Is It Okay To Ask a Guy Out?
You will be missing on a lot of great guys if you wait for them to ask you out instead of being more proactive yourself.
There is nothing wrong with approaching and asking guys you like out on a date.
There is always a chance of getting rejected but by following the steps that we will discuss in this post you can significantly decrease that chance.
Why Would a Guy Reject A Pretty Girl?
Knowing the main reasons why guys usually reject girls might help you to decrease the chance of rejection when asking a guy out.
- He is already taken. It is always a good idea to find out if he is dating anyone before asking him out on a date.
- He doesn’t know a girl good enough to agree to go on a date with her. This is especially common among younger or shy guys. Get to know him before asking him out on a date.
- He doesn’t like her body type, personality, age, or previous relationship history. Everyone has their own preferences when it comes to dating. You can’t make every guy feel attracted to you. We will share the most common signs of attraction in this post that will help you to find out if the guy finds you attractive before asking him out.
- Some guys who have never been asked out by a girl before may reject you thinking that you are joking or pranking them.
- He is not into women.

10 Examples of How to Start a Conversation With a Guy You Like
- Hi! (If you are really shy start with a simple hi)
- Hey, how was your day?
- Hey, I am new here, my name is Kate.
- Hi, do you know if this seat is taken?
- Hey, what do you think about the history class?
- Hey, do you know if the gym is any good in here?
- Hey, do you have an extra pen/eraser by any chance?
- Hey, do you know any good places to get lunch around here?
- Hi, do you think you can give me a hand with something?

Find Out About His Interests
After the initial small talk, find out about the things he enjoys doing. While doing so be enthusiastic about it and show him that you are curious about his life.
Most guys want to be understood by women and if you can show this understanding, it will be much easier for you to build a connection.
An even better approach is to ask him if he can teach you something that he is good at. For example, if he says that he enjoys playing golf. Tell him that you never golfed before but really want to try it one day.
If he likes you and is not shy, he might invite you to play with him without you even asking.
