Relationship advice?
« on: April 25, 2012, 06:10:56 PM »
Alright, so there's a girl I want to ask out, and tomorrow is her birthday. I can't quite decide whether asking her then would be considered romantic, weird, or downright creepy and whether or not I should wait a few days. Thoughts?

My thought is that if you have to ask here, you're screwed. Also, did she just turn 18 or something? If so it would be very creepy to ask her during some kind of birthday party.

A lot depends on this girl's personality and your current relationship with her.  I don't think we can really give you much general advice about this.

Well, if the idea isn't inherently creepy I'm probably fine. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't in itself a horrible idea, since I wasn't really sure and was overanalyzing myself.

This.

Also, there are far too many other factors for any of our opinions to likely matter.

Don't ask her out on her birthday. Just don't. Girls are really sentimental about anniversaries and I'm sure she'd appreciate having a separate day for your anniversary assuming she says yes.

What Andrew said, while not necessarily for the same reason. Mostly 'cause if you ask and she turns you down (which I'm not saying will happen, but if), it might put a bit of a damper on her birthday. Plus some girls may find it weird, girls aren't exactly all the same. The anniversary thing too, though. Those are important.

I thought of that too, but I didn't want to imply that he might get rejected.

Yeah wait a couple of days. But definitely talk to her on her birthday and/or get her a small gift. Depending on how well you know her.


Of course you could use the birthday as an advantage. Something like:

"well I wasn't sure what to get you. A beauty such as you can not simply be honored with a physical object. So I was thinking the best gift I could give you are wonderful memories. Perhaps a night of ..." add in some of her favorite activities. Dinner, dancing, a movie, etc...

I'd liked to be asked out on my birthday. I'd be thinking "Yeah, ok so I'm old ... but I'm still sexy".

You probably aren't asking out a desperate old b*st*rd though, so maybe this isn't very relevant. I've never been asked out on a birthday. But I'd definitely like it. Even if it was by someone hideous. Cos hideous people still have eyes. Well most of them. And despite lower standards there were plenty of other people who are out of their league they could have asked out. But they waited to ask me out. On my birthday. So in a way doing it on the birthday makes it seem like you have been thinking about it for a while and its not just "Yeah, I thought about sex with you today, how about that?". Of course I wouldn't mind either approach, but assuming the person you like is more fussy than me it might not be a bad thing. If you decide to ask out a middle-aged man come back to me. My advice will be far more relevant. I'll make sure you get sex then.

Depends when it feels right. To be honest I wouldn't 'ask her out' with all the trimmings that entails, I'd just wait until you're both feeling comfortable and just say something like 'want to get a drink sometime?'

Unless you're too young to get a drink, in which case, this drunkard has no useful advice. From experience though, don't ask someone out entirely out of the blue and don't ask her out online.

EDIT: I like that advice, Thork :)

Exception for normal people? Sure. But no one here is normal.

This is the basic thought process of women. They don't know what they like, but they certainly know what they don't like. It leads to a lot of unfortunate circumstances and the general rule of thumb that they will appreciate shiny objects.
