Steps
步骤
Step 1: Decide where
1.决定约会地点
Decide beforehand where you want to take her, if you’re lucky enough to get the date. To a fancy restaurant? A movie? Something more original? If possible, choose something that appeals to her interests.
如果你能很幸运地约到她，在你们出去之前要决定约会的地点。家浪漫的餐厅？看电影？还是做些其他有创意的活动？如果可能，要选一些能吸引她兴趣的事情。
Step 2: Look your best
2.注重外表
Look your best. You don’t have to be Brad Pitt to get a date, but it will help if you’re well groomed.
要打扮得很帅。你不必像布拉德·皮特那样去约会，但是如果你打扮得很精神，这对你是有帮助的。
Wear clothes you feel comfortable in. Now is not the time to experiment with a whole new look that may make you feel self-conscious or awkward.
穿你感觉舒适的衣服。现在还不是尝试全新外表的时候，而且那样做会让你感到紧张或尴尬。
Step 3: Pick your moment
3.把握时机
Pick your moment. Asking a girl for a date when she’s rushed or with other people may torpedo your chances. Wait until it’s just you two and you’re not likely to be interrupted.
把握时机。当她很匆忙或是和其他人在一起的时候，向她提出约会邀请可能会让你错失机会。耐心等待直到只有你们两个人的时候，那时你说话不会被别人打断。
Step 4: Be yourself
4.做你自己
Be yourself. A sincere geek comes across far better than a guy doing a poor imitation of James Bond.
要做你自己。一个真实的男孩要远比一个模仿詹姆斯·邦德却搞砸了的人强得多。
If you wear cologne, go easy on it: You want to date her, not knock her out.
如果你要用古龙水，要悠着点。你想和她约会，而不是想要她昏迷。
Step 5: Compliment her
5.称赞对方
When it’s time to make your move, begin by paying her a compliment. She’ll feel good about herself and look kindly on you. But be sincere—no one likes to be patronized.
到你该行动的时候，先要称赞她。她会自我感觉良好，并对你友善。然后要真诚——没人喜欢被以高人一等的态度对待。
A funny comment can lighten the mood—just make sure it’s not at her expense! Everyone likes someone who can make them laugh.
一个有趣的话语会使心情高兴起来——但要确保不是以挖苦对方为代价。大家都喜欢让他们开心的人。
Step 6: Ask her out
6.约她出去
Take the plunge and ask her out. Nervous? Remind yourself that she can only say “yes” or “no.”
一番考虑后要果断行动，去约她。还是紧张？要提醒你自己，她只有两个答案：答应或拒绝。
Step 7: If she says no
7.如果她不答应
If she says no, don’t take it personally. You’re not attracted to everyone either, right? Plus, her rejection may have nothing to do with you.
如果她不答应，不要为此而烦恼。你不可能让每个人都对你感兴趣，对吧？而且她的拒绝可能和你自身没有关系。
Step 8: If she says yes
8.如果她答应你的邀请
If she says yes, set a date and time immediately. Now go home and get ready for your date. And whatever you do, don’t be late!
如果她答应你的邀请，要马上定好约会及约会时间。现在回家去准备约会。无论你做什么，千万别迟到。
The average single person will go on at least 100 dates in his or her lifetime.
普通单身人士一生平均将进行至少100次约会。
