    After viewing the Worst attempt thread I got the bright idea to create a thread with, yeah you got it, a sound piece of advices on asking girls out, however as I'm as a coward as the SP Ai I don't have any advice.

    It's simple: Just take one of your Emissaries and drop him on the princess you're interested in.

    Just kidding. My advice is: Just do it. Life's too short.

    Be yourself. If you put on an act to get a girl eventually your act will snare you a girl that you really like in a long term relationship kind of way - as opposed to one you like in a one night of bedroom gymnastics sneak out the next morning sort of way - and then you find out that she likes the act more than she likes you and you get your heart broken. This is not to say that being yourself won't get you your heart broken, but at least when you meet that really great girl you won't have to face the fact that she doesn't like your real personality.

    Also, being yourself is easier so it makes you seem more at ease which girls like. I know very few girls who like men who seem nervous and ill at ease.

    If you act normal it seems to help.

    Also make them think some girl who is higher socially fancies you. That works...

    Never underestimate female jealousy.

    Act cocky, act funny.

    Make your interest obvious, but make it seem like it's unimportant to you. Like you have ten other chicks on standby.

    Yeah, that seems to be the important thing, act interested but not bothered at all, and mention some other girl who is prettier a lot...

    Mind games eh?

    Women tend to talk, so why not get matey with her friends first? they'll back you up if you ask nicely enough (personal experience)

    Well thats because both girls and boys discover their sexual identities as they grow older... The verbal and non-verbal communication of both sexes improve and for both sides things get easier..

    A couple of guys have it right. Act comfortable, honest, and like you almost don't care if she says no. And tell her, if she says no, that you might just ask her again sometime. Smile, say goodbye, walk away.

    My guess is that the tips in this thread should be used after or during the process of ingesting the quantities recommended in the alcoholic thread. That is my advice.
    BTW make sure you dont spill your beer on that girl you want to date

    It kinda depends on what you are looking for.

    If you want to pick up some chick from a Pub or Club, you just have to smile and flirt. Everyone tends to go to these places to score.

    If you are talking about that sweet girl you see in school who you always want to bump into in the lunch line but don't dare to approach cause she's always with her group of pretty girl friends and you are afraid that if she says no you'll look like a fool in the entire cafeteria and everyone will laugh at you...

    Ask her to a Pub or Club then.
    Are you righteous? Kind? Does your confidence lie in this? Are you loved by all? Know that I was, too. Do you imagine your suffering will be any less because you loved goodness and truth?

    look at her in the eye and sing this:

    baby, when i woke up this morning, i felt like there's a storm inside of me.

    and i think think i'm capsizing, and the waves are raising.
    it's raising, and raising.

    And baby, when that happens, i need sexual healing.
    sexual healing, and it's good for us


    Anyway, the song kinda went that way. btw, a cookie to anyone who guess right where i got it from.

    LOL some funny answers, and some good aswell for the record I'm 15.
    My intention was also that other people would get help, but I guess that they're too afraid to post, or didn't discover this thread yet, and BTW thanks for all the answers.

    Be nice. Listen to her. Don't act too confident. Try and find out what she likes.

    You can buy certain females with money... and acting the braggart works for some... driving a fast flash car can also work... but that stuff only gets you the whores who will stab you in the back if you don't buy them a Tiffany ring every Saturday.

    Life is too short for that stuff.

    Like a job interview, it never hurts to have good references.

    ugly girls look the same as good looking girls when drunk.
    only jking.

    heres my tip.
    all hot chicks have an ugly friend.
    become m8s with the ugly girl, and then move in for the hot one from the side.

    otherwise, timing is vital.
    at least i have found that.
    also get friendlier with the girl before asking her out, if you have a place where she will always be at certain times.

    like my Girlfriend plays tennis and i play tennis.
    you can guess how i picked her up.
    thanks, dessa

    Go for the one that reciprocates the interest, if she doesn't move on.

    I find that humour works, but rather than being a braggart or show off my humour is quite self deprecating. It's worked so far.

    If you can make them smile you're winning, if you can make them laugh you've won

    Not necessarily, my ex-gf said she fell in love with me the moment I emptied a glass of cola on here face. The funny thing was, she wanted to retaliate with her own coke, but I evaded and so the coke hit the wall behind me. She spent some of the rest of the party to clean it up.

    Put yourself in a situation where you are ethnically or racially speaking, the exception to the rule. It is my observation that crossing distinct ethnic or racial lines is the easiest path to success. Often you will find the women will do most of the work.

    Generally speaking anything (ethnicity, race, attitude, manner, wardrobe) that differentiates you from the local boys drastically increases your success rate.

    Ok, this one I have to ask about; why did you tip your drink over her?

    Some of the tips in here sound more like 1001 ways to get hit by a tazer.

    maybe that was the reason, beer has too much cholesterol...
