1. This isn’t a big deal

At this moment, knowing how to ask a girl to hang out is a big deal for you. Otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this. It’s really not a big deal. You’re not asking her to marry you or even date you, just a simple hang out.

The reason why you miss so many opportunities with girls is you make a big deal out of something people do every day—they hang out with each other. [Read: How to make a good first impression on a girl and leave her in awe]

2. Ease up with the seriousness

Again, you’re not asking to marry her – you’re just asking the girl to hang out. There’s no need to ask her out using Old English, “Will thy lady accompany me to dinner?” If anything, it freaks her out and ends the opportunity for you to hang out with her because you made her nervous. Keep it casual.

Yes, ask her to the movies but say it in a non-aggressive way. For example, “You want to catch a movie this weekend?” or “Want to grab something to eat?” [Read: How to ask someone to hang out over text correctly and get a big yes]

3. Don’t just do it randomly

If you never talk to her and suddenly one day walk up to her and ask her out, she’d probably say no, or yes and then make up an excuse when it’s time to go on the date. Create some sort of relationship with her.

Make her comfortable around you. No one goes on a date with a complete stranger. Even people we meet at bars and clubs, we usually spent a couple minutes prior talking to them. [Read: How to get a girl to notice you and like you without even talking to her]

4. Ask her out when she’s in a positive mood

If you want a girl to agree to hang out with you, ask her in a moment where you’re experiencing a fun and happy conversation. Maybe she laughs at your story or just finished telling you a funny joke.

The point is, women listen to their emotions, so it’s best to ask a girl out when she’s in a good mood.

5. Keep the date idea simple

Of course, you want to take her on an amazing date filled with puppies and ice cream and sports cars, but don’t. Seriously, you may think women like that, but we don’t—especially not on a first date. Keep it super simple.

Go for a walk, go to the beach, grab an ice cream. Something focused on getting to know each other. Plus, a simple date idea won’t intimidate her. [Read: How to ask a girl out when you’re a shy guy and do it with confidence]

6. Communicate with her

If you asked a girl to hang out already, then why not keep the communication going up until the date.

Talk to her when you see her, text her when apart. It helps relax both of you and creates a relationship. Therefore, when you meet up, it won’t be dead silence. [Read: A complete guide to texting before the first date]

7. When in doubt, hang out in groups

If you’re scared to ask the girl to hang out alone, try suggesting a group. Listen, if you think she likes you but is nervous, this is a good idea. This makes her feel more comfortable with the idea and relaxed since she has support around her.

You’ll also be able to see how she interacts with her friends and what her interests are as she’s more herself than on a one-on-one hang out.

8. Choose a place that’s convenient and open

Asking her over to watch a movie at your place isn’t going to happen.

First of all, she assumes all you want is a hook up. Second, you asked her out, so make an effort to actually go out with her instead of her driving to your house.

Pick a public place, it makes her feel more comfortable and shows her you respect her. [Read: How to talk to a girl – The secrets to smooth talk and impress girls]

9. There’s no right time

Whether you ask a girl to hang out today or in three weeks, it doesn’t matter. If you’re trying to figure when or how to ask a girl to hang out, there’s literally no right time to do it.

And, if you wait, you run the risk of someone else asking her out and stealing your chance. In other words, it’s time to man up and just take the chance. You can do it. [Read: How to ask your crush out – 15 steps to be cool, brave and confident]

10. If she says no, stop

If you ask her out once and she says no, okay, you can ask one more time. But if she says no after two asks, then stop.

Her saying no is because of three reasons: she’s busy, she doesn’t want to hang out with you, she’s a flake. Regardless of which, don’t waste your time waiting.

11. Keep it respectful

There are many men who, when asking a girl out, send a dick pic or ask them to send nudes. Listen, you may get a date out of it, we’re not going to say you won’t, but you’re not going to land yourself anything meaningful or worthwhile.

If you genuinely like a girl, speak to her in a respectful manner. Most girls don’t want to see a dick pic or send nudes. [Read: How to talk to women and capture their attention immediately]

12. Plan something fun to do

If the girl says yes to hang out with you, then congratulations! The hard part is over. But now you have to come up with something fun to do because you don’t want to bore her.

So, you don’t want to just ask her to come hang out at your place. Not only is this unexciting, she might think you just want to have sex with her. And that’s not a good message to send!

So, in the next section, we’ll give you some ideas for what to do when you hang out with her.

13. Accept rejection

You have to mentally prepare for the fact that she might say no. And that’s okay! Listen, everyone has been rejected many, many times—more times than they’d like to admit. But here’s the thing: it happens sooner or later. This has nothing to do with you.

She’s just not into you which is great actually. You save yourself the time and energy of hanging out with someone who wasn’t interested in seeing you in the first place. In the last section, we’ll talk about how to make yourself feel better if you get rejected.
