You've got that hot female on your mind. Or the classmate you've been eyeing for some time. Or what about the woman you met online. Grab your mojo! Here's a simple guide to ask your crush out!...because how are you going to be in a good relationship, if you haven't gone out on a date yet?!

Let's change that baby! Even if you're shy, you can get over it by reading this first!

1) Build connection Let him/her get to know your great personality so he/she can be drawn to you. You'll increase your chances once you have a connection.

2) Remember what she/he likes Did she mention her favorite food? Or an activity he hasn't tried? Or music that they like? Be intuitive so you have date suggestions that he/she will be into.

3) Confidence Know your strong qualities and know that you're a good catch.

4) Your approach Depending where you met her/him…at school? at work? at the local starbucks? or online?
Classmate- talk in person
Met online- call or email
At her workplace- talk in person

5) Ice breaker then the question Follow-up on a point of your previous conversation or give her a compliment. Then mention, something along the lines of, "Remember we talked about _______. Let's go to _____________ next week. What do you think about ___(suggest a day)." This shows that you are assertive and you're giving a suggestion, not a question.

6) Confirm the date Call or email that person the day before to confirm pickup or meet-up location.

7) Remember! Not every person is going to be your match, so don't take it personal if she/he is not up for the date. There's tons of great people out there for you. And if that person is a flake, then don't overthink it. Only invest your time in people who are mature and will appreciate you and your time!
