So...random question for anyone who's attached currently...or has been attached in the past, I'm not picky!

what's the best way to ask someone out?

that isn't "just go up to them and ask". I've tried, it don't work.

...asking for a friend, of course.

Dearest Quicksilver,

I agree with Parker, could you elaborate on what exactly went wrong?

That said, I've always found a direct approach to be the best.

[ Read: Put yourself in a dangerous situation and let them come rescue you, then offer to repay them for saving your life by taking them out to lunch, and pretend that you didn't plan that all along. See? Totally direct. Fool proof. ]

If they are not interested, you should respect their wishes.

Sincerely,
Aziraphale.

of course

nothing's gone wrong yet, that's why I'm asking for advice.

and yeah, i'm not going to end up a stalker or anything. I can take a hint.

Dearest Quicksilver,
I am still having trouble understanding what went wrong in your previous attempts. It is very difficult to give advice, I think, without knowing your situation and without knowing the individual you attempt to woo.

I think sharing a new experience together or offering to introduce one might be a good bet. It's how I first asked my current partner on a date, and we're still together!
Sincerely,
Aziraphale.
