smart ways to ask a guy out

In this day and age, women are allowed to ask guys out without getting stared at, so how do you achieve this
task and come out looking like you own the world?

Maybe you know a great guy who's single and would love to go on a date with him and are tired of waiting for him to ask you out. In this day and age, women are allowed to ask guys out without getting stared at, so how do you achieve this task and come out looking like you own the world?

Melanie Fitzpatrick of Binoni lists some unique ideas you can use when asking a guy out:

1.     Scavenger hunt: I have always liked the idea of a scavenger hunt. With this technique, you would leave the last clue in a note saying “I want you to go out with me” then tell him in the note where to find you. When he comes, hide behind something, then jump out behind him, cover his eyes and say “do you?”

2.     Kidnap his jacket: This one is very cute. Kidnap his jacket and leave a note in it’s place. Make the note something like this “If you ever want to see your jacket again and me, then meet me at this restaurant if you want to go on “a date with me.”

3.     Business card: On the business card, put “Will you go out with me? If interested, please contact me.” Include your email address and phone number on it.

4.     Which color: Send a big envelope filled with balloons. One red, one yellow, one green, one orange, one purple, one white and one black. Add a note saying “Will you go out with me? Send the blue balloon if the answer is no and send the red balloon if the answer is yes.” Yes, I know, there is no blue balloon.

5.     Magazine style: Find the guys favorite magazine or book that he is reading and put a piece of paper the size of the magazine or book. The paper in there should be slightly sprayed with perfume, then write a biography about you. On the bottom, in darker letters put: “I wonder if (insert his name) wants to go out with me.

6.     Date by an appointment: This one is great if the guy you like works and schedules people for appointments. Call and make an appointment under another name. Then, show up at his office with some take out. This would be great if you knew what his favorite restaurant was. Ask a guy out this way and you definitely have a date!

7.     And the winner is...: Write a letter to the guy that goes something like this “You won! You are the most eligible bachelor in town, would you be interested in going out with me?” Make sure to enclose your phone number. This is a great and unique way to ask a guy out!

8.     Do you floss?: Find a dental floss cartridge that is empty. Type or write a letter in thin lines, roll the letter on the spool so that only the beginning will be hanging out.

9.     Send an email: You could always do it the old fashioned (or is that new fashioned?) way and send an e-mail confessing your crush to him and asking him out.

10.  Ask him if he has a girlfriend: When/if he says “no,” then ask him if he wants a girlfriend. If he says sure, ask him if he has anyone in mind. It should end with you asking him out.
