How do I ask a boy out on a date...

[Veovis]

...while he's working at the mall? :blushing:

So there's a cute guy that I want to ask out who works at a kiosk at the mall. The problem is, it's kind of awkward to ask someone out in front of their coworkers and the other customers. How do I accomplish this feat in a discrete and graceful manner?

[ClearlyChrist]

There's A Few Things We'd Need To Know First. Do You Actually Know The Guy? That'll Make Things So Much Easier. Anyway, Guys Are Easy. I Myself Would've Prayed That A Girl Would Make A Move, But It Isn't Always Neccessary, Unless You Really Want To. You Could Always Just Let Him Know You're Interested, And He'll Eventually Come To You. Happy Hunting ;)

[Smyg]

Also, remember, if you want to attract a guy, don't write using excessive capital letters.

[Tablo]

Just have some casual conversation with him and give him your number. That way you guys can talk more and plan a date.

[Veovis]

No, I don't know him personally; I did order a milkshake from him once or twice, though. ;)

A friend of mine suggested writing my phone number on the back of the ticket that you sign when you use a credit card. Problem is, some places (like McDonald's for example) don't make you sign a ticket. Any other suggestions?

It Needn't Be So Complicated, Although That's A Good Idea. Just Ask Him Out For Something Minor, Coffee Or Something. Just Make It Evident That You Like Him, That's A BIG Problem For Us:lol:

If you want to just slip him your number then I say just have it already wrote down on a piece of paper, with your name on it, and hand it to him next time that you buy something from the kiosk while he is working. I can say that personally as a guy it is always a turn on when girls make a first move. Its nice to be approached rather than constantly have to do the chasing.

[Veovis]

BTW, just so we're clear there are no girls involved in this situation. ;)

[Art Vandelay]

BTW, just so we're clear there are no girls involved in this situation. ;)

Sorry! Just assumed, although I am sure that the point still stands. So basically your saying that his milkshake did in fact bring all the boys to the yard. On a serious note do you know if his sexual orientation is the same as yours?

[ClearlyChrist]

BTW, just so we're clear there are no girls involved in this situation. ;)

I Had No Idea :lol: Are You Aware If He's Interested In Men? It's Best To Find Out, Lest You Get Hurt.

[Veovis]

Oh yes, his loafers are light. I chanced across his profile on a dating site a while ago. I just haven't had a good opportunity to close the deal.

[ClearlyChrist]

Well There's Little Else To Say Really. Be Outgoing, Ask Him Out To Meet Somewhere, He'll Appreciate That. Who Knows Where It'll Lead? Good Luck In Your Pursuit, Comrade :)

My advice to you VEOVIS is get an UNI-CYCLE and BULLHORN. FIRE CRACKERS,
STROBE LIGHTS, might get you noticed. A Yankee girl with a lassoo........yeeha!! Don't so much as "Stand by your man!" at this stage of the game, as "Sit on him!"

Remember bunny boilers aren't nice!!(Not a Glen Close fan)

If the lad is anything like me when I was a lad....god help you. It's a wonder the species has not died out years ago.

As you must have gathered by now lads are very dumb in these matters......well Englishmen are. Slow on the uptake....

[Sasha]

Why don't you just leave a reply on that profile than? Just say "hi, I just stumbled across this profile funny enough Im actually a regular at your work and I have been struggling for ages to find away to ask you out. What about it?" good chance that the mere fact he has seen you in real life (which means you are not some online creep) already is a huge plus.
I would go for someone who approached me like that.

dude you ever used a dating site? those things cost money. like £10 per month. You can look and put your profile up for free but to talk to someone or leave a comment costs.

p.s. dodger is my new favourite poster. you always make me smile comrade

[Sasha]

10 buck is still cheaper than keeping to order milkshakes, makes you less fat too ;)

What about Facebook? He has one?

If not its back to "want to have coffee one of these days?"
In my experience you have to be quite blunt with barista's etc, they flirt for a living so often are quite immune to subtle flirting.

[tir1944]

Go up to him and say "Dude you gay? I could swear i saw in you in Backdoor fun 3...."
Then watch for his reaction and report back to us.

You say he works at the Mall. If the store he works at gives receipts buy something and when he hands you the receipt look at it and say, " Excuse me, theres something wrong with this receipt."
He says, "What is it?"
You: "Its missing your number".

Has worked for me over and over. Especially with waiters. :D

[Sasha]

cheezy :D

[Le Libérer]

Do not condemn that what worketh. Boys love it when a girl is silly. Its cute. Cute it good.

Thank heavens my mother warned me about girls like you.....shameless!!!!!

[OHumanista]

Finally.

Indeed, that's why I love this forum (despite the other not so pleasant stuff):D
Btw leaving your number sounds like a pretty good idea, or writing on that dating site.(since he's already there)

[Leftsolidarity]

You can always go with the tried and true "So....... ya wanna fuck?" Seen it work with my own eyes.


If you don't want to do that, maybe try facebook or talk to him and be like "You seem pretty cool, do you want to hang out sometime?"

I've seen it fail too.....I drove the person home ......and left him rubbing his balls all night....Bad move, especially after she had shown the Brown belt she was justly proud of earning....to everyone at the party. The lass got married a month or two after........I told the fellow "if she had hit you any harder, yer could have been one of the bridesmaids !"....he laughed...well kinda laughed....almost laughed or was it a grin with an audible exhale.

But hey !!! Girls might have better luck with THAT one liner.......if not I am sure if you google '.sure fire pulling lines.com....you'll have 247,000 to choose from. At least ones you can tell your grandchildren..........

[Spets]

I hope these will help you comrade.

You may fall from the sky, you may fall from a tree, but the best way to fall... is in love with me.

Do you work for UPS? I could have sworn I saw you checking out my package.

Can I have your picture so I can show Santa what I want for Christmas?

It's a good thing that I have my library card. Why? Because I am totally checking you out!!

You must be a general, cause my privates just snapped to attention! (LOL)

Are you a parking ticket? Because you've got FINE written all over you.

This was longgggggggg overdue.

So basically your saying that his milkshake did in fact bring all the boys to the yard.For this you should be banned, not only from revleft but also from the Internet, from texting, making phone calls, even from using the mails.

Yeah,I found it in somewhat poor taste...perhaps a restriction at least.

I think RED DAVE is being sarcastic. I don't think that what Spets posted was in bad taste, it was just a kind of lame pun.

Never ever say this. Guys dont want what they think everyone else has had. Its so cheap you may get a ewwww no!

[Art Vandelay]

I hope you not serious? Yes it was stupid, just like that damn song. Not sure how someone could misconstrue it to be offensive but whatevs I admit a very lame attempt at humor.:laugh:

[Red Noob]

How about you come over to my place and we can work out this class struggle thing, together. :cool:

[Die Rote Fahne]

"Hey, want to go out sometime?"

[TheGodlessUtopian]

"Hey, want to go out sometime?"

Or, if you desire creativity:

"I can has date?"

That might just scare him away...unless...no...you do NOT want that kind of guy.I'm all for fetishes but there is a line which I do not cross.

Edit: Hey...your post,and my post as a result,is less funny.

[The Douche]

I used to work in a mall, and in my experience, being asked out or given numbers or whatever by interested parties was always super uncomfortable and irritating.

I worked in a mall for upwards of three years and had people try to flirt with me or offer me numbers probably once a week (what a stud), granted, I was in a relationship for most of this time, but there was one girl who's number I accepted, and we hung out one time.

She turned out to be really awkward and I did not enjoy the date.

[Veovis]

Update: I went to the mall last night to try to ask him, but he wasn't working at the time. :(

Maybe tomorrow.

At home here in Mindanao...the girls and gay boys are indoors sowing and making a terrible din. The reason for the excitement? ,a pageant. They are modelling the costumes and if I leave the door open ...they entertain me with a fashion parade. I am expected to comment...the girls here are absolutely shameless in their fishing for compliments...I try not to disappoint them. The gay boys no less so. Just to change the tone...I revert to my Victorian persona and tell them they are showing too much thigh or a skirt is too tight neckline too revealing. The nuns at the college would be proud of me. OUTRAGEOUS! That sends them off in fits of laughter or if I tell one of the gays he (she) looks a lot prettier than any of the girls I have ever been out with. IKO an older gay male who the children and students call M'am or ATAY(OLDER SISTER)...made a dramatic entrance, back home early from her work at the beauty salon. She announces with a resigned look I have broken up with my boyfriend, Mr Dodge......pause for dramatic effect...it's finally over. The youngsters with wisdom beyond their years discretely leave the now sombre scene. I am alone with Iko, she casts a professional eye at my ragged fingernails. Grabs my hand and starts to manicure..I endeavour to carry on typing...she is in a 'long term' relationship....I bite my tongue and manage to stop myself from saying, but,but,but you broke up last week...and the week before that....in fact every week since you started/finished. She gets a hip flask out of her handbag and pours some into the cold coffee left in my mug...takes a swig herself whilst reading a text message and varnishing my nails. Evidently it was the boyfriend she stood up and looking like she might be on an important dangerous mission swept out. I called out .....what about the other hand.....she said she must fly...later....I said I can wait a week until next time. She tells me I am a great support in troubled times!! Blessed if I know why....I never get a chance to get a word in.


So I ask as a comrade...VEOVIS....PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE...sor t your love life out....there is only so much pain and angst my anglo-saxon blood can take. Revleft used to be a sanctuary for me. Oh dear the 'girls' are back chattering conspiratorially ....."Sir...Jerome, has a crush on you!!". Time for serious response I chase Jerome through the house ,ignoring his screams and protestations, across the yard...where she eluded me by climbing into the tree house and pulling up the rope ladder. She has to come down sometime...if she hadn't slipped out of her high heals....I would have caught her. One of the student nurses offers to take my blood pressure. Well Veovis I seem to be having better luck than you........wonder why that is? Make sure you have lots of female friends, hang on to them...they are like gold dust here.....for gay boys...and old fella's too....they might even fix you up with a sure fire winner......

[Solar Storm]

coming from a guy's point of view:
you shouldn't use the word DATE!
more like ask if he wants to HANG OUT or CHILL................
after that let the texting and conversations come afterward and if you two are able to click then he should be able to see that you have feelings and he may in turn start to like you.
Or
just ask him to go to a movie as long as some other people are going too.

[Ele'ill]

There's nothing wrong with asking someone if they'd like to get coffee sometime. Maybe you two won't be compatible as partners but super compatible as really close friends. Or maybe you'll be together the rest of your lives. Dating is a time to get to know someone and it literally starts with saying 'you're a pretty interesting person and I think we should go get tea.'

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

I fucking love these. I mean, they are horrible and you are going to get kicked in the balls if you try any, but they are so cheesy. <3
If the right person said the Santa one to me I'd probably go for it. I think that would be kind of cute.

This was longgggggggg overdue.

Highlight of the fucking year right here. Highlight of the fucking year.

[Veovis]

Update! Good news and bad news.

Good news: I worked up the backbone to go in and ask him in person - in front of his coworker and everything.

Bad news: He said he already has a boyfriend. :(

Last time I managed to do something like this was nearly three years ago. Maybe I'll get lucky three years from now. :blushing:

[xub3rn00dlex]

Veovis,

I've recently been having the same dilemma you were, so I let the comrades out in Pour your heart out know. I received the following advice:



I'm getting sick and tired of my fucking anxiety around women i'm attracted to. I really don't get how guys don't get anxious. I'm also tired of those fuckig jocks who think they're all fucking that ruining it for nicer guys like me.



I've also said fuck it to playing games. Now I just go "Hey, I like you. Do you like me?" Saves a fuck ton of time.


I've found, for me, the best thing to do is to not give a fuck,


Okay this is going to sound like bullshit... but It's not, I promise, lol.

Try and practice a ideology I've been perfecting over the past 5 years or so. I call it, 'Not giving a fuck'






NOW GET OUT THERE AND DON'T GIVE A FUCK!

So, I took that advice, and went ahead with this girl and took a shot. Result:




Dear revlefters,

After taking your advice, not a single fuck was given today. Success.

Thank you,

Noodles

Morale of the story: Comrades all over experience the same things you go through, it's quite natural. I'm a nice, shy guy who would love to make this girl happy - the problem being I had a tough time getting there. Now I'm loosening up with her, and I'd like to think things are going well. You should take the same advice I did. Whip your swag out and just go for it - if it don't work fuck it, move on to the next one.

[Decolonize The Left]

Good god this isn't complicated at all.

You: Walk up to the kiosk where this dude works.
This dude: Notices you because you've been there before.
You: "Hey man, I don't know if you're interested, but I'd like to hang out sometime. Maybe we could meet up for a coffee/beer/drink/whatever?"
Him: Yes or No.

Yes = "Let's exchange numbers."
No = "No problem, maybe some other time."

Easy peasy lemon squeezy (or so you hope).

- August

[Die Rote Fahne]

Not giving a fuck is a great strategy. Don't ponder it, just do it.

I didn't have a chance to realize this before I landed myself an amazing girlfriend. So, I was inexperienced with girls when we started dating, but have been together for over a year, and have a kid (no condom multiple times...I was stuuuuuupid).

However, we stuck together and haven't had trouble like you hear a lot of people having in this type of situation.

Marx forbid I have to not give a fuck in the future, but I will if I have to!

Don't ponder, just do. So, if you are in this situation again, just go for it right off the bat! I know how bad the anxiety can be, but it only gets worse with time!

[Veovis]

Highlight of the fucking year right here. Highlight of the fucking year.

Glad I could be of some help. :p

[Veovis]

Not giving a fuck is a great strategy. Don't ponder it, just do it.

Kind of paradoxical, because the whole point was to make it so that I could give him all kinds of fucks. ;)

[Kitty_Paine]

Kind of paradoxical, because the whole point was to make it so that I could give him all kinds of fucks. ;)

This ^

LOL... I totally just laughed out loud... like actually did :lol:

Kitty likes this! :laugh:

No worries, just keep in good spirits and everything will work itself out. And try asking people out more on a regular basis if possible. It'll make you more experienced with stressful situations making them less stressful in the future and boosting your confidence. So that when you do see someone you really like a lot, It won't be as bad for you. It'll be easy. Practice makes everything easier. Plus you'll probably have some fun in the process. :)

[PhoenixAsh]

Look....about pick up lines....not matter how cheezy, bad, godawful, insane or stupid they are....if you do them on a numbers game you will always find somebody to fall for them. Might take you a while to get there....but....welll....to paraphrase:

"if you use them, they will bite"


O....and Veovis....good for you you managed to get the courage to do this! Respect!

[Invader Zim]

...while he's working at the mall? :blushing:

So there's a cute guy that I want to ask out who works at a kiosk at the mall. The problem is, it's kind of awkward to ask someone out in front of their coworkers and the other customers. How do I accomplish this feat in a discrete and graceful manner?


Very simple, you make idle conversation and ask, after a little while he would like to go for a coffee when he has finished work.

Done.

Edit. Hard luck, maybe next time. But you made the right move.

[Lea Trompsky]

Yes! Practice!
Also, because I had to add to the conversation, my favorite flirty/ pickup line:
"you were in my dream last night and I just wanted to say thank you."

[Fawkes]

"Hey, speaking of milkshakes, if you were a booger, I'd pick you first"

[Fawkes]

Sucks that he said no, sorry bout that, but you know why he has a boyfriend? Cause one of them did what you did, they went up and asked the other if they wanted to hang out/go on a date/whatever. Keep it up, there's a lot of single people out there.
