How to Ask a Girl Out

Series Summary

Romance, some say, may not be an old concept in Western civilization. Our films are wont to add tumultuous love interests to ancient heroes like Beowulf, Achilles, Alexander, or Caesar, but many cultural theorists, textual experts, and sociologists have argued again and again that sexuality, which is the foundation for modern day romance, is a rather new creation of society, dating back merely a couple hundred years. According to many, Romantic love, or the affection two souls generate when they find kindred spirits in one another, began in the French stories of knights and chivalry. More traditional research, however, claims to find evidence of romance and intimate love in all cultures throughout history. Truly, love is a strange and enigmatic thing.

"Hi my name is Jessica Claire and I'm a dating coach for New York Dating Coach. And we are here in New York City. In this clip we are going to talk about how to ask a girl out. Now there are many ways to do this. But there are a few rules. First you have to personalize the date. You don't want to take out every girl to the same place. So when you ask have something in mind. If you know that Janie really loves dancing maybe you've looked up tango lessons and you know exactly where you are going to take her. Secondly ask casually. Don't make it too easy for her to reject you. If you say hey Janie what are you doing on Tuesday. I heard there's tango lessons down the street. It lets her know that you are interested in taking her, but gives it, gives her an easy out if she is busy on that day. Also don't get too attached to the idea. If Janie doesn't want to go ask someone else. Pick another time to ask her. Also make sure you have the date and the time prepared. Tuesday at seven. You should never just generally ask someone out because then they can easily just say, I'd rather not."
