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.

You're that certain your advances would be unwelcome?

[techtype]

In short, very yes.

most people don't like it when you just randomly go up and kiss them

I think. I mean, i'm pretty sure.

[freetobe]

What is your sample size to base that hypothesis on?

[techtype]

zero?

that's just kinda something you know not to do.

[freetobe]

I see. It appears the instances I witnessed were not representative. You've tried simply stating your intentions bluntly and honestly, then?

[techtype]

you might not be WRONG, just had different experiences

with different people.

and no, I haven't. that might take a level of courage I don't think I'll ever have.

Not pursuing what you hope for could let you miss out entirely. If nothing else comes of it, there is something worthwhile in making sure your interest is known and understand. You may not always have the chance to make such things heard. They may not always be there to hear and understand, either.
