What are the best ways to ask someone of the opposite sex to hangout 1 on 1 without it sounding romantic?

I have this friend who I am incredibly close to. I want to ask her to hang out with me before spring break, mainly because we haven’t talked in a while. How do I go about it?

First off, don't listen to these twits here: I have guy friends whom I hang out, without any sexual or romantic implications.

Just tell her exactly what you told us; you miss hanging out with her and want to know if you can spend some time together. That's it. If she asks if it's a date, tell her NO. That way there's no confusion-

Don't make it anymore complicated than it needs to be.

It's hard, or can be. Because if you make it too clear it could be kinda insulting. Like ok, I get it. You wouldn't fuck me if I was the last girl on Earth. Geez.

But if you make it too ambiguous it could devolve into leading her on.

The best way is to have someone else or a few people come along also.

Don't do it if she has a boyfriend and you do that the boyfriend will be furious at you and you'll probably get beat up by him just saying!

You are trying to cultivate a possible romantic relationship without her being aware of your intentions?

Just ask her to lunch to "catch up", that gives it a friendship tip vibe. It's not like you would try to bang her at lunch.

[Wise4myage]

Asking her to lunch is a good idea.

How do I do that in a non-creepy/non-romantic way?
