I have been single for many years and I think that I've come to an age where I must begin a new life, meaning with somebody else. I like this guy Robin, and he's so cute (etc etc etc)!!! But I don't know how to ask him for a date!
Well, yeah I think that a date is too soon, because we don't know each other so good. We only talk ehm twice in a week or something, so, we're not even friends. I just want to do something fun with him, going to the movies or whatever, as long as I can learn to know him, at least!
I am just being myself, I always try to make a conversation, but there's one problem. One of my friends, Caroline is his friend (?) and well, you know. She must get out of the way, or else it will never work!
And by the way, I'm not being mean to somebody, though.
Could you PLEASE help me! Thanks!

I don't give a damn about Valentine's day. And most of you are right, I'm too scared doing it!

Going to the movies is an OK date, as it is safe in that it is a good way to ignore someone for about 2 hours.
Aside from that, if he's involved, going out with him might be little sticky unless he might be open to it. Tread lightly here--it can get dicey. In addition, he has to know that you exist and that you are far better looking than Caroline. Think of a place that you really want to go to or something that you would really like to see. Mention it to him and see if he is receptive.

Why do you need to get Caroline out of the way? If he is dating her, then it's pretty bad to try and steal him away, especially if she is your friend. And if you antagonize her to 'get her out of the way' how is he going to feel? It may mean you've blown your chance with him - and you don't even know if their dating!
Just ask him casually. Say "Hey, there's this great new movie coming to the theatre that I really want to see. You want to come with me?" Or ask him to go bowling - since it's more fun with a partner. Chose an activity were he doesn't feel pressured to either date you or walk away - friendship should always be an option and is the building stone of any relationship.
Dating is to help each other figure out if you like each other.

Hi.. well, the best thing about what u said was u were "just being yourself", so do that, ask him to see a new movie with you as "friends" & don't tell that Caroline girl about it, be yourself with him, invite him for a cup of coffee afterwards & see what happens, u just mentioned u don't know him that well, so u too need time to know the guy before u start dating.
n'about this Caroline gurl, just ignore her! If it's meant to be, it's gonna happen with or without her in the picture, have more confidence in yourself & don't let any gurl be a thret to you. you are who u are & if he doesn't like it, he can kiss your @SS!
Trust me gurl, he's not the only cute(etc etc etc) guy out there!
Best of luck! coz u seem like a nice girl! :)

Quit being a "Yo-Yo" . Already! Caroline is not the problem, leave her out of it. Take the step, and begin talking to him more, and as they say "Let it Ride". Look elsewhere as well for a "New Life", and "New Relationships, and you will find someone

Senorita, In love sometimes we only get one chance. You must tell this man how you feel.....from your heart.....dont let life pass you by. Do you want to be 70 wishing what it would have been like if you had have asked him out? Bite the bullet....take the chance....the worst he can say is no. Go drink from the fountain of love.....it is nearly valentines day.....
Adios

Just ask him if he wants to go have coffee or lunch.
Thats a good way to start getting to know someone without the romantic pressure of an evening date.
Movies aren't really a good idea for getting to know someone because you aren't talking you're watching a movie.
No pressure, just ask.

Ask him to go dancing, your friend will have to find another person to be a partner, or why not try booking a meal for 2! Alternatively hire a horse drawn carrage or go horse riding

so go ask him out...
you might actually talk to each more..
but you do not sound like *speak/type* like someone who is old enough to be at this cross roads..you sound like you are mid-20's and that is too young to sound so fearful on meeting a guy..
anyway, asking a person on a date does not require friendship as a pre-requisite.
good luck

Just ask him out. But don't look desperate like your post. Guys can smell desperate from a mile away. Probably why he hasn't asked you yet. Good luck!

Hi YoYo,
Ask him out already! Don't need to say its a date, but you can always meet up for a casual lunch or for coffee!
good luck my friend.
