Here are some examples:
“There’s a wine tasting at Rico’s next week. They have a
great selection. Wanna go?”
“Have you seen the new Batman movie? It has an awesome
Rotten Tomatoes rating. We should go!”
“There’s a new club opening this weekend. The DJ is
supposed to be amazing. You should come!”
Step #3: The Ask
Let’s dive a little further into the ask. There are a few things
you want to keep in mind before asking someone out:
Be specific. Vagueness makes people nervous. For example,
ask what they’re doing this weekend. Then say, “Would you
like to go with me to dinner at Angelo’s on Friday? After
dinner, we could catch that concert in the park.” This makes it
clear you’re asking them on a date and not a platonic hangout.
Stay safe. When in doubt, pick a safe activity that’s low
commitment for the both of you: coffee, lunch or dinner. Avoid
movies as they prevent you from getting to know each other.
