You can say something like “Hey Trevor, how are you? I was wondering if you would like to go out with me on Saturday night?” If you are nervous about his response, go and do something else like watch a show for 30 minutes or so to calm down, and then check your phone.
If your friends have all been with their partners for a long period of time, don’t ask him to go. Being around serious couples might be a bit intense for a first date. You can also ask him out on a group outing with friends, but be sure to pay attention to him and involve him in conversation.
You might say something like “Hey Ryan, I have a spare ticket to the Drake concert next weekend. Wanna go with me?” This method will work best with those who you know already.
You might say to the bartender “Hey, what’s that guy in the blue drinking? I want to send him another on my tab. ” You can approach him by saying “Hi, how are you. I was noticing you across the bar and wondering what you were drinking. Can I buy you another one?”
You also might chat about something you both are doing or witnessing. For example, if you’re in the same class, you might ask him what he thought of the readings or the last test you had.
The more signs that you have that he likes you, the more confident you will be to ask him out.
You can also post attractive pictures on social media if he follows you.
After you have been texting for a while and the conversation is going well, you can ask him if he’d like to go out sometime.
Don’t get upset or worked up in front of him. If you feel that you might cry, go be alone in the restroom or call a friend.
