What Would We Do Without You?

So, we have another post sent in by a reader. This is basically a tip and a story all in one.

He writes:

"When I ask a girl what she is up to later that night, she should respond "nothing". This is usually my casual way of asking if she wants to hang out. Even if she says folding clothes or something boring, I will not ask her if she wants to hang out. This is the case because I am of the opinion that a girl should be aware of the possibility that she is being asked to hang out and should give no possible reason why she couldn't. Folding clothes is an out. The only correct answer is "nothing" or something that makes it clear that there are no plans and boredom is involved and she is waiting for me to save her from it."


We agree with you, but sometimes we're oblivious. On behalf of girls everywhere, we apologize. Hopefully you can find a girl out there that will see this and that way when you ask her, she'll know that she has nothing going on.

His tip?

"If you want to be asked out, but aren't going to do it yourself, it is your responsibility to make it easy and to remove even the slightest of impediments. The clothes can fold themselves. Well, not literally. The clothes need to be folded, I think. Easily changed plans shouldn't be mentioned at all. They should be taken care of outside of the asker's knowledge. I can't tell you how many girls I never ended up hanging out with that liked me. (Easily 3, maybe 4. I made it sound like a lot, didn't I?)"

As an added tip, if you ARE interested in a guy and have something scheduled that cannot be changed, make sure to give a back up. You know, "I'm busy then, but I'm free ____". It seems easy, but just think, if you take this advice, you could end up with a nice guy (like the one who sent in the material for today's entry).
