If I have a friend that I never really talk to or don't know much about, is it always a good idea to...?

Question

Ask her out on a date if she's not busy with anything?

I have a wonderful friend named Laura. I asked her out on a date earlier today on her MySpace because I don't know her very well. I know the worst I can get is a rejection. But is it always okay to ask someone out on a date so you can get to know them better if you don't know them very well to begin with?

Answer 1

You are exactly right!  The worst thing that she can say is no. If you keep that in mind all will be ok.

You never know!  I actually met my husband on myspace.

Answer 3

Perhaps this goes against the grain of eevryone's viewpoint but personally, I would hesitate to go out with someone I have not spoken to or seen or met before and who is practically a stranger. I believe in this case u have met...am guessing.

I as a girl would rather pick getting to know that person just a little bit more before he asks me out. It could just be a couple of mails back and forth...or couple of messages online back n forth. Or maybe a hello phonecall. Just a little warm up b4 he asks me out.

But you have already asked her out so there's no turning back now. I still admire ur initiative! Good going. Wish u luck, and hope you get to go out on a great date with her.  

Answer 4

Of coarse it is. What better way to get to know her better.

Answer 5

It is the perfect way to get to know a person better so go ahead and ask her out.  Like you said the worst thing she can do is say no.

Answer 6

You're completely on the ball.  The whole point of dating someone is to get to know someone.  

Clearly, you feel some sort of attraction to Laura, so I don't see the harm in asking her on a date.  

If you were really good friends with Laura and knew her on a friendship level, it might be more difficult to date them.  It's hard to make that transition from friend to date.  So, really, I think you're in the best possible situation.

I've never dated a friend.  I've only dated people I knew vaguely.  Granted, sometimes their personality didn't match what I expected, so things didn't always work out.  But, that's the "joy" in dating.  

Rejection hurts.  But it's not an epic pain.  To avoid rejection, try creating a totally awesome date plan that no girl could refuse.  Ask around and find her favorite movie, musician and restaurant.  Make a date around that and she won't be able to resist.

When I first started dating my fiance, I didn't really know him.  He was a friend of a friend.  We're engaged now, so it's worth it to take that risk.
