is it weird to ask a girl out on facebook

It should always be the absolute last resort. If possible, just ask get her phone number via Facebook, then ask her out via phone. Facebook in even lower in the Communications Continuum than email.

MySpace->Facebook->email->phone->in person

Get as high up on this as you can.

Yes.

Even asking for her number via facebook so that you could call her to ask her out would be better.

well it's not really asking out like will you be my girlfriend...it's just would you like to go watch the game tommorow?

I say it's okay. I think text-messaging is worse because if you are using a phone then you should just call.

Grow some stones.

That's somewhat more acceptable. I'd say go for it unless her number is immediately available.

thanks for the help, i just did it.

i just did the old add them on facebook, then send messages back and forth for a bit so she knows youre not crazy, then get her number and progress from there. once you prove youre not a stalker, or at least trick her into thinking youre not one, youre golden.

Not at all. A lot of 40 year old guys who live with their mom do it all the time. It is the best way to meet young girls and end up on Dateline.

so,

how did it go?

elaborate us.

Please tell me you're joking

Is it possible to upload a Powerpoint file into Facebook?

It'll work, but it's not as smooth a move as breaking up with a girl by changing your relationship status from "in a relationship" with her to "single."

Yes it's weird. Unless you have been exchanging lots of flirty messages...but if your only communication with someone is through facebook, why would you want to "go out" with them? I've asked girls to dances in person, over the phone, on aim, by email, even over facebook, but actually asking someone out it should at least be interactive (like aim).

Are you Nathan Johnson?

So you're posting anonymously on a running-related message board to seek advice as to whether you should semi-anonymously ask a girl out via Facebook. Brilliant.

She will be flattered and impressed if you tell her the whole tale.

Listen, by asking her out on facebook yoa have instantly thrown yourself into the role of the desperate pursuer.

Women are weird in that they can sense this and are immidiately turned off by it. I'll admit I dont understand women, but have some sense of how they act. They are attracted to confidence first of all. This shows that you have no confidence.

The trick to getting the girl you want is to get her to pursue you. Interest her. Make her want to talk to you.

You have to give her a reason to take a chance on you and go out on a date. Why would she want to date a guy like

If that's your only means of communucation find another way. Does she live in another part of the country? Book a trip to see friends there. Do you see her on campus? Make some absurd excuse to talk to her.

By asking her out on facebook, to her it seems like a desperate Hail Mary. You are taking the easy road here, and girls don't respect that. Go out of your comfort zone.

They also, I have learned, are like dogs, in that they can smell fear. With this plan she'll smell you from a mile off and you've lost before you even began.

The very fact that you ask that question tells me you are not ready.

I even get laid on Facebook.
