Did you rehearse what to say before you ask your date out?

[Chikky]

Did you mess up your lines afterwards

[Joey_007]

It's better to go unprepared I do write down retorts (I've got a whole list) just in case but it's just better to have bullet points instead of preparing and rehearsing even if you prepare you're going to be forced to improvise I have done it (rehearsed...) and she hit me with a simple "I can't" and my dumbass just said okay and walked away no one ever just says yeah sure especially if you're punching in your weight class it's a weird thing we all overthink there's a reason why people tip toe around it with things like flirtation and seduction 🤮

[Supernormal]

Yes. But i also prefer to have it flowing spontaneously, i tend to be adventurous

[PeacefulRainDrop]

No I use to now I dont it actually made me more nervous and mess up more.. when you just realize you want to be with someone abd just ask them without rehearsing anything things come out a lot smoother... I find anyway.. you know what you want to accomplish so go for it..

[Cynicaldreamer]

Oh yeah. I run it through my head, or practice saying it over and over again so I don't say something stupid or stutter too much.

It still never comes out perfectly, lol. Obviously I need more practice, because I've yet to successfully ask a guy out.

It took me two days to work up the courage to call my future wife. I had a whole speech worked out in my mind. I didn't get to use it because she told me she was moving away. We met again about a month later and I sat her down and went through the whole speech from soup to nuts. It was classic.

[GunnzzNRoses]

I tried rehearsal as a high school aged teen, but it never works out. Butterflies have a tendency to erase what you've memorized, leaving you blank and dumbfounded, and from the perspective of your prospective partner, creepy. It's best to wing it, that's the only way to improve your natural abilities.

[TurboKid]

Never been the type to do that although I have been guilty of flexing in front of the mirror and doing a light workout to look pumped before the date. :-D

I don't understand the point of rehearsing lines because, unlike a play (I have performed in plays before where I did practice lines), I don't know what she's going to say in response. So I don't like to be that prepared because I might prepare for the wrong thing.

[TurboKid]

It's like I'd be more comfortable performing in a play where we had no lines and had to improvise anything. The worst-case scenario would be when we had lines but someone went off the script. That's the most nerve-wracking scenario. So I just preferred pure improv for dates.

[...] improve [/everything] [...]

[Mofunfour20]

Id feel like i would be cheating myself out of establishing a genuine first impression if im gonna use a pickup line. It would imply that I think every woman is the same and would react similarly. I prefer to infer to the setting we're in.

[slatyb]

I used to, but not anymore. After you do it a few times all the stress disappears. Either she's attracted or she isn't The exact wording won't make a difference.

[HawkPerception]

Lol definitely not. Why should I have to go to a date preparing for it like an interview? My potential partner would definitely prefer a less refined and more genuine "me".

[Lionman95]

I rehearse what I wanna say before dates but also meetings I consider important because I´m not good at finding good words to say spontaneously.

[Riebeck]

Rehearse? No. Think about it for days on end only to end up not asking her? Countless times.

[devilish-cutie]

Yes, but i usually do it via message as it gives the peraon time to think etc. N its less awkward

[ChrisMaster69]

She asked me out.
I use the word ask, in that there is an assumption I actually had a choice.

[NathanDavis]

lol... no, I rather live in the moment, and expect the unexpected, that's more genuine.

[ChiTown33]

Nah, I like to be just as surprised as her at what comes out of my mouth.

[JUST1NC]

That's funny you think I have the confidence to ask someone out lol

[Miristheiss]

Probably in high school I did that a couple of times because I was more uptight and nervous then.

[genericname85]

no. i generally don't do that. i will fuck it up anyway, so i might as well just wing it and at least seem authentic while getting rejected xD

[IndieScent]

Any time I tried to rehearse I'd overthink things and either mess it up or do nothing. It's better just to roll with it and go with your gut.

[anon1903]

No, everyone knows I work better under pressure.


You can ask my man. @sensible27

[sensible27]

*fearfully vouches for her*

Yes yes, whatever the master says..

; )

[anon1903]

😉😉😉

[FlySwimmer]

#Relationship goals xD

[REALSTEEL]

I'm to shy to ask the time I build up the courage to as k I have heart burn so bad I can pass out

[TacosRAwesome]

No because that means thinking and thinking leads to chickening out.

[NotYourAverageJoe]

Uh definitely I'm a big nerd but I'm still athletic... doesn't mean I don't get shy around girls or blush AND IM Hawaiian and black H
SO HOW TF DID SHE TELL I WAS BLUSHING
