There's this girl at work that I'd like to ask out. We've already hung out together at this get together last week and sometimes chit-chat when we bump into each other at work. I've never asked her out to get a drink or have dinner though, just the two of us. So the question is this. Should I ask the person out via Email? I mean, if I had never really talked to her much, then I would do it in person. But at least I know her a little better from the last time we got together at this party. I'm just wondering if I should do it through Email because:1. Less pressure on me on sounding like a dope if get tongue tied.2. It'll be easier on her to say no if she's not interested.I mean, the way I see it, if she did want to go out on a date, she would say yes regardless of whether it was an Email or in person. What do you guys think?

Asking for a Date via Email

i wouldnt do it, it doesnt really give you alot of points in that department i would just say suck it up and ask her out in real life, confidence is key hiding behind your keyboard isnt really the best thing you can do, if you cant ask her in real life how are you going to talk to her on the date? You can do it dude find her in the hallway, and ask her if shes doing anything friday night, keep eye contact and smile ... remember dude She is just a person like you just talk

its impressive if a guy can do it to your face..

Dang, it's hard to just run into her without anybody around. Looks like I'll have to just wait for the right moment. I'd like to do this soon, that's why I was considering an Email, but it's going to be hard to find a scenario where it's just the two of us in person.

It's easier for her to say no via email and plus you'll look like a pussy.

You need to exude confidence, it's rather important. You're working yourself up too much with the whole 'date' thing. Just approach her and start talking normally. Then say, "Hey, how would you like to go to the movies sometime" ... "Sure" ... "How about xxxxxday?" ....Don't think of it as though you're asking her out on a date. You're asking a friend out to the movies. What's wrong with that? If you take this approach you'll come across much smoother and confident.

Silent rain is spot on.........make it a comfortable casual thing, not an "OH MY GOD!" thing, and it will go smoothly. You can do it - good luck

It's funny; no matter how you feel inside, you have to act confident (mind your body language!), but that's how the game is played. A lot of acting is done in the relationship-starting dance.
The girl doesn't have to be confident. Just receptive.

NOdont do it because after u ask her over email, u will act extremely wierd about it when u see her. in other words, when u see her again it will look like u are evading to talk about asking her out and will put unneeded pressure on u and she will be confused as hell. and there is also the fact that u will look like the type that cant confront a girl to ask her out face 2 face. thts y i wouldnt recommend asking ur co--worker out thru email. if u hav problems talkin face 2 face, i heard that playing with something in your pockets should help with it. i dont know if u blush but like it said in the other post, ur composure is very important...but if u still wanna ask her thru email, taking the risks mentioned above i say u should choose ur words carefully when u email her.
