Q&A for How to Ask a Girl Out

It is not appropriate to take a girl home on the first date. Less than 10% of those who have sex within the initial three dates continue dating for a year. Secondly, it is not suitable for health and safety reasons.

You can give your suggestions for the location and time of the date. Then ask your partner to choose from the options. For example, you can ask, what do you think of going to this or would you prefer this?

Make eye contact with your partner while talking. Give your partner a chance to speak about herself. Do not do the same things you do on every date. Pay attention to what this particular girl wants and act accordingly.

Absolutely! Two years difference is nothing and there is no rule that you can't date a woman who is older than you. In fact, any such assumptions are sexist and ageist, so do what your heart says is the right thing to do, not some strange folk nonsense about age differences in dating.

Make your weirdness your selling point. Help her to see that you are only different rather than odd and that this difference is desirable. There is absolutely no point changing to suit her -- if you do that, the relationship won't last.

There isn't much you can do unless you're prepared to talk directly to her parents to try to "prove" you are responsible and will respect her. The trouble is that if parents have forbidden it, they have their reasons and you will find it hard to sway them. It may be best to wait until she is allowed to date; if you really care for her, she'll still be available. In the meantime, be good friends and use social media to stay in touch and share things together.

Go on a date or two and see how it goes. If you can't stop thinking about the other girl, call it off.
