4 tips for how to ask a guy out
Us girls have been wondering how to ask a guy out forever. Each man is different, and first and foremost, you should try to think about what the guy you’re interested in might like. As a great starting point, check out our top tips for how to ask a guy out:
1. Let him know you’re interested
Flirting is always a great way to check the vibe before making your move. Starting off with a little flirtation means you can look out for signs he’s interested too – is he flirting back with you? If so, he’ll start to see you in a romantic light, and won’t be caught off guard when you ask him out.
2. Think about what he’d want to do
The greatest love stories often start over a shared interest. Think about his hobbies, interests, and things you have in common. If you both like art, you could suggest seeing an exhibition that you’ve heard is good. If he’s a real foodie, why not ask him along to your favourite restaurant?
3. Keep it low pressure
Asking a guy out doesn’t have to be a big deal! Building it up in your head can make it all the more nerve-wracking. For a first date, we recommend asking casually and not pinning all your hopes on one person. You’ll come across more confident (and it won’t hurt so much if they do say no), and he won’t feel the pressure, so you can focus on getting to know each other.
4. Get asking!
It’s time to make your move. It can be hard, but try your best to be confident and just go for it! The absolute worst that can happen is he says no… And if he does, he just wasn’t the guy for you. There are still plenty of interesting singles on Match who are looking to meet someone like you.
