Asking someone out on a date is never easy because of too much pressure involved. But one must try to overcome the fear of dismissal, try to keep in mind that it is always a part of it and that you can never achieve a result without even trying.

Step 1
The very first thing you need to put in mind when you are asking someone out is that rejection is always a part of it. You have to know that nearly half of those who tried to ask someone out got rejected, so essentially you need to deal with it because it’s just fine. You may not know the reason for rejection but at least you need to understand that there are always fifty-fifty chances of getting a real date. - 2
Step 2
One of the most basic practices on asking someone out is to ask the person directly. It is asking them face to face if they could go out with you on a date. Don’t let the anxiety of rejection ruined your confidence, all you need to do is ask, if the person said yes then that would be great, if the person said no then you need to be hopeful that you can ask him/her out the next time around. - 3
Step 3
Another way to ask someone out is sending the person indirect invites. You may tell them that you will be free on the weekends, and you ask the person if he/she would love to come see a movie or a ball game with you. If the person say yes then you are good to go, but if not there are still some other times to ask the person again or you move on with another prospect date. - 4
Step 4
If the indirect way of asking for a date isn’t a success then work it out in a very direct manner. You might want to straight things out by asking her if he/she would come to dinner with you or ask the person if he/she join you watch a movie on a weekend. That would chiefly imply the message that you are very determined to date the person. If that turns out positive then enjoy your date if not, you still have to move on to the last option. - 5
Step 5
Nowadays it is nearly impossible that a person didn’t know about social networking. Almost everyone across the globe do have social networking account, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google+, Skype to name the few, so it is never too impossible to know the whereabouts and the likes of the person you are eyeing to date. You might want to take the courage to ask the person through chat and SMS if you are too shy to do it in person. Some people have high success in getting a date through social networking and chat because they could engage with a simmering conversation first then do the meet-up later on. And they either ended up having a relationship or they dated again.
