Do you know what can make all of that a lot easier? Using online dating. When you go to ask a girl out through online dating, you just have to type a message. You can take as long as you want to perfect that message, ask a friend for help if needed, and you arenât right in front of them on display to wait for the results.
Why Your Mindset is Everything:
The reason that asking a girl out is so hard is that it makes you vulnerable. The answer to the question is 100% out of your control. And to have success, you have to put yourself out there emotionally.
Hereâs the mindset adjustment you HAVE to make before we get into the step-by-step instructions of how to ask a girl out.
You have to realize that 90% of the time her answer is a ânoâ, it has nothing to do with you. When we ask girls out and they say yes, we can certainly take credit that itâs because weâre doing something right. And logic would then say that when they say no, itâs also because of us, right?
Wrong. Most of the time that girls say ânoâ when you ask them outâit has nothing to do with you. Here are just a few of the reasons a girl might say no to you that have nothing to do with you.
She has a bf or is already seeing someone.
She just got out of a relationship and isnât interested in dating.
She doesnât live in the city or is moving soon.
Sheâs just having a bad day.
She is super busy and doesnât have the time right now to date.
You caught her off guard and sheâs pre-conditioned to say no.
She has something else on her mind and doesnât actually process your question.
One of her friends likes you already.
ALL of these are popular reasons that a girl will say no to a date with you. And you know what? Theyâre not going to share the reason they said no with you. Theyâre just going to say no, and youâll be left to wonder why not.
Hereâs the adjustment you have to work on. You canât take a ânoâ answer personally. Stop viewing it as a rejection. Itâs nothing more than a girl saying she doesnât want to go out with you. Sheâs not saying thereâs anything wrong with you or heck, sheâs not even saying sheâs not attracted to you! All sheâs saying is that for one reason or another, she doesnât want to go out.
And you know what? The majority of the time, that reason is something that has nothing to do with you.
Once youâre able to stop taking a ânoâ personally (notice we never call it a rejection), it makes asking another girl out in the future easier.
Do you think when you say to a salesman you donât want to buy something they turn around and start thinking, âOh man, this person hates me? Whatâs wrong with me?â No! They think, âWelp, must not be the right product for them or theyâre not ready to buy,â and they move on to the next potential buyer.
Thatâs the mindset you need when it comes to asking girls out on dates.

Exactly What to Say When Asking a Girl on a Date:
Now that youâve got the right mindset, itâs time to talk about how to ask a girl out on a date. There are about a million ways that you can go about this. But what weâre going to do is keep it simple. Weâll give you the formula for the easiest way to ask a girl out (outside of online dating) and then give you some real examples you can use.
Something that leads into the topic + âwould you like to go __________ ?â
Simple? Yes. Effective? Absolutely. Letâs start with a few examples of how to ask a girl out and then break them down.
Examples of How to Ask a Girl Out:
âI feel like youâre a lot of fun to hang out with. Would you like to grab drinks or dinner sometime next week?â
âI didnât know you were into country music! You want to check out this new band Iâm going to see Friday night with me?â
âIâm really enjoying talking with you. Would you like to grab coffee sometime this weekend?â
The âsomething that leads into the topicâ can be anything that makes a natural segue into asking them out on a date. It would be weird if you were talking about something else and just cut right to the chase. âI need to get that TPS reports from you. Would you like to get drinks after work tonight?â
See how that could catch them off guard? Even if they are interested in going out with you, they might say no just because theyâre confused, off-guard, and panic. Use a natural segue to tip off whatâs about to come.
Smaller compliments â Youâre a lot of fun (right) vs. youâre the most beautiful woman on the planet (wrong)
Common interests â Draw attention to something you have in common, especially if it leads to something that you could do together around that interest
Flirty assumptions â Something like âI feel like we might get along greatâ or âI wonder if weâd have even more fun hanging out soloâ is a nice lead-in.
And then for the second part, ask them out! Donât beat around the bush or try and downplay what youâre doing. Be confident, direct, but not too forward. Yes, this is a bit of a fine line, but if you keep it simple, youâre fine.
Here are some examples of what you can do:
Ask in general â If you donât have anything in mind but just want to ask them out, say something like âWould you like to grab some coffee sometime?â
Ask in general for a specific time â Whatâs a bit better is to put a potential time that you might want to go out. Donât be too specific, but a general idea can help. âWould you like to grab a drink sometime this weekend?â Be prepared to be flexible if theyâre not available then.
Ask for a specific event â If you have a specific event in mind you want to take them to, thatâs awesome! You can say something as simple as, âHey! Iâm going to see such and such band play this Friday and have an extra ticket. Would you like to join me?â Itâs really that easy. The only drawback to this is that if theyâre busy and have to say no, it might feel awkward to ask them out again (because they might still be interested).
Tips to Increase Your Success of Landing a Date:
While the answer to how to ask a girl out on a date is simple, success is found in the details. By zeroing in on the particulars, you can set yourself up for success. It wonât change a girlâs mind who isnât interested, but it will give you better odds overall, especially with a girl who might be on the fence about it.
Confidence is key â Youâve probably heard this a million times, and thatâs because itâs great advice. If you go to ask a girl out and you look nervous and like youâre expecting a no, then youâre probably going to get one. Act the part, even if youâre nervous. Donât be cocky, but be confident, and donât put her up on a pedestal like a girl out of your league. Eye contact, shoulders back, the confident tone in your voice, smile with excitementâand youâll be just fine.
Have contingencies planned â If youâre asking her out for a specific event or time frame, be prepared for her to be busy? If she says flat-out no and sheâs not interested, just move on to the next one. But if she just says sheâs busy, be prepared to come up with a second option. And even if you donât have one, you could just say, âIs there a time coming up that works for you?â Just donât walk away if she says sheâs busy during the time or event you suggested because that might not be a no altogether.
Choose the right time â Donât ask her out publicly in front of friends, family, or coworkers. This is unfair. If itâs just the two of you talking, go for it. But if youâre having trouble naturally finding some time alone, just say something like, âHey you got a second?â and then move a little away from the group. You donât have to go to another room or anything weird like that, but just far enough away that she can feel comfortable saying yes or no without people watching.
Donât get mad if she says no â Remember how we mentioned that a girl might say no for reasons that donât involve you? Well, letâs say sheâs just having a bad day and says no, but tomorrow sheâs having a good day and rethinks her answer. That could be huge for you, as long as you didnât get mad and embarrass yourself. Also, she has the right to say yes or no, and you shouldnât get mad for someone honestly answering a question even if you donât like the answer.
Practice what youâre going to say â Thereâs no rule that says you canât practice what youâre going to say when you ask her out. Yes, be careful not to get too robotic with it, but at least practice a few times in the mirror or in the car by yourself. Be prepared for things not to go exactly to your rehearsed plan, but prior planning and practice prevents poor performance (the 6 Pâs!)

The Biggest Pro Tip:
While everything we just talked about is super important, thereâs one pro tip that can really increase your chances of actually getting to go on that first date. Too many people try to run away from the conversation (and the girl) as soon as they ask and get a yes. They make the asking the end of the conversation.
Hereâs the pro tip. Stick around chatting for a few minutes after you get your yes. Continue the conversation for at least another minute or two and then close with an âIâll text you about Friday,â or something like that. Getting asked on a date can feel awkward even if itâs something you want to do. By having a few more minutes of non-awkward conversation after you ask, you can increase your chances of her following through and going on the date!
