Top 10 Mistakes Guys Make When Asking a Girl Out

1) Being Immature - If you are a bit nervous it's easy to start telling silly jokes or playing around a little too much. Be mature but still have fun, just don't make it cheesy.

2) Don't ask her out in front of a group. This will put her under pressure to say 'yes' or 'no'. If she's not completely confident or worried what her friends might think it will be more likely to be a 'no'.

3) Don't try to touch her. There is a time and place but getting too physical with her will make her think you treat her like an object rather then a person.

4) Do not ask her immediately. If she does not know you it is easy for her to say 'no'. Get to know her before you ask her out.

5) Getting a friend to do the asking. This is a definite no-no. No girl wants to be asked out through a friend and it doesn't put you in a good light. If you are going to ask her out, find the time and place to ask her and do it yourself. You don't have to make a big deal out of asking her out, but you do have to do it yourself.

6) Don't try to win her over with gifts. Either she likes you or she doesn't. Buying little gifts for her or expensive flowers will no change her mind.

7) Make sure you look your best. Have a shave, put on some new clothes and try a bit of breath freshener. The way you look now is the way she will assume you always look, so look you best.

8) Don't be too persistent. If she says 'no', it means she is not interested at this point in time. You can still be her friend but if you keep asking her out after she has given you such a clear signal she is not interested you will only scare her off completely.

9) Smile and keep eye contact. If you are looking around nervously she will think you are not really interested or have other things on your mind. You don't have to stare at her but just gently move your eyes around her face.

10) Find out about her. If you are going to ask her out, find out what she likes. What hobbies or sports is she into. It's also a great way to start getting to know her as you might be able to do some of those things together.
