    You should know when it is appropriate to ask and when not:

    Don’ts:

    • complete strangers
    • people who cannot retreat, e.g. cashiers, waiters and the like, on a busy train/bus in an elevator etc.
    • people clearly not in a space to socialize.
    • asking for sex
    • being ambigious about intentions

    Do’s:

    • people you held a normal conversation with before
    • in a space where they are comfortable and either party can leave easily if things get awkward
    • being clear about it being a date
    • public place with individual privacy, e.g. going out for a coffee
    • no alcohol or other drugs

      This. Also, don’t put them on the spot. If unsure, give your number and let them decide. If she’s interested, she’ll text, if not you haven’t forced her to make a decision on the spot.

      Don’t forget the most important 2:

      • Be attractive

      • Don’t be unattractive

        Most women in my experience find a clean well dressed man more attrattive that a hot sitnky styless mofo. Take care of yourself. Face card can decline gentleman privilege is real.

        What is attractive and unattractive is always relative. I have seen fat girls with thin guys. And fat guys with thin girls. Many people who seemingly had a major disconnect in looks. But both found one another attractive.

        For me I am quite OK with a chubby gal as much as a petite gal. But I am not attracted to either extreme. I knew an anorexic-like skinny girl and I found her far less attractive than even a very obese girl. The anorexic gal generated some concern for me because she was clearly starving, but couldn’t eat much. Not due to a fear of getting fat, but to a metabolic issue.
