ASKING HIM OUT

***FOUR WAYS TO ASK A GUY OUT ***

When it comes to dating, more and more women are taking matters into their own hands. So if he still hasn't asked you out, don't sit at home on a Saturday night waiting for your phone to ring. Here are four ways to take the initiative and ask HIM out . . .

#1.) BUY HIM A DRINK. When you're out with friends and a guy catches your eye, send over a beer. It lets him know you're interested and forces HIM to make the next move. There's a reason guys do it . . . IT WORKS.

#2.) USE A PICKUP LINE. When a GUY uses a bad pickup line, it's just lame . . . but a GIRL can actually get away with it. You can even turn it into a joke. But be careful . . . If you say anything remotely SEXUAL, he might think you're serious.

#3.) SUGGEST A GUY-FRIENDLY DATE. Try to figure out what he likes to do. Ask what he did last weekend, and then suggest something similar. You might hate going to the batting cages, but doing what YOU want to do isn't the goal right now.

#4.) INVITE HIM ON A GROUP DATE. If you don't have the nerve to ask him out on a SOLO date, invite him to come out with you and a bunch of your friends. It takes the pressure off you AND makes for a less-stressful first date.--But whatever you do, DON'T let your Giselle look-alike friend tag along. You want to make sure his eyes stay glued to YOU.
