- QuestionI can I ask a girl out without seeing her

Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerYes, you can! Many people chat via dating app before meeting up in person for a date. Make sure you spend time getting to know her before asking her out, as she's more likely to say "yes" if she feels like she knows and can trust you. If she says "yes" and you still haven't seen a picture of her, you can ask politely for a photo so that you'll be able to recognize her when you meet up. - QuestionHow to ask your online friend outHow.com.vn Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerStay lighthearted and positive when you ask them on a date; let your friend know you like them a lot and you're interested in exploring a romantic relationship with them. Make it clear that it's okay if they don't feel the same—their friendship is important to you, and you'd like to stay friends no matter what.
Tips
- Be patient instead of repeatedly messaging your crush for a response. If you're polite, friendly, and engaging, you'll get a positive answer! In the meantime, it's important to give your crush space to respond in their own time.[10] A delay might not mean "no," especially when jobs and school can be so busy.Thanks
- If the answer is "no," remember to accept it gracefully rather than arguing. Your crush will be happy that you respected their wishes, and you might even score a date later on after you've gotten to know one another better.Thanks

About This Article
If you’re more confident chatting online, it can be a great way to ask someone out while keeping your nerves in check. Instead of jumping right in, start a casual conversation with them first. You can ask what they’ve been up to or talk to them about something fun you have in common. Avoid serious topics, and throw in a few jokes to keep things lighthearted. If the conversation’s going well, ask them to hang out sometime or just ask if they want to be your boyfriend or girlfriend. For example, say something like, “I really enjoy talking to you, and I’d love to get to know you better. Would you like to hang out sometime when you’re free?” If you're not ready to ask them to hang out, try asking for their number instead. Try not to take it personally if they say no, since you'll find someone who's better for you. For more advice, including how to be yourself when talking online, read on!
