-- Posted by Anonymous at 7:36 am on Aug. 30, 2008 This girl and I've hung out a couple of times before (gotten dinner at a burger joint, saw a movie together) under friendly circumstances. But I want to let her know that I like her and want to date her. So the next time I ask her out, should I throw in the word "date" in there? Or do I still have to keep playing games? -- Posted by audrey820 at 7:37 am on Aug. 30, 2008 Ask her on a date and take her somewhere other than a burger joint. I think the second part of that is the more important advice. -- Posted by EmmitWinchell at 7:38 am on Aug. 30, 2008 use the word -- Posted by envythesin at 7:45 am on Aug. 30, 2008 tell her you like her and you'd like to see if there could be anythihng between you two. -- Posted by erolimo at 2:59 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 Make sure she knows it is a date. Else, she will feel betrayed and upset when she learns you are using her friendship to be with her romantically. -- Posted by californiaboy at 4:47 pm on Aug. 30, 2008 Well I mean a movie is a pretty classic DATE. If it was just the two of you then its getting close. If you paid then it definitely was. I wouldn't say I 'like' you though. That's very middle school and will scare a lot of college girls away. Just ask her out to dinner. And if she says 'like a date?' Say 'call it what you will.'
