How to Get Asked Out on a Date
Asking someone out on a date takes courage, but you have complete control since you are doing the asking. If you want someone to ask you out, however, it may be a difficult game of waiting and self-control. In some cases, especially if you are a guy, waiting for the girl to ask you out goes against most traditional practices. Although it can be difficult, there are certain things you can do to improve your chances of someone asking you out.

Look your best at all times when you are around the person you like. Wear clothes that fit and complement your best features. Start exercising regularly, working on areas that need improvement, and that you know the person finds attractive. Pay close attention to your hygiene as you want to smell pleasant whenever you are near the person. Make sure not to wear too much perfume or cologne as this can repel someone. Keep yourself well-groomed, wash your hair regularly, and keep it styled.

Make yourself approachable. Keep a smile on your face at all times to show everyone you are friendly and easy-going. Be realistic with your smile; don't grin awkwardly. Use open body language, keeping your shoulders back and relaxed, your legs stretched out when sitting, and your arms hanging loosely at your sides. Make eye contact with the person of interest regularly but occasionally break eye contact so you aren't staring.

Do things to make the person in question feel good when he or she is around you. The better someone feels around you, the more time he or she is going to want to spend with you. Give gentle compliments regularly, such as "You are fun to be around," "You have pretty eyes," or "You look great in that color." Remember to always be energetic and happy; happiness, like misery, is contagious.

Let the person know you like him or her subtly through comments and gestures. Make light body contact, such as touching the person's arm when talking. Make open comments, such as "I'd love to do that sometime," or "That looks like so much fun." Open up other means of communication with the person, such as volunteering your cell phone number, Facebook or Myspace ID or email address. Slowly escalate the hints that you want to go out until the person asks you out. If that doesn't happen, you may want to take the initiative and do the asking.
