Ask a Girl Out on Facebook

So now you're trying to find a potential date partner on the latest social networking wonder, Facebook? Wow! A brilliant idea, I would say. Hundreds of female profiles to access. So your life is going to change soon, for the better. Well, it isn't so simple as it seems because just like online dating, now 'Facebook dating' can be a bit complex.

Asking a Girl Out on Facebook
Given the popularity of this website, it seems people are going to do every possible task on Facebook (no invitation cards for marriage, just post on your fb wall: Getting married!!). However, if you are even gearing up to ask your potential girlfriend on Facebook, you have to be very careful. Here are some tips to make your journey smoother.

She is the Girl I Have Never Seen Before
There are many possibilities about the girl you're dreaming to date through Facebook that are as follows:

• She is your college diva but you panic on facing her. Hence, Facebook seems a cool option for breaking the ice. So far, so good.
• She is your female friend's friend. You spend quite a significant number of hours going through the 'mutual friends list' and thinking if you should send her a friend request. Should you ask your female friend about the friend you're interested in? Surely, you have checked all her profile pics and albums, only to find that she has blown your heart. Smart geek, you are.
• She is the girl you met at a bar and you found out her on Facebook. Is destiny trying to meet you? Don't be serious, I was joking.
• She is a girl you saw in a friend's party and you're really gung ho about her. You're spending sleepless nights thinking about her? Are you, really?
• She may be your colleague working in the same department but don't you think asking her out on Facebook will be funny? You meet daily and even then you take the help of Facebook to ask her for a date? Not a very great idea friend.

In all the above cases, she may or may not be knowing you. My first advice is that you should only ask a girl out if you know her personally or if she is your friend's friend. The idea is that she must at least know you exist. This is important because I don't think a girl will trust a complete stranger. Still, if you really don't know her, just send her a message for accepting your friend request. It's obvious she will ask you to introduce yourself as she doesn't know who you're. Be prepared and just try to come up with a creative answer. Like you can say, "I just read about your hobbies, interests and thought you will be a great person to know". If you just hint her that you want to be friends with her and so you have send a friend request it may appear a bit strange (don't you think it is funny? How on Earth, you'll suddenly want to be friends with someone?). That's why, I'm again saying, she must be aware that you exist as a mortal soul on this planet.

Make Hay While The Sun Shines
You have been the busiest guy on Facebook since many weeks and you're just awaiting when 'she' comes online and pokes you, posts a message on your wall, chats with you, sends you a farmville request, answers a personality quiz about you and sends you a Facebook kiss. If that is so then you may be expecting too much right now. C'mon wait for a few days. As said earlier, if you know her, she may not ignore you completely. So here is the possibility of chatting. Be creative during chats. If she is never initiating it, you initiate it (be selfish, you want to date her, so you have to do that!!). Begin with simple "Hey, how are you, how's the college going?". Be armed with numerous ice breaker questions for adults and also learn simple ways to describe yourself on the Internet. Being original is the only way out as when you'll meet her, she will know the truth. So be honest in your information.

Don't infiltrate her privacy and start asking rapid fire questions. Also, keep your research on and know about her likes, dislikes, favorite movies and all stuff posted in info section. Every minute detail can be your weapon to unlock a series of conversations. If you're a completely stranger to the person, believe me, maintain a distance and just greet 'hi, bye, good morning, good night' etc., before you get comfortable. Guys, girls are intuitive and she will, for sure, discover your purpose and intent. If the girl knows you, she will not be hesitant to chat with you. For at least a month or so depending on the frequency of your chatting, you can see if she is getting comfortable to you while chatting. It's difficult to predict if she will be ready to meet you. So after sometime, when you both have known each other, ask her to come out with you for a coffee, movie or any concert.

It all depends on numerous factors and you must have some element of luck along with the panache to impress her. Giving you advise on how to ask a girl out on facebook, as you can see, was not very easy, given the lack of face to face communication on Facebook. But I tried to help you. Don't be desperate and post anything stupid on her wall or scrap her something that she may not like. Have fun and don't come too hard on everything. It's just fun and believe me, instead of trying on Facebook, go and ask her, individually. That is far more impressive than fb!! Hope you get the point! Wish you all the best!
