How To Ask A Girl Out (In A Round About Way)

View Comments July 22, 2006 | Everton

There’s an email doing the rounds in London at the moment sent by a poor guy trying to ask a girl out he met at a party in a very, very soppy way. I’ve received 3 copies so far today so I’m sure this will be hitting the major news soon.
I think his ‘rap’ is bit too sloppy but judging by the reaction he’s getting and by the fact that some girls are calling and asking him out (his mobile number is in the email) maybe I should start using his style!

Some of the follow-up comments have been great:

  • So far, my Friday sucks but this has cheered me up…Read from the bottom up. I’d have had a restraining order whacked on this guy! What’s wrong with him?! He won’t go far but his email will!!! K
  • Read from the bottom up, what an absolute putz.
  • It reminds me of when Brendon Fraser was that sappy muppet for a while on Bedazzled.
  • Have you girls seen this one yet? Read from the bottom up. Your smile is the freshest of my special memories? Poor sod.

  • For f * cks sake, I’m still cleaning the vomit chunks out between the keys on my keyboard….Come to think of it, I’m gonna ask this dude out on a date…anyone who can speak so much sh !t deserves to buy me dinner and a movie ticket. The best part is that I just rung this dude and his mobile number is legit…. He answered and I told him I was a publisher and I wanted him to narrate a book titled “how to vomit 101″. He said email him the details. I love this guy….
  • I think the bloke (scroll way down to botton) is a d !ck. The sloppy sl#ts on this mail think he’s sweet on how he asked out some girl!!!
  • Another one of these Claire Swires-type e-mails. Quite funny though, poor guy. Maybe we should give him a call…? Fight you for him, Johnson!
  • If this bloke can get a date – everyone has to have a chance…

Update:  I have posted a copy of the email and all the funny comments in the forum

If you just want to just read the email, then it’s available on the next page.

  • Yes Everton, sometimes, simply admitting your vulnerabilities disarms them. It's the ultimate charm!

    It's worked for me even with the mythical HB10s that the PUA community likes to idolize

    Jesus, with all the people here calling the woman a "bitch" for rejecting an email like this, is there any wonder they posted it? This is exactly why sending someone this kind of email is controlling. While it appears old-fashioned and sweet on the surface, when you consider that the guy barely knows the woman, that she has NO obligation to say yes to him, it's clearly just putting her in a bad situation.

    Men who do this deserve to be mocked and ridiculed. It is not possible to be in love with a person you have just met. It is possible to be interested in them and find them attractive, yes. But love takes time, it requires actually knowing the person well, and understanding who they are. Anyone who claims to love you this much is either a)just trying to get in your pants or b)not in touch with reality. This isn't cynicism, it's the truth. It's important that someone be in love with YOU, and not the IDEA of you.

    In the 1800's women were placed on a pedestal and "love," IMO, was usually more an expression of interest in finding a suitable mate, as well as an obsession over the abstract idea of love for the woman. Quite frankly I think it is much better now, when people are less likely to fool themselves and see the woman as a full person--actually focusing on the woman herself.

    This guy is not being honest with her or with himself. He's a creep. And I DON'T think he has a good heart.
  • Sometimes it helps when you just approach and say “You make me nervous, but I just had to say hi.”


    Strange but true. This happened to me once. I was in a club and I walked past this girl who was so beautiful I nearly fell over. I went back and said 'I couldn't walk past someone as beautiful as you and not at least say hello' She must have known I was being genuine, particularly as I nearly fell over in front of her, so when I turned to walk away, she took me by the hand and asked me to stay...

    Is this a man or a wuss? I vote wuss.

    He doesn't know her... He is practically telling her that he is obsessed with her... He clearly scared her... Not to mention he was spouting poetry and that is a sign of desperation to any young lady.

    I'm not trying to rag on this guy too much because we've all been there at some point. Every guy has screwed himself over with a girl but the smart ones learn from their mistakes. For those of you who DON'T think he made a mistake, the only thing I have to do to destroy all your arguements is to point out the reaction of the girl who recieved this email.

    So what should he have done?

    He should have shown her enough respect not to use an email to try and get a date and confess his obsession. Email is good for getting someone's number or to get them to call you. Use the phone to schedule a date. I don't think that admitting you are obsessed with someone is ever the best way to build a relationship (at least not a healthy one) but if you are going to do it, at least have the balls to do it face to face.

    It really does seem like the guy is "nice" and has a good heart. Unfortunately, he is also coming across as desperate and insecure. Not a good combo.
  • Sometimes it helps when you just approach and say "You make me nervous, but I just had to say hi."

    Sincerity helps. Lots!
  • On the same note, I personally would have stopped right where he said he should of, the guy got balls, but no sense at all!
  • I honestly think the guy has got balls of steel to open his heart like that to a girl, what on earth is wrong with that????
    Boo Hiss Nay to the heartless bitch who decided it would be funny to publish it and embarrass this guy who has just payed her the biggest compliment of her life, makes me sad to think that even so called intelligent women can be so cold...

    I hope she dies a lonely old spinster, that is all she deserves

    Everton, I quote: "I think his ‘rap’ is bit too sloppy but judging by the reaction he’s getting and by the fact that some girls are calling and asking him out (his mobile number is in the email) maybe I should start using his style!"

    Unless there are photos that come with those phone calls of proposals I'd steer well clear.
  • Dollarman
    I am one for being confidently direct (but not too much). For one, that's how I like to be approached and two, mainly because you don't get drawn into the sometimes long process of working out whether this person is into you or not while at the same time being polite. The round about way is just another extension of mind games which I think should be only used for sales techniques.

    I find when you don't beat about the bush it is (mostly) appreciated.

    That ain't nice at all. What a bitch whore for behaving in such a fashion. I hope the slapper never gets a date again.
