Time for a Little Fun...
In tonight's reading, Holden tries to get a date when he arrives to New York.
Your task:
Give advice to a friend on how to ask someone out on a date. Give your best (APPROPRIATE) pick-up line.
if my friend were to ask someone on a date i would tell them something like: me:alright when you meet her if she has blue eyes say your eyes are like two crystal clear lakes of blue if not then say. did it hut. when you fell from heaven. always act interested in what they have to say and be respectful of thier opinions and no matter what know that YOU ARE WRONG AND SHE IS RIGHT! good luck.
If I had to guide my friend through the process of asking someone out on a date, I would give him or her the following advice. First, I would remind them to remain calm and to act like themselves. Regardless of the individual, there will always be that feeling of fright and anxiety during the time leading up to asking someone out, and because of this, it’s important to relax. When you actually approach the person whom you want to ask out, have a normal conversation with him or her. Don’t simply walk up to them and say, “wanna go out?” and then walk away. Rather, have an everyday conversation, and gradually lead up to the ‘big question.’ One way that I would suggest starting a conversation is by dropping a corny pick up line. This will capture the attention of the desired boy or girl in a jokingly manner, making them interested in what else you have to say. Possible pick up lines that I would suggest using are: “You dropped something…my jaw,” or “ Do you know tae-Kwando? Cause your body is KICKING!” Also, make sure you listen and pay attention to what the other person has to say. One of the best ways to prove to ‘your special crush’ that you care about them is by listening and respecting their comments. Lastly, I would remind my friend that their outfit and hair looks really good, and that they’ll do great regardless of the outcome. GOOD LUCK FRIEND ☺
Asking someone out is never an easy thing to do, it is a very tricky business. However, if I was to give my friend the proper guidance I would tell them to do three things. First, I would remind them to be themselves. Second, I would assure him/her that anybody would be lucky to be with him/her. And lastly, I would tell tell them to be confident and that I wish them the best of luck.
Although I think most pickup lines are kind of cheesy, I would probably choose, "Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, because with a face like that you must be an angel." I have to admit, pick-up lines, no matter how corny, are a good way to break the ice and it will most likely make the person you like laugh.
My advice to a friend who wants to get a date would be to be herself. Also I would tell my friend, Good luck! And don't make a fool of yourself because if you do make a fool of yourself it's embarrassing and it might give that person a bad impression of you. I would also tell her to not lie and make a fake identity like Holden did. Starting or trying to start a relationship with lies is bad and might ruin a relationship.
If my friend were going to ask someone out, I would give him or her many key pieces of advice, regarding how to successfully land a date. Most importantly, I would advise my friend to approach the person, showing confidence. In approaching a prospective date, it is a major turn off to come on too strong, act exceedingly cocky and to also seem uncomfortable or awkward. Secondly, I would say that cheesy pickup lines are a total no-no because they give the wrong impression! When having a conversation with someone new, it is crucial to seem genuinely interested in what the person is saying and to also seem interesting yourself, rather than making it seem right off the bat that you’re sleazy. Engage in positive, entertaining conversation, be yourself, compliment the person and be respectful. Some good, non-cheesy/perverted pickup lines I would advise my friend to use would be “What does it feel like to be the most beautiful girl in this room?” or, “Excuse me, I think you have something in your eye. Nope, it’s just a sparkle.”
If I had to give advice to my friend who is going out on a date, I would tell the person to try to stay calm and to always act like themselves. They should always respect what their date has to say and make them feel as special as possible without going overboard. But when their first asking the person out, they should hold a conversation that they enjoy talking about and then slowly edge onto going on a date together. Obviously they would also try to look nice and not too slobbish as that can give off the wrong impression.
If my friend asked me to give them tips on asking a girl to a date I would explain to him that first impressions are a good start. When going up to her make sure that you are dressed well and nice hair. This is not the most important advice but it is a good start. Walk over with confidence, but not too much where you act conceited and obnoxious but at a level where you feel calm and confident enough to speak to her. Talk to her normally like she is one of your good friends so that there is nothing to be nervous about. The most important advice is just act like yourself so she gets to know and like the real you and not confused to think of you as someone you are not. Lying although seems like smart idea to impress her does not help in the long run. In the future of the relationship she may find out the truth and loose trust in you, also once you begin lying it is difficult to stop before you are caught up in a web of lies. Although pick up lines are cheesy they might be a good idea to joke a little to get her smiling at first. So take a deep breath walk over and talk to her. Good luck!
If my friend ask me for tips on asking a girl to a date i would tell him to be your self. Because honesty is the best policy cheesy but its what should work on most people. Because being someone who your not will not get u very far in the relationship most of the time. But i would also say dress nice smell nice and be polite. And also try to talk about topics that u are both interested in and never interrupt her when she is speaking. But just remember be your self brian goldstein
If my friend was to ask my advice on how to ask out a girl i would tell them multiple things. The most important thing is to be yourself and act the same way u always do around the person. Also, even though its not the easiest thing to do try not to get nervous and just relax. The more relax you are the easier it will be. Never forget to stay positive and be confident wit yourself. Im not the biggest fan of cheesy pick up lines but if i had to choose one it would be "I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart." Even though this might sound a little weird you never know it could work and break the ice for you. Good luck Olivia Manley
If my friend were to ask me for advice for a date i would tell them to act themselves,find a topic that you both are interested in and build conversation from there. You want to dress nice and have some confidence. Be polite and don't do anything to embarrass yourself because it will only hurt you. GO out of your way to help the other person.
Being that I am a woman myself, being respectful is always a number one priority when I evaluate a guy. I believe it works in the opposite situation as well though; I doubt any guy would chase after a disrespectful girl. I would advise my friend to “play it cool” without coming on too strongly; if one thing is a turn off it is definitely someone who is overbearing rather than confident. Secondly, I would encourage my friend to be them self in a slightly more “formal” matter. I use the word formal loosely here because that doesn’t necessarily mean you have to use big words and act fancy, it’s more of a “first impression” kind of formal. Of course if some kind of relationship developed over time a more relaxed attitude would be suitable because the two people would have become more familiar with each other. Lastly being charming yet bold always does the trick to wining someone’s heart; standing out in a positive way in a good thing! Instead of talking about typical topics, find out more about the person and make it seem like you truly care and are interested in what they do and who they are. Typical, corny pick-up lines such as, “Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again? should be avoided at all times when one is trying to ask someone out on a date. More appropriate pick-up lines are sweet yet funny and make the person you’re trying to “pick-up” laugh. The “perfect pick-up line” would go something like this, “If I told you that you are beautiful, would you hold it against me?” Lines like this one compliment a person, yet are not insulting or cheesy to the point of disgust.
If a friend of mine was trying to score a date with someone, there are a lot of ways to go about it. To be honest it would really all depend on how the other person was, their personalities and what the two shared in common. If it were sports or some sort of club, I would wait until something really excited happened and then go up to them and be like “HEY! Go out with me?” So it would just add to the excitement. If you two met in class do something really corny and slip them a note or just be sweet and ask them after class. Most people just care about how nice the person is, as well as how the person looks so don’t try to look like a slob, clean up a bit for any type of asking out. Just be chill and don’t act nervous people can sense it when you ask them about and make them really doubt if you are worth their time. Don’t try any corny pick up lines they are an instant shut down. Just be sweet tell the girl you think they are pretty, don’t hold back and be brave, more than likely she will say yes. Laura McKinsey
