Asking a Girl Out

This is something that everybody knows but forget to remember.

Dating, or more specifically going on dates, is to get to know each other. It is not to make out. It is not to make a boyfriend/girlfriend. If you don't know the person, you don't want to have a relationship with that person.

So when a guy asks a girl out on a date, it should mean "hey, you sound pretty cool! I would like to get to know you better." rather than "I want to marry you." Dates are no big deals! Don't make them sound so serious. Besides dating is mostly in the Mormon culture. Everywhere else it's "hey, we've been hanging out with each everyday and we like each other so we should 'date (steady)'."

Going on a date should not be a big deal. Asking a girl should not be a big deal. However, people make it a big deal because if someone gets asked out, it's like "this person wants to marry me." That might be true for some weird, crazy, desperate guys but not true for 99% of us.

Don't make it hard for guys to ask you out, ladies. Make it easy for us. Don't make a big deal out of it, please.
