However, there are better ways to ask than \u201cHey, want to get some coffee with me Saturday?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your odds of getting a no have risen. Why? Because you asked a question where you can get a yes or no answer. Instead, you want to ask in a way that gives you a definite yes or a thoughtful maybe. Be careful that you don\u2019t ask in a way that comes across as insulting.<\/p>\n<p>Wrong: \u201cI\u2019m not doing anything Saturday and I wondered if you\u2019d like to go out.\u201d This assumes she\u2019s not doing anything either and this could come across as offensive. You asked because you\u2019re not doing anything? Meaning if you had something better to do you wouldn\u2019t ask her? That may not be what you mean, but that\u2019s how it comes across.<\/p>\n<p>Better: \u201cI know you like Italian food and there\u2019s a new Italian restaurant in town. I\u2019d like to share the experience with you.\u201d How do you know she liked Italian food? You took the time before you asked her out on a date to talk to her friends or family about the kinds of foods she likes.<\/p>\n<p>Women appreciate a man that will go the extra mile to discover her likes and dislikes. It shows that he\u2019s the kind of man who will put effort into getting to know her. Finding out what she enjoys first will also increase your odds of getting a yes response because if you ask her to go out to seafood restaurant and she hates seafood, she might just say no and not explain that she doesn\u2019t like seafood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Men of all ages and from all backgrounds have said that the hardest part about dating is getting over the first hurdle: asking.
