b. One's companion on such an outing. Taken from http://www.thefreedictionary.com/date Basically; if you ask someone out on a date, you either have the HotS (see what I did there?) for them, or have something you want to thank them for / anything else. The first one is the most common. | ||

If you don't, then you have some options. If you want to decide the date of the date (I know, it sounds stupid) with them, then you can call them basically whenever (well, preferably not too early or late), but if you want to have the date on the same day, then call them so that they have a good amount of time to prepare. I don't know whether you want to ask a woman or man out on a date, but women often use a ton of time to prepare for dates, so you shouldn't call them 17:45 and ask if they want to meet at a restaurant at 18 sharp. Basically, decide how you want to do, and devise a strategy for the date from there on. | ||

Basically, you agree to do something with someone... and that's a date. Edit: If you're like actually interested in this person, phone can be WAY more awkward than in person (by phone i mean phone call, not texting or something). Unless you're naturally a phone person or she/he is, phone conversations can feel really weird really fast. Maybe you're a natural, but as someone posting who doesn't know what a date is, and doesn't know how to approach it.. I'm a bit worried. | ||

You can certainly call and ask about a date if your on pretty familiar level with the person. If not I suggest calling to just talk and see how it goes. If its a fun conversation then towards the end, shoot that date request in there! gl | ||

Today is the day right after the senior prom (I didn't go), and she went with someone else.. but she told me earlier that she is basically actively trying to friendzone the guy she went with. Should I still wait 1-2 days before I ask her out to dinner or something? Also, the guy she's going with told me a couple weeks ago that they're only going together because he 'can't back out' of it now and that she didn't want to go with him and would rather have gone with somebody else (I was quoted as one of the alternatives that she suggested) if she could have. i'm just an asian guy with no experience in anything except math/piano wat do? halp | ||

I guess you could, as Synwave said, call and just talk for a while. Maybe ask how the prom was? If the conversation seems like it's going well (hard to describe, but you will probably notice) then just ask her about the date near the end. | ||

And, try not to use the word "date." Dates are for kids in the 1920s; Ask her to do something interesting or grab some coffee somewhere. Teamliquid: Getting nerds social contact since 2000. | ||

Yeah that's true - the same for my regrets as well. I suppose I shouldn't be too cautious/analytical about everything.. | ||

Get in there (on the phone if you must) and get a date going duder. You will regret not asking more than asking and possibly it not working out. | ||
