Expert Answer

Yes! If you're asking someone out you met online, try to have at least 5 back-and-forth exchanges before you ask them out on a date.

Expert Answer

Try to suggest a date that's related to your common interests. For example, if you find out you both enjoy hiking, you could say something like, "I'm actually going on a hike this Sunday. Do you want to go with me?”

Question

What if the other person likes pick-up lines?

Community Answer

If you know they'll like a goofy pickup line, go for it! They work well on close friends and people who have a good sense of humor.

Question

If I get a date, then what do I say?

Hannah Madden

Community Answer

If someone agrees to go out with you, say something like, "Cool! So what day works for you?" If you don't have their number already, exchange digits so you can follow up with them later and make a solid plan to go out.

Question

What does it mean if he hugs me after asking?

Hannah Madden

Community Answer

It's probably a good sign! Someone hugging you means that they're interested, especially if they've just asked you on a date.

Question

What do I do if I don't think we should have a second date but we should still be friends?

Hannah Madden

Community Answer

Explain it to them gently. You could say something like, "I had a really fun time on our date, but I didn't really feel a spark. I'd love to still hang out with you as friends, though!"
