What's the best way to ask out a stranger?

As you sit (or stand) in the choir, make a note of the people sitting next to your intended. Or note which members she seems most friendly with and if you have some kind of friendship with them also, ask them to intoduce you. Allow the mutual friend to set the tone - usually non-verbal clues will let the woman know that you "wanted" to be introduced. If the mutual friend is a church deacon or other high-profile and respected member of the congregation, the better. Chit-chat with her for a few moments (keep it neutral, religious topics are perfect within this context) and then split. Make the initial meeting brief, polite and respectful. You now have the perogative to say "Hi, Susan" each Sunday when you see her again - and you may even add "So, how are you doing?" and then perhaps get a little more personal (not forward) by asking if she enjoyed today's sermon or was there anything in particular that caught her attention during the service or even her opinion of the choir (heh, heh). Most successful relationships I know of began as friendships. Be friendly. Good luck and God bless.

Just be yourself and smile. Ask about the weather. That is always a great ice breaker, Yeah I know it sounds dumb but it works!

I always recommend that you simply ask the person out, before it's to late or drives you crazy. It at least shows that you are serious. If they say no, then it is their loss. And if they say yes, then, well it can be the start of something beautiful. Asking them out via their friends is simply a cowardly way to do it. So go on, bite the bullet and ask her out!

Formulate a gameplan so that you arent that nervous. Here is goes\n1) Think of reasons why this person would want to go out with you\n2) Think about what you would like to find out about this person\n3) Think about something specific you want to do with this person (a dating activity)\n4) Then put it into a conversation and just go for it. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

First of all, find out their status before you ask them out.  Or make it part of the "ask out", "Hey, I hope you're not seeing anyone because I'd like to take you out on a date."  That will make your intentions clear.\n\nAlso make it clear that it is a date.  Some guys will ask the girl, "You wanna grab some dinner?" and it is not clear that it is a date.  The guy is trying to insulate himself against rejection. But part of the thrill is taking the chance. "Hi, I'd like to take you out for a date.  Can I pick you up on Saturday at 7:00?"  Take the chance and be clear.  The woman will repsect your clarity and confidence.  And on the date (especially the first one) do all the traditional date stuff: dress up, pick her up, hold her chair, pay for dinner.  Lean over and put your hand on hers during dinner.  How she responds will say a lot.  When you drop her off, touch her lightly on her waist while you lean in to give a gentle kiss on the lips.  Above all, make it clear that this is a romantic date.\n\nGood luck.

just be confident.... and say a simple word as "hello" or "hi".  By then you get a little attention.  Then try telling your name then ask hers...  Just go with the flow of conversation....

The best way to flirt is to not be shy, but also don't be pushy.  Be nice.  Start with something simple - "Does it look like rain?"  "That guy over there is acting pretty weird, huh?" "What kind of _____ (drink, fruit, coffee, pencil - just about anything that fits the situation) do you recommend?"  If you're natural, a little curious, and not pushy (and she's not in a bad mood), she'll be friendly back.  Don't think about trying to flirt, just think about making good conversation.  If it does look like rain, you might ask about getting out of it.  If she thinks he's weird, confess to being just a little weird yourself sometimes, just for fun.  If she recommends a latte, try it and tell her it's great.  And just let the conversation flow naturally.\n\nOnce you're okay just talking, find a way to ask her about herself.  Just about everyone (and - sorry gals - women most of all) likes to talk about themselves.  And it's a subtle form of flattery to be interested in her.  True interest in a person - her school, her likes, her friends, her job - is the trickiest way to flirt, because you're saying both "You're interesting" and "I like knowing about you."  And everyone likes to be liked.  Pretty soon you're a good friend, and if you are good at being a friend, there's much better odds you'll soon be a boyfriend.\n\nIf you're getting signs that you've overstepped your welcome, bow out gracefully "Hey, its been nice talking to you" and move on.  If you try too hard with someone who just isn't going to work out, you'll not only offend her but also chance getting a bad reputation that will get around, ruining later chances.\n\nDO NOT use a pickup line.  They're lame, and 97% of all girls (women) know they're lame, they're just a come-on, and that you're desperate.  Only desperate women will respond to them, and most desperate women are not the kind you want for a girlfriend!\n\nGood luck - try this out, then come back here and give some other guy some good advice if it works!

Just be yourself and ask them "hey do you want to go get something to eat or maybe see a movie?" Okay if she says no thanks, thats okay because hello earth has many other girls so you have time to try each one and there is bound to be someone for everybody so if it is a no keep your head up high.

Just go to them and introduce yourself.  Tell them that you know they are new and simply want to say hi.  Don't push it too faar too soon because they will think you are creepy.

Dont just go up to her and the first thing you say is "wanna go out?", its too random. Start a conversation and then start working up to it from there.

Ask questions and let them do most of the talking if you're not comfortable with your conversation skills.  You'll more then likely find some common ground with which you're comfortable by just listening to what they have to say.  People like when someone is interested in them, even if just in the little things.  \n\nThe best way to start a conversation with someone you'd like to know better - simply smile and say "hello".  If they smile and say "hello" back, you've pretty much got the "green light" to continue.  However, know when to just walk and "move on" if you don't get the response you are looking for.

-ask her when no one is around. so you wont feel embarrassed or anything if she rejects you. \n- dont ask her right after playing sports. girls dontlike guys who stink.\n- ask her politely. but dont seem desperate.\n- say something like "i bet you 100 dollars that you're going to reject me" then she cant say no.\n- just ask her. dont start goingon and on about how much you like her. unless she asks you. and if she asks you why you want to date her and not someone else. tell her "because the alternatives are unthinkable" or just whatever.\n\ni hope i helped

1. Join a gym\n2. Join a book club and invite someone out for drinks/coffee after the club\n3.  Join an athletic club, like a community softball/soccer league - again, ask someone out for pizza/beer after a game\n4.  Go to a jazz club and pretend in your mind that are meeting someone. That way you'll feel like someone you know is really coming but you can still start up conversation with someone you meet there.  \n5.  Take a class (anything that interests you, photography, science, etc) at a local college or community college. That way, you can meet folks who have similar interests as you.\n6.  Go on a singles cruise\n7. Do speed-dating\n8. Ask co-workers out for drinks after work or just to lunch\n9.  Find activity pals on yahoo.com or other websites and go meet them.\n10.  Just say "hello" - you'd be shocked at the response you get!

just do it casually. Ask for her number or ask her if she wants to go grab dinner some time and hang out.
