Five tips on how to ask a man out

If you want to take charge of your love life, you have to adjust even if it means asking a man out. Many ladies aren’t comfortable with this concept yet but, it’s picking up.

Guys have also suggested that women should be more proactive in asking them out and here is why. With all this ‘’miss independent, I don’t need a man’’ attitude going around, men have become more hesitant about approaching women.

So what are you left to do? Bite the bullet, brace for impact and ask. Whatever the response at least you got to know rather than live with regrets and what if’s for the rest of your life.

That said, here are some useful tips you can exercise when you’re ready to ask that special guy out:

Your confidence will give you a couple of points even before you say what you need to. Men appreciate a lady who is confident in who she is and that’s sexy to them.

It might seem like a good idea to get someone to ask him out for you but that’s not the way to go. Just be calm and let your confidence speak for itself.

A smile will give your strategy that extra touch. And not a plastic smile, I’m talking about a genuine smile that shows you’re interested.

If you think about it from his perspective, you would be more likely to accept a date from someone who looks more inviting as compared to someone that doesn’t show any excitement.

This is a detail that guys look for whenever they’re being approached by a lady.

It’s better if you already have a couple of date ideas in mind even before you ask him out. Of course, this works if you know this guy because you will already have a rough idea of what his interests are.

This helps a lot because it shows you’re serious about going on a date with him. It indicates that you’re ready and that you’re not just asking him for the sake of it.

Being confident and direct about what you want is nice but it’s better if you start with an ice breaker. Jumping into the question too soon can come off a bit awkward so it helps to have a lighthearted conversation before.

You can compliment him on what he’s wearing or just crack some jokes to ease the tension before you ask him out.

Most of the time, it's guys who encounter more rejection because they do the asking. But now as more ladies face their fears, they’re starting to understand what rejection feels like and that can be scary.

Rejection shouldn’t stop you from making a move though. If you overthink it, you will never ask that guy you like out and you will never find out if it might have led to a relationship.

The best thing to do is to be okay with the possibility of being given a hard ‘no’. If things don’t go how you had planned, no worries, there’s plenty of fish in the sea.
