There's this guy I've been flirting with for a couple weeks at a restaurant I frequent. My friend works with him, so he's going to find out if he's single. If he is, I want to ask him out. (I don't think he will ask me out, since I'm always about with my friends who are 99% guys.)

Do I do the ol' number on the check thing? I always thought that was a little trashy. What do you think?

What's the best way to ask out this guy?

I saw on a commercial that keeping bacon in your purse works well.....




Just smile alot when he's around. If he seems receptive to it, then just ask, but have something cool in mind to ask him to go with you.

Also, if you do date, make sure that he understands that you're really into dating him, and not just collecting another male friend. That idea may be keeping him from approaching you.

Since I go there all the time and see him a lot, I'm worried of him saying 'no' with such a simple approach, because then I'd feel pretty awkward after that point. You know what I mean?

I would just start up a conversation with him and tell him I think he's pretty cool and would he like to go hang out sometime. Then if we do go out there's no "date" pressure and his actions define whether it's a date or a friendship. I've never actually been able to ask someone on a date myself...way too shy. I've done something similar a couple of times and both turned out to be dates.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe going to dinner when he's working with a few girl friends. Then I could ask him when he gets off, 'cause he could join us at a bar after work or something.

I think open and honest is always the best way.

That's a great idea. If he says "no" or makes an excuse, then it's not some awkward thing hanging in the air every time you're there.

You're golden on this, you already have the in....

He works with your friends, ask him to join you with them.

Just say you enjoy eating there and enjoy the company then ask him if you could buy him a drink one day and see where it goes from there,don't be mad if he says no and don't stop going in there friends are hard to replace sometimes.

How would I ask a server out?

I have quite a bit of experience in this:

First I open a command shell. They take orders well.

Then type in ps -ef
If she has any odd processes running, it might be infected. Back off quickly.

df will tell me if she has enough space, and how much 'baggage' she might be carrying over all.

Next, just to be sure - top - get a list of the things consuming her brain and memory the most.
Make sure things are not getting overloaded in there.

If all goes well, and I still want to go out, issue
shutdown -h 0

Remove from rack, take home, get it turned on and see if you can get back to that command shell.


Oh...wait..damn..you are talking about a human...darn darn darn darn. Never mind.

That sounds good. Maybe a little note along with the phone number also.

escalate the flirting to make it heavier and heavier and a lot more obvious. he'll either get pressured into asking you out (if he's single) or yall will just continue flirting and you won't get that awkwardness you so fear.

or just go to that joint alone sometime...but still escalate the flirting.
