Q: Hey, I was wondering if you've been friends with somebody for a a few weeks, if there's a not so out there way to ask them out on a date. Me and this girl have hung out a few times in the last 2 weeks just doing simple but fun stuff, but its never been like a "real" date and now i dont know if she just likes me as a friend or what because we have good times together but shes not overly flirty but maybe shes scared of breaking the friend barrier too? sooooooo, i want a smooth way to see or ask her if shed like to go on a real dinner/movie date without losing our friendship if she didnt feel that way.. thanks a lot!

..and when i did is asking her whatever way on aim or fb too lame if im not trying to be all out there about it

A: You should joke about it before you take the plunge. That way you can check her reaction before you become too vulnerable. So say, “Too bad we’re such good friends; you’d make a great girlfriend.” See what she says. If it’s something encouraging, then add, “Should we try it? Like a real live date?” If she blows it off, you end it after the first line and pretend you were joking.

For the aim or fb, you won’t be able to read her reaction as well and you’ll give her time to formulate an answer but if you’re to shy for the face to face, you can try it on email.

Let me know how it goes.

Love the Madness,
DG
