I saw a thread about breaking the ice and it got me thinking, what was the most creative way someone has asked you out? I'm terrible at asking girls out, so I wanted to hear some different ways than the usual ""Hey wanna get coffee sometime?"

The women usually say something to me along the lines of 'Hey there big fella' , busy this weekend?'

Well, mine is difficult to pull off since it was a situation really, but the most creative way I was asked out was when I was a junior in high school.


I was taking a Speech class and once a week we would have to give a speech about a certain topic. We were allowed to use props and power points, but could not say 'um' or 'you know' or pause for more than ten seconds and pretty much just give a really good speech. The topic was "Something or someone that has changed your life"and it had to last for about 8 minutes.


This guy who had asked me out once before, I had told him no since he was a good friend of mine and I didn't want to ruin a good thing. He used a power point and his topic was me! He talked about how nice I was and it was really funny too, he made jokes andbasically said that I was the coolest person he knew. At the end the power point the slide said "Hey liz, wanna go out sometime?" I laughed so hard that I had to say yes.

I say, "My friends and I are going to do such and such (specifyactivity,time and place). Do you want to come with me?"


Asking someone outis the easy part for me. Doing things that maximize theprobability of a "yes" responserequiredyears of study and practice.

Well, this was a second date, but...


I met a guy for dinner and we had a nice time. He called mea couple days later, made some polite conversation, and then he asked me, "So, can I pick you up, or are you still trying to figure out if I'm an ax-murderer?" He picked me up, and we dated for the next 3 years!

Were you ever able to figure it out?

He was not an axe-murderer. [at least not while I was dating him]

The most creative thing I ever did to ask a guy out? A Bible school story!! Wait for it . . .


I was a very shy 18 year old at the time. Very shy - and prone to silent blushing at a moment's notice! I had an enormous crush on the most popular guy in the entire school (how prosaic!! lol). It came time for the annual Valentine's Banquet, which was Sadie Hawkins. I decided I would ask him if he wanted to with me. Lacking the courage to even say hello to this person on an ordinaryday, I knew I did not have what it took to just walk right up and say, "Hey So and So, would you like to accompany me to the Valentine's Day banquet?" I don't think I was even capable of forming the thought in the privacy of my own head without blushing and stammering!!


Creative juices flowing, I pulled out some paper and coloured pencils and set to work. I wrote a little story and even added illustrations. The finished product went something like this (it's been a long time so I can't guarantee accuracy :P):


"Once upon a time there was this very shy girl (poorly drawn picture of along-haired blonde)who liked this boy (equally poorly drawn picture of a cute boy with brown eyes). She wanted to ask him to the Valentine's Banquet (picture of a banquet hall decorated Valentine's-style), but was too shy to do it. So, she decided to write a story instead (picture of a book). When she got to the end, she wrote: Will you go to the Valetine's Banquet with me?"


I put two boxes at the bottom of the last page: Yes or No.


Full of nervous trepidation and extreme shock at my daring self, I walked into the main building and dropped my little book/invitation into his mailbox.


Did he reply? Well, yes. He had already said yes to another girl, but he liked the book and kept it for the rest of the year.


By far my most creative attempt at asking a guy out, even if it fell flat!! lol

I really don't have any good first date stories, I did get a date with one lady I had gone out with a few times before when I saw on her Twitter that there was an upcoming concert in Austin and she tweeted about how she hoped to have money for tickets. I ended up purchasing two tickets and sent her a message asking if she wanted to go. Of course she did, we had a good time but in the end our relationship failed.
