Introduce yourself by saying hello. A friendly approach will open the option for communication on an acquaintance level. Avoid flirty banter at first. Flirting too soon may give the man an impression of desperation, so wait until you know each other a little more before using provocative innuendos or suggestions.

Learn about the man by talking to him regularly with a friendly attitude. Show interest in learning about his hobbies and beliefs, or likes and dislikes.

Offer up information about yourself as well so that he has an accurate idea of who you are and what you're about. Do not talk more about yourself than you listen about him, as it may appear that you are overly self-involved.

Explore things that you are both interested in that you can enjoy together. Note the hobbies, restaurants and activities that you both like, and focus on them during your conversations. Ask him to join you for dinner, a hike, a movie or any other activity you have in common.

Make definite plans, including the time, date and meeting place for your date if he says yes. With definite plans there will be no confusion about the fact that you are going out together.

If he says no or says he's busy the day you planned, offer your phone number. He may be interested but could really be busy or may need time to get used to the idea of dating. After all, remember that it took you a while just to get the courage to ask him out.
