I have noticed quiet a few posts on this sub recently on how to ask a girl out on a date, especially from social events or Daygame.

Online dating is pretty straightforward. You guys matches, there is some mutual interest, and you are both going to meet for a date. It's clear.

Offline dating isn't that straightforward. But I am convinced that you need to make it clear that it's a "date" and not "hanging out"/"let's be friends"

Here's an incident from my last number close from this weekend.

I had setup a date from Bumble for Saturday night. I wanted to stock up my apartment with drinks and things to eat, incase I bounce my date to my apartment.

So I head to the grocery store and head to the drinks section. There are two hired guns (good looking girls that work in stores). They were busy taking pictures.

I was in bit of a rush. So I didn't pay attention and started looking for drinks.

I was a bit lost, so I asked one of them for non-alcoholic drinks. I asked in Spanish (I am traveling in a South American city). She offered to help and started showing me different drinks, and then she tried explaining to me in English.

As she got closer, I noticed how attractive she really was. She was a short voluptuous chick with a nice personality. She was clearly trying to help me as a customer.

But I was curious.. So I started talking. It was regular banter. She asked where I am from, and what I was doing. Blah blah blah.

I started liking her more. She had beautiful eyes and was cool. So I asked her out in a weak way "Hey I want to improve my Spanish and you can practice your English. Let's meet for coffee"..

As soon as I said this, I felt like a pussy. What was I thinking?

She seemed a bit surprised and asked "so you want to meet for language exchange?"

I paused for a second and replied "you know what. That's not completely true. To be honest, I find you really attractive and you have a cool personality. I am inviting you on a date.. We will get to know each other.. And the language exchange is a bonus".

At this moment she paused, looked into my eyes and smiled and said "OK. Do you want my Whatsapp?"

I said "yes".

We exchanged numbers. She said "I have to get back to work. I hope that's OK". I agreed.

I then went around and did my shopping. As I was leaving she waved me goodbye.

I messaged her in an hour and she immediately replied. We agreed to meet on a date this upcoming week.

LESSONS: -- Opportunities are everywhere.. Always be open to Gaming. Or always be ready to talk to girls. You never know which ones will turn into dates. -- Be more direct with your intent. Make it a man-to-man interaction and not friend-to-friend.
