ready to make a move? power to you buddy.
if you're confident in your conversation skills (or u guys are good enough friends to talk freely), try for stuff with more interaction so u can get to know each other better. OO better yet go to a drive in theater. able to talk to her, dark at night, movie to distract? that stuff never fails
|
im curious as to why you even blogged this, however it's slightly better than the typical WHAT DO I DO GIRL OH GOD blog. Anyways until you hit 21 just go crazy with women and dont give a fuck about what they do or think, they'll be all over that swag
|
if you're a shy newb on what i assume is your first ever date don't go to the movies. it'll just be silence and then awkward post-movie silence
edit: btw, least interesting girl blog of all time so far nab. the follow up better be totally boss

I agree with this.
Have fun! Know that girls are just as freaked out by liking boys as vice versa.
Oh, and don't worry about this not being a very interesting "girl blog". When I was 14 my girl blog would have been about how I'd spent 10 months working my way into a position where I felt comfortable to say 5 words to a classmate I liked. A bona fide date is a legitimate event for a 14-year-old imo.

movies are a crap date because you don't get to actually talk and close the gap between you and your interest.
friend zone is easy to tell, because when people first meet they decide within the first fifteen seconds whether they want to get to know the other one better, and then it progresses into asking lots of questions, etc.
When I was in highschool I would get closer to a girl by introducing her into the friend circle (which may or may not be a good idea if your friends have no girlfriends of their own/or are all not girls), and eventually just asking to hang out with the two of us. Show off some hobbies to her, talk, walk to a park, etc. it's all relative to what your confident at.
good luck.

dw bro, you've got this. glhf. don't die. don't suck.

I was taught two things when asking girls out 1) don't do nothing stupid and 2) don't do nothing, Stupid!
We be rooting for ye~

Maybe for an adult yea, but at 14, a girl getting getting taken to the movies is like her fucking dream date

Agreed ^. They're 14, it's not like they are going to go out for dinner and discuss interests and future plans. A movie is perfect for kids that age because it allows them little talking room but to actaully be together and get into that comfort zone first. Worry about talking and actually discussing deeper matters later on, at that age, its not important at first. Thats my thoughts on the subject.

get her drunk
j/k movies are indeed cool at 14, maybe hang around in a mall to let her show you what she likes and you can pretend to be interested, then you win
|
freshman girls are easy. If you can make her laugh or show her you can have fun, she'll date you. This is assuming you're at least average looking.

LOL cake
dude i give u a totally legit write up once i get to work, for now i gotta finish my breakfast cereal

Best date for your age: Meet on a weekend, eat some stuff together, walk around where you won't meet too many people you know (can be quite awkward at first..?) and then do some fun stuff like watching a movie or whatever you prefer (not at home, in a cinema) and afterwards bring her home or something.
Don't just go to the cinema with her since you're not really able to talk and get to know her better (and see if she's interested in the same stuff as you), do the cinema as part of a bigger "plan" I would say.
Good luck!

Just be friends. Romantic relationships are a waste of time/energy/money at your age. You're not missing out on anything at all except getting annoyed by nonsensical relationship problems and hormones.

This is terrible advice. Trying out dating is the only way to figure out how to eventually stop making it a waste of time and energy. And dates are fun (even at 14)!
If I never went out with any girls at ages where my relationships consumed time, energy, and money, sometimes annoyed me, and exposed me to nonsensical problems and hormonal frustrations, I'd still not have been on a single date by now (at age 24).

just be warned that girls change their mind faster than you can change your pants

Alrighty cake, here I am.
Now, first, I remind you that I have your Facebook and thus can stalk you to the full extent of that allowed by Facebook. If I give you good advice and then find your status to be still single two weeks in the future, I am going to let you know how terrible you are. Haha, man, I think I'm putting too much pressure on you.
Action and EXP
First of all, I highly encourage you to take action. High school relationships are fun, largely irresponsible (which is a good thing at that age), and full of EXP. Yes, that delicious EXP. Why grind 20 hours of theoretical relationship studies at home reading internet blogs and fantasy stories when you can go on a 2 hour date and gain 2x the EXP? It doesn't matter if the date goes horrible in whatever standards you put it at, you gain experience through action and being the smartest living creatures on Earth we humans can put that experience to good use.
Friendzoned?
Believe it or not, in high school, it's easy to be friendzoned and easy to get out of friendzone. Heck, I wouldn't even call high school friendships "friendzone" in the common internet definition. Literally people are ONE confession away from getting out of friendzone or staying in it. This is from personal experience, I was good friends with this girl since grade 10 but I felt something special about her late in grade 11 and confessed in grade 12 and she said yes (but this story has a sad ending, unfortunately). ANYWAY that story is worth like 5 girl blogs in itself but we'll skip for another day and move on with this authentic OpticalShot girl blog lecture. The point is, don't worry about this mystical friendzone too much, be natural.
Competition
What you should worry about is some other guy finding her attractive and taking action before you. You understand that you're not the only pair of balls walking around smelling up that tropical splash shampoo from the girl of your dreams. Every day you delay is a free day for your potential competitors to win the game before you do. Of course, there is the chance that the girl already has her eyes set on you and will make it easy for you by rejecting all until you do. How do you do that?
Winning Before Winning
This is where experience comes to play. If you have no previous experience, well, good luck - but some guys are just born with the swag, and maybe you're one of the blessed ones. You can win her before you claim her as your girlfriend (and she claims you as her boyfriend) and pronouncing it all over the world (more like just over Facebook). This is where those "movie dates" and "lunch together" and "1-on-1 study sessions" come to play. Inevitably, you're going to spend more time with her as you get to know her. It's fine if she's with her friends, but it's much better with just you two. Spend time with her. Get comfortable, but not too comfortable. Drop "hints" if you will, but the tricky part is to keep her guessing whether you're simply a flirt or a genuine lover. It's okay to be nervous.
Keep it somewhere between "Yo what's up ma homie you ready pwn up dat fkin' math homework rite nao?" (way too comfortable) and "H-Hey, uhhh, hi, ummm, listen you know that math homework we got today, well, I was thinking, if you're free and all, and okay with it, maybe we could do it together because, uh, you know, yeah..." (way too uncomfortable). Remember that even small things and little bits of time like quickly reviewing things together for an upcoming quiz can incrementally bring you two closer together.
The Alpha Male
Perhaps you haven't heard of the term yet, maybe you're just going to Google it now. Either way, you can take this opportunity to improve yourself. Pick up some clothing style outside what-mom-grabbed-on-sale. Lose the baby fat and get in shape with a regular exercise habit. Invest in some hygiene products so you don't have your lvl4 odour aura on when she's around. Walk like a confident guy not a scared library wimp (nor a big douchebag, caution). Between guys with smarts and those without, it's simple, smarts win. Smarts doesn't necessarily mean 99% average - it means that you get reasonable marks (let's say 90%+ to be safe), can make and understand jokes, know when to bend the rules (because nerds that always play by the rules are boring), can take various genres of music, etc.
So What?
Basically, be a man and ask her out. Don't plan things too far - take things as they come, one day at a time. Be realistic - she's NOT going to be your waifu. I hope you're not one of those kids stuck in the thought of first-relationship-means-we-get-married-and-happily-ever-after (because some of my university friends, at age 22, still think like that). If your parents are all like oh no you shouldn't date a girl because you're not going to study and your marks are going to drop and you're going to do bad things like drugs and sex and not have a future, shut them up with 1) 90%+ average on your next report card 2) do a little part-time job to fund your own dates and 3) talk to them (seriously) about what professions/careers you are interested in. Best be honest with your parents instead of trying to hide it.
Of course, I only expect complete success and your next blog to be about how to buy a pack of condoms from Shopper's with a straight face. LOL GL HF TLMS BROTHER
