Did you mess up your lines afterwards

Joey_007 · Accepted Answer

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 · Accepted Answer

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

PeacefulRainDrop · Accepted Answer

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 · Accepted Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

Mofunfour20 · Answer

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.

HawkPerception · Answer

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".

slatyb · Answer

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.

Lionman95 · Answer

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.

ChiTown33 · Answer

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

Riebeck · Answer

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

devilish-cutie · Answer

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

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

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

NathanDavis · Answer

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

JUST1NC · Answer

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

Miristheiss · Answer

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

genericname85 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

fonduegirl · Answer

No, everyone knows I work better under pressure. You can ask my man. @sensible27

REALSTEEL · Answer

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 · Answer

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

NotYourAverageJoe · Answer

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

collie22 · Answer

i've done that cause i need to hear it but not really in front of a mirror like that

blondfrog · Answer

If you do that you are setting yourself up for failure.

WhiteWolf69 · Answer

No. I get nervous and intimidated by women anyway in that situation. I usually just ask them out while trying to hide my fear and nervous feelings.

SpaceGalaxy · Answer

I promised myself NOT to ask her for anal sex on our first date but i messed up and couldn't keep my freakin mouth shut! And NO, i did not get lucky

krin_m · Answer

I don't think there is anything to rehearse. I just plain ask, "Would you go out on a date with me?".

Pogi-Paddy-2 · Answer

No I don't rehearse anything before going on a date.

Joshua0213 · Answer

Nah if I mess it up either she doesn't care or it wasn't meant to be

shiril · Answer

No need to rehearse as it is going to be genuine, natural interaction/ expression, I think.

yupyupyuppers · Answer

Yes before but now I take away the date label so I can just relax and hang out with someone new

bagarBilla · Answer

No that will be scripted, what is someone dont ask / respond they way we expect?

Jmmmfi4 · Answer

Ph definitely. Happened to me just this morning. Kind of.
