How to Ask for a Date without Pressuring Her

Do you want to ask a girl or a woman on a date? The best thing to do is ask. Just jump right in and do. With that said, you may want to think about the approach. If you are not careful, you may unintentionally pressure her into saying yes. Of course, you want to hear yes, but you want to receive a true yes, not a pressured yes.

So, how you can ask for a date without pressuring the woman?

Flirt. Flirting is one of the best ways to test the waters. If you are a public establishment, such as a bar, sporting event, or concert, you want to see if the girl is interested in you. Do this before taking the plunge. Flirting is the way to go because you can gauge her reaction. Does she seem interested? Does she flirt back? Is she trying to get away from you?

When it comes to flirting, you have many different options. Most importantly, put a smile on your face. Flirting will fall flat without a smile. Plus, a friendly smile will make it easier for women to approach you. Also, make eye contact. Whether you approach her for a conversation or flirt from afar, try to lock eyes. If you are with a group of friends, separate yourself from the crowd. Go start a conversation with her or wait until she approaches you.

Strike up a conversation. If you do not have a fear of approaching women, skip the flirting and start with a conversation. Walk up and say you noticed her from across the room. Introduce yourself and she should do the same. When having a casual conversation with a girl you just met, start out slow. Ask if she is having fun. If listening to a band at a bar, ask what type of music she likes, and so forth. If she is interested, the conversation will take off on its own.

Once you have made contact with a woman you just met and are still interested, it is time to ask about a date. When doing so, casually work it into the conversation. Wait for the perfect opportunity. Did the conversation turn towards favorite movies or music? If so, ask her to attend a concert with you or dinner and a movie. By starting a conversation first, you lessen the nervousness and awkwardness that is often associated with asking a stranger for a date.

If you want to ask a woman on a date that you know, like someone from school or work, it may be just as hard. If you see this woman on a daily basis, you may fear rejection and what happens because of it. Don't let this stop you, but take the roundabout approach. Instead of outright asking for a date, don't use the word. Instead, mention a movie you want to see or a new restaurant you want to try. Casually ask if she would like to join you.

To keep the pressure off a woman, know that no means no. If you receive a first date rejection, gauge her reaction. Does she truly seem disappointed that she can't attend because she has other plans? If so, give her your phone number and ask her to call when she has time. On the other hand, if she got no out of her mouth in record time, move on. If you keep on asking or apply pressure, she may give in just to stop you from bugging her. Yes, you did accomplish your goal of getting a date, but you did it the wrong way.
