LiFsTyLe: How to Ask HER Out, Simplified!

"If I see a hot guy in a club I wouldn't chat him up, but I'd definitely make eye contact, thus giving him the go-ahead to approach me without fear of rejection. It works both ways, see"





You'd be forgiven for being insulted by the premise of this column. How patronising of me to assume that you, an accomplished and successful man of the world cannot do something as straight-forward as chat up a woman. You've probably got a degree and an espresso machine and use a Bag For Life. You're a grown up, for God's sake, you've been dating for half of your life.




That said, most of us haven't got a clue how to ask someone out, have we? Women are no exception, hence why we generally wait for you to do it. Once in a bar, high on feminism and gin and the other over email to a lady I was sure fancied me. Both attempts failed. The curt email reply -- almost a week later -- was one of those, "We should definitely hang out, as mates," responses and the bar guy pointedly looked over my shoulder at another girl as I was speaking. So, chatting up women may not be my forte, but I certainly know what works for women. There are just three steps to getting a date:


1. Make her laugh
2. Pick up on her signals
3. Ask her out


It's that simple. The signal thing is imperative and often overlooked.
