You had seen him working by your side in your chemistry lab or have you been staring at this cute guy daily in subway and you want to ask him to hang out but you are shy to approach then follow these easy steps:

• You have to be at the right place at the right time if you want to ask a guy to hang out. Try to catch the guy with whom you want to hang out with be the school, basketball field, mall and movies. Don’t act like a stalker but find the perfect opportunity to talk to him. Try running into him a couple of times a week and strike up a casual conversation which will help you in understanding where you two have something in common and can you actually connect. So step number one before asking a guy to hang out make him trust and respect you.

• Hard to believe but guys are extremely afraid to approach a girl they are actually interested in. It is now the right time to take the things in you hand and walk up to him and introduce yourself. Try making small talks and be open to flirtation if he starts the game. But again right timing is important before you walk up to him as he should not be busy which won’t give you a lot of time to talk. On the flip side don’t miss an opportunity just because you are extremely nervous.

• Make the guy more comfortable by breaking the ice using small talks about the ambience or the event you both are attending. Try to establish an eye contact with the guy and try to hold this contact for slightly longer. If the guy also holds back your gaze, it shows that even he is interested and makes the task of asking him out much easier.

• Once you have developed comfort feeling you can commence flirting by gently touching him or laughing at his words. Be playful and show that you are interested in him by complementing him on his clothes and his cologne. You can then hang out with a group of friends where you will get better opportunity to interact with him and know him better by asking about his likes and dislikes. Ask non intrusive questions that will help you to find out whether he is single and ready to mingle will make it simpler for you to ask him out.

• After a group date you can find out an activity that both of you enjoy and ask him out. Remember don’t appear to be pushy or don’t rush up things and yes never let your friend invite him on your behalf as that would make him embarrassed and guys actually hate it. After your first private dates don’t let your entire group of friends know what you talked about and what all did you do, as guys like these kinds of information to remain confidential.

Wear an attractive outfit and walk with confidence strides towards a guy and ask him out on a date.
