1. Set a Date
First, set a date! I can’t stress this enough. A lot of the times, the girl will ask him out, but then forget about setting a date and it lingers there. After you ask him out, why not immediately set the date there? That is a great way to not leave things lingering!
2. Pick Something You Both like Doing
The date matters girls, you don’t want your first date to just be dinner and a movie. Why not do something that you both like? Are you outdoorsy? Are you looking for a way to incorporate arts and crafts? Find a common ground and stick with it! He wants to go out with you because he wants to get to know you, so show him what you like to do!
Frequently asked questions
First off, congrats! Take it easy and have a plan. Choose a fun, casual place where you can both relax and get to know each other better. And remember to be yourself!
It sounds like he enjoys spending time with you! He might be interested in you too, but don't stress about reading too much into it. Just enjoy your time together and see where things go naturally.
That can be tough, but it’s best to give him some space. Maybe he's unsure or needs time to think. Don't push for an immediate answer. Focus on staying positive and see what evolves naturally.
Preparation is key! Have some casual conversation topics in mind and maybe an activity you can both enjoy. Keep things light and fun, and don’t forget to relax and be yourself.
Don't worry too much about it. Not every hangout needs to be perfect. If things get awkward, just laugh it off and move on. The important thing is that you're spending time together and getting to know each other.
3. Be Confident, He Said Yes!
This is absolutely one of the most nerve-wrecking things to deal with – asking someone out. If he said yes though, why are you not confident in yourself? You conquered your fear girls and he didn’t reject you! This should make you feel on top of the world and super confident!
4. Look Amazing but Dress for the Date
This is one of the biggest dating tips that I had a hard time following when I was in the dating scene: dressing amazing, but dressing for the date. If you are going horseback riding, you don’t want to wear a skirt for that. So remember, you still want to look amazing, but you definitely want to dress for the date.
5. Don't Tell Your Friends Right Away
Your friends are great, but when you ask him out, you don’t want to scare him away by having your friends involved. After you ask him out, why don’t you wait a little bit before telling your friends, that way it can sink in. Keeping it to yourself might be the best bet, in the beginning; you don’t want to overwhelm your guy!
6. Don't Stress if He Doesn't Call Right Away
Girls, this dating tip is all about you and your stress – don’t! If he doesn’t call within a couple hours after you ask him out and set a date, don’t worry! You should only worry if he doesn’t call you or show up the day of the date. That’s the only time you should worry about it. Relax!
***
The world of dating can be filled with uncertainty, but your peace of mind is paramount. Remember, just as you have a life full of activities, commitments, and obligations, so does he. There could be countless reasons for a delayed response that have nothing to do with his interest level. Maybe he's caught up at work, out with friends, or simply bad with time management. By maintaining your cool, you show not only confidence but also that you respect his time and yours. Keep yourself busy, and before you know it, that awaited call might just come through!
7. Have Him Pick You up
This one might seem like a great idea, but truthfully, if you two meet at the date spot that might be a good option too. For me, I am a little old-fashioned and I want someone that is going to come to my place and pick me up. It’s a thrill and it’s a chance to show off your place a little – if you want to let them in!
***
If you prefer the traditional approach of being picked up, it's also a subtle test for your date's punctuality and effort. There's something inherently romantic about a date beginning right at your doorstep. This gesture sets the tone for the evening and gives you a glimpse into your date's level of interest and chivalry. However, always prioritize your comfort and safety above all; if you're not ready to have them know where you live, meeting at the date spot is perfectly acceptable and smart. It's about what makes you feel at ease.
8. After the Date Don't Call Right Away, Let Him Call
Now that you’ve went on the date, what do you do after that? Don’t call! You don’t want to seem too desperate and you do want to make sure that you leave him wanting more; so relax, chill out and just let him call you. If he doesn’t after a couple days, maybe call him and casually see what he is up to!
9. Make Him Ask You out on the Second Date
Finally, you don’t always want to be the one asking him out, you want to make sure that he is asking you out too, so don’t ask him out for the second date. He needs to do a little work here too girls and making him ask you out is a great way to keep some mystery about yourself!
So, there you have it, all of my top next steps after you’ve asked him out. Have you ever asked a guy out? What did he say? What other next steps after you’ve asked him out do you follow?

Alejandra: What do we do if he cancels?
Katie: We went hiking last week (I asked him) and he seemed to be into me. But then we worked together just the two of us and seemed really awkward and as if he wasn't interested anymore. I'm not sure if I should wait and see if he will ask me, or i should ask him (again) to do something. Do I add him on Facebook in the mean time?
l1bra: i dont know if this is still active but yeah i've been going out with this guy for almost 2 months then just one day he just put some distance between the 2 of us. Then i asked him if he's still interested in dating. He said "i do like you" but with my studies and traveling its a little difficult to date. He's a 3rd yr. medical student.. sometime he txt me sometimes he don't,,, he was like i feel bad since he dont have time to date.... i dont know what to do.. should i just let him go,,, i really like him :(
