- Hey, Psych2Goers.
Do you have a crush you wanna ask out?
Are you pretty new
to asking someone out on a date?
Where do you begin?
Well, there are a few ways
you can approach asking your crush out.
We're gonna break down a few ways on how you can.
So here are a few tips
on how to ask your crush out.
Number one, ask them to a particular event.
One way to ease into that important question
you wanna ask your crush
is to ask them out to a particular event.
That possible awkward silence may be shortened
if you mention the event
you wanna take them to shortly before.
Let's say you have tickets to a concert.
You might ask them what kinda music they like.
Then you may bring up the specific musician
whose concert you wanna go to.
If they mention they like the musician or band,
then you can hypothetically say,
"Me too, I love them.
I was gonna go to their concert this week
and have another ticket.
Do you wanna go with me?"
Then, they'll hopefully have two reasons
to say yes to your request.
Just make sure to bring up
that it's a date later on
before the concert, so they know.
Number two, compliment them first.
Instead of approaching someone you find attractive
and immediately jumping into the,
"Will you go out with me?"
catch their eye with a smile.
You want them to know
you've been looking at them,
as long as it's not creepy.
So smile and make a good amount of eye contact.
I wouldn't aim for staring,
but let them know you're saying
a friendly hi to them with your eyes.
Then approach them with a compliment.
Let them know why you like them.
If you've been talking for a while,
mention how you appreciate
their passion for what they do,
their talent, their personality,
or something else.
Compliment their outfit
or a feature you like,
then ask them out on a date.
Good ol' Sigh may say something like,
"I really like your smile."
Then they would reply with perhaps a,
"Oh, thanks."
And Sigh would reply with,
"Would you wanna go on a date with me sometime?"
It's a simple approach.
And either they'll say yes or no.
Muster up that courage
and confidence and simply ask,
you don't wanna at not asking them at all.
Number three, get to know them better
or befriend them first.
Are you friends with your crush?
This may make it easier to ask them out,
or more difficult.
Situations vary.
But if you hardly know your crush
but often see them,
try to befriend them a bit first.
That way, they get a chance to get to know you
and perhaps see what makes you
attractive and unique.
If you're afraid of the friend zone,
simply try to get to know them
a bit first before asking.
Try to have a few moments
and conversations with them
that are more than small talk.
This way, they'll get more comfortable around you
and may find that they wanna hang around you more,
perhaps on a date.
Number four, give them hints
that you you like them first with flirting.
Have you ever felt the awkward silence
after asking someone something
they didn't expect?
Or maybe you've heard rumors about it.
Well, to avoid this,
give your crush hints that you like them
so they're not completely caught off guard.
Try a bit of flirting,
good eye contact, a few compliments.
Maybe try the classic,
look, don't look, look.
Nope, I have no idea what I'm talking about?
You simply look their way,
they look back, you give a smile
and then look away, still smiling.
This often happens naturally
but with much more panic.
Instead, embrace that flirty smile
and then look away.
You're giving them a quick hint
that you like them.
Now, time to approach them with a compliment
and then ask them out.
Number five, talk about something
you both have in common,
then mention how you wanna continue
the conversation somewhere after.
If you're still a bit fearful
of that transition into asking them out,
this method may help.
You can start up a conversation with them,
preferably a good one,
and then mention how you should both
continue the conversation after work or school,
at this nice coffee shop or diner you love.
This way, you can ease into the question
or statement a bit easier.
They'll hopefully wanna continue the conversation
and at the nice location you mentioned too.
If they say yes, give them the address and time
or tell them you'll meet them somewhere
so you can walk or drive to the place together
if they're comfortable with that.
Number six, ask them out
when they're preferably alone and in-person
so things are more comfortable
and so you're not interrupted
during your conversation.
Try asking out your crush when they're alone
or have a moment away
from their friends or coworkers.
This will give you both some privacy
and make responding
and exchanging information a lot easier.
It's also a good idea to ask them out in-person,
as it can show you care about them
and are confident in asking them out.
It will also give them a chance
to see your expression, how much you like them,
and give you a chance to see how they react.
If you can't seem to find
a moment alone with them but have their number
or follow them on social media,
a message or text works almost just as well.
And number seven, find your courage
and stay true to your initial feelings.
Asking someone out can take
a good amount of courage sometimes,
especially if you're not used to it.
But finding your courage
and making the that step
to ask your crush out can be worth it.
An important part of asking anyone out
is also to stay true to yourself
and your feelings.
Don't be afraid to smile if you feel like it
and show them that you're happy.
You're holding onto your confidence
and feelings by doing this.
You know how you feel, you like them.
And if they say no to your request
and let you know that they're not interested
in you romantically,
then respectfully accept this
and try not to take back your offer,
deny your feelings or appear as if
you don't care at all.
For a moment, in a way, you did care about them.
So you should respect their feelings
and decisions and respect how you feel as well.
You could tell them, "No problem,"
and smile at the fact that you had the courage
and confidence to ask.
Then you can try your best to move on.
As they say, there are plenty of fish in the sea
and people's lives are often filled
with many crushes.
Perhaps there's someone out there
crushing on you.
So, how will you ask your crush out?
If you don't, will you regret it?
We believe in you.
