I just moved in to a house in Lake Park, NC. I have lived here for a week and I like this girl that lives across the street. I don't have the nerve to ask her out. Can someone tell me a good way to ask her out.
Additional info, added Wednesday July 26 2006, 5:20 pm: I am the shy type and I don't always walk up to people and say hey. Is there I way I can get her to notice me. I met her before when my dog went lose and i went across the street to get her. Should I use my dog.. Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?

Hrcoole answered Thursday July 27 2006, 1:51 am: using your dog might be a good idea just make sure she is outside. ask her how she is, and if she would like to hang out sometime. talk about what her hobbies are, and stuff like that, tell her about you and after awhile tell her that you like her, and ask if she will go with you.
OR...
instead of using the dog, you could write a little note saying i am new, would like to get to know you, i like you, i live across the street my name is- whatever your name is lets hang out. leave your number and put a rose with the note if you can, then the next time you see her outside use the dog- let it go free to her house and just ask did you get my note? and see what she says.
which ever you perfer personaly i think the 2nd one is more romantic, and it would get her to smile. the number thing well i would wait a couple days and see if she calls and then use the dog.
uisforukelele answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 6:47 pm: i'm 15/f... definitely, definitely use the dog. chicks love dogs. actually, just fyi... when new guys move into girls' neighborhoods or schools, they really get excited because it's a potential boyfriend. so even though they might not seem interested in you, it's because they're trying to quit from jumping up and down from excitement. with that said, i think you should wait for her to go outside and then walk the dog up and down the street. i know you're shy (i am too) but if you just force yourself to say "hey" to her, she will probably strike up a conversation. then, get to know her a bit, maybe over the course of a week (just like, talking to her every now and then when you walk the dog). okay, so then a week after you've introduced yourself, ask her if she wants to hang out sometime. after hanging out, she'll fall in love with you and then you'll live happily ever after. good luck!

Xenolan answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 6:17 pm: I like the idea of using the dog. But that's just ringing the doorbell. There's still the matter of what to say when she opens it.
Remember, she doesn't know anything about you, and in some ways that's a plus, because she doesn't know that you're the shy type. So, with an effort of will on your part, perhaps you don't need to be.
I suggest that you begin by asking her how long she's lived in town. It's a good opener because no matter how she answers, you've got an "in". If she's been there for a long time, then you can ask her to help you get to know the town. If she's been there only a short time, then you can point out that you have that in common.
From there, I suggest you ask her on a LUNCH date. Lunch is less intimate and therefore less forward than dinner, and she is more likely to say yes. Lunch is a more friendly meal, and though I gather Friendship isn't your ultimate goal here, it's probably better to start with that than to try for romance right away - it goes back to the "she knows nothing about you" thing.
Be prepared for rejection! Not because of anything that has to do with you, but she may already have a boyfriend or something. Take it in stride if it happens, and say that as neighbors you'd still like the chance to get to know each other. Then start mowing the front lawn and washing the cars a lot. This keeps you outside where she can see you, and as a bonus your parents will probably really appreciate it.
If you hit it off well at lunch, then that's when you say "We should do this again sometime." If she agrees, make the date right away, and this time go to dinner. If that works out well... you can take it from there.

Teza answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 5:13 pm: Don't ask her out right away. I mean, she doesn't even know you or anything about you so it would be akward. When you see her just introduce yourself and start a coversation. Keep talking to her and once you guys get to know each other a bit better then ask her out.

emilyy answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 5:13 pm: You could ask her if she could show you around the city (unless you already lived there and just moved into a new house).
Like everyone else has said, try saying hello when both of you are outside and inviting her to lunch. If you have a pet (such as a dog) they make good conversation starters.
FrEe2bMe answered Wednesday July 26 2006, 5:11 pm: Well, I wouldn't "ask her out" right off the bat. What you can do is introduce yourself. If you want, you could have your parents go with you and introduce themselves to her parents. Like for example either you or both you and your family can go over and say " Hi, we are new in the neighborhood this is my son..." Chances are, they'll say oh we have a daughter your age. When you finally are able to talk to her (even if it's just a simple hello at the mailbox) you could say "since I am new maybe we could hang out sometime, or you can show me some cool stuff to do" This way, you can see if you like her and if she's interested and it could lead to asking her out. :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
