Im wondering exactly how would be the best way to ask someone out... So any advice?
Would you:
A) Ask them out (sounds stupid but you know what i mean, dont you? i.e. "Will you go out with me?")
B ) Tell them that you like them.
C) Suggest you do something sometime (i.e. "I think it would be a good idea if we did something sometime!")
Would you:
A) Tell them in person.
B ) Ask them in a text message.
C) Ask them over the net.
D) Get someone else to do it for you.
If you were to tell them in person how would you go about getting them on there own if there always with (a) friend/s? Or would you ask in front of friends?
Remember im only 13 (yes, 13 year old date too!) and ive never gone out with anyone before.

"Will you go out with me?"
Where? You got 3 years to a license.. You aren't going anywhere
"Tell them that you like them."
Not in those words..
"I think it would be a good idea if we did something sometime!"
Again not in those words.. you better have something specific
"Tell them in person."
This one is a no brainer
"B ) Ask them in a text message.
C) Ask them over the net.
D) Get someone else to do it for you."
sure if you want to look like a 13 year old.. I'm assuming you don't
Remember im only 13 (yes, 13 year old date too!) and ive never gone out with anyone before.
Buddy, you need to just let it happen.. If you find a girl you like, just talk to her.. don't "ask her out".. or "get your buddy to ask her." (lol) .. Just be her friend.. see how she reacts to you..
*sigh*
lmao @ text messaging..

Ive already posted on these forums and a few people have told me to just to go and ask them out! Im not going to ask someoneout i dont know using a text message (although one of my friends did this).
You said "not in these words". Well in what words?
This one is a no brainer
"B ) Ask them in a text message.
C) Ask them over the net.
D) Get someone else to do it for you."
By the way i was sure you would say that!

Girls are evil and expensive. Wait to date till ya get a job and access to a car helps a lot too.
But...if you insist asking this person out:
Do it in person, NOT over an IM convo, text message, e-mail, phone call, or other form of silly communication.
Don't say, "Do you wanna go out with me." *ugh* Instead, try: "Want to grab a pizza, movie, etc on Friday?" As the night goes on, see how things go and ask her to meet up again the next weekend if it goes smooth. Go from there.

Well, considering your age and all, you're probably going to have to get permission from parents and them to drive you if you want to go out, unless you're in an urban area and both you and the girl are within walking distance of somewhere fun.
Really, I'd also wait until you're a bit older to date, just because of the logistics involved, but, it's your call. I'd personally take things slow and just do some fun things with her as friends at first--then tell her later you like her.
But, for the love of the gods, don't have someone else ask her, because she'll think you're a complete wuss who's too scared to do his own dirty work, as it were. Other people have suggested asking her out in person; I don't see the problem with online, but I'm more amenable to the 'net than most people are. (The majority of my social life being online and all.)
Don't do it in front of other people. Try to talk to her alone. If you're in front of people, she may feel like you're trying to manipulate her into saying "Yes" by putting her in a situation where she and you may both be embarrassed if she says "No."
Good luck!

:laugh: Oh man, when I was in grade 9, a guy had his friend ask me out for him. And to quote, "Well maybe if [guy] came and asked me himself, my answer would be different but... No."
It was evil. But I hate people that get others to do their dirty work. *sigh*
Anyways --> I agree that 13 is a little young to date, but if you're set on it, ask her if she wants to go to *insert school event here* or *insert movie here* on *insert date here* with you. Make sure you clear it with your parents first though, if it's a non-school related event, as they'll have to provide transportation.

Thanks guys!
Yeah the whole transport thing is a bummer. But 3 years seems sooooo long to wait. I think ill probably never do anything for 3 more years, though.
Lots of people i know that are my age, or younger, have a girlfriend/boyfriend.
If i do ask her out I think I might have a bit of trouble getting her alone. Any ideas?

I take it you don't have an older brother or sister? That's how a lot of kids find transportation when they're too young to drive.
Don't listen to these people, start dating now. It's good practice. Make mistakes, that's the best way to learn.
Why don't you have a talk with your dad, uncle, or some other adult male family member? He can give you some valuable insight. In other words, what not to do :)

Nope no brothers or sisters. Well I have a sister but i never see her because she lives in another city.
It would be really embarrasing talking to my dad. He will be on my back for forever!
