Cute ways to ask someone out
The title is one of the number one search engine terms that lead directly to Heartfulls. Actually, this search term gets pointed to this post which effectively (actually, that’s debatable) outlines some ways that a guy can surprise his girlfriend.
But this post is about convincing someone to be a girlfriend (or boyfriend) rather than surprising them in the midst of a relationship that may have become a bit too boring. So, here are some of my ideas. Add your own, if you’re so inclined.
1. Make a card.
Yes, I actually mean make it out of something like construction paper or computer paper or card stock (just, generally, something that you can hold in your hand). And don’t use e-cards unless you plan to surprise her in the middle of her Computer Science class or at some other point in her day that might be particularly dismal.
2. Bake it.
This, in itself, might be a little elaborate. And it’s also something that inevitably gets thwarted in any good chick novel, but the idea is good. Although, I think it generally happens more when someone wants to propose. Anyhow, you can modify this in a way that you could ask a person out. (I imagine it would work best if it’s around the askee’s birthday.) Bake a cake and then ice it. I’m not sure if it’s safe to bake a piece of paper into it, but I imagine it would be okay. If you don’t feel safe doing that, then you can write “Will you go steady?” or something of the sort in icing on the top of it.
3. Say it in song (For people with passable to good voices only)
If you’re so inclined to do so, record yourself singing and burn it to a CD. It doesn’t even really have to be good, you just need a mike and a voice-recording software. Love blinds all. Even the fact that you are only a passably good singer. You don’t even have to write your own song (which is the beauty of the whole thing anyway), just sing a sappy love song and say “Will you go out with me?” at the end of it.
4. Say it in song (For the tone-deaf and mike-lacking among us)
Burn a song onto a CD (we are a tech savvy generation, we know how to do this) that illustrates how, exactly, you feel about the other person. Put it somewhere where they’ll find it when you’re not around. Write a cute note that goes with it, asking them to go out with you.
In all honesty, I really have no idea how to ask someone out in a cute way. I had to ask my boyfriend out, and all he said was “yeah” in response. Moral: don’t get your hopes up.

Every time I’ve asked a girl to date me, I’ve ended up regretting it. Not so much for the relationship, but for the insanely banal and idiotic way(s?) that I’ve asked them out. The list above would have suited my needs a few years prior, although as of current, it seems to be a bit…outmoded to my current target audience.
What I imagine would be the worst case scenario is if one were to bake a cake, and hand it to the person in question, to be greeted with a, “Oh. Uh…I have to go.” Eventually ending in a somewhat concise ja nai. “But do you want to have some cake?” That would sting a bit.
As a not quite passable singer (regardless of the voice training for four years) I would probably have to make a card or a cake (or both, as to make up for flaws in one with the other). However, an alternative solution might be to write about it. A story, in my case, or a somewhat sappy poem. A short story with the main character ending up asking out the secondary main character (or vice versa…).
In any case, computer science would have definitely been spruced up with an email asking me out from anyone. Although, it would have been so much more fun to write a program about it and leave it on misty’s computer. Operation Pokeball and all that.
nya.
That’s like when they drew in one of the comic book artists of Spiderman (I actually forget what superhero comic is was) asking his girlfriend to marry him. That was very sweet.
Hehe, Operation Pokeball was doomed from the start.
In my case, I’ve always taken the likes, wishes and wants of the girl and made it into a reality. What I learnt is usually people take things for granted, unless it’s public knowledge people won’t spend on it. I’d go out of the way to get those special things.
But then this is about asking people to be yours. I don’t do that anymore. I kinda outgrew that. The best relationships are the ones where you wake up together one morning realizing that you are together. No words are a match for a bond that formed without both of you realizing it. The best ones are the ones you never declare. Because love is so much more than just words.
It’s what both of you do…and it’s always the small bits never the big that matters.
Edrei — That’s sweet. But “asking someone out” is important, too, especially if the other person expects it to happen. But what you said can work with this post, since “asking someone out” is only the initial step. Then the fun stuff happens, like growing together.
True, but you don’t need to be flashy to ask someone out and neither is asking someone out an exclusive thing right? Simplicity works best, at least that’s for me. I’m a geek. I don’t have money nor do I have a great body. I do have myself and that always seems to work.
Hehe. Just asking works, too. I just thought I’d write a post to satisfy all those people looking for this particular search string. It’s my number one, and I thought it’d be fun to flesh it out.
あぁ〜あなたはラブドクターですか？ 私にたすけておねがいします。
Hai.
Itsu desu ka?
Boku mo.
Hehe
I can’t do cute, so I vote for just asking. Like “How would you like to go for a drink/catch a movie/meet for a coffee/meet for lunch…
Ok people I think these are some pretty good ideas but they dont really work if you’ve never went out with this person before.It only works if you have been going out with this person and want to ask them out on something REALLY special or you’re asking them to go steady. So yea. Just dont do it if you’ve never gone out with them before, or you’ll freak them out and appear as an over-the-top eccentric freak.
Can I tell you sumthing? ok so as a girl, when a guy asks you out to eat or hang out, its not OFFICIAL! the best way is when they say, “I really like you and I wanna hang out sometime” Dont sound desperate…. just madly in love!
