Default Hitting on someone

Have you ever just asked out a random stranger. There is this really cute guy at Starbucks, he works there and I think he might be bi or straight...I wanna just ask him out....have any of you ever done something like that?

Personally I think asking out a random stranger is kinda... umm.. risky. Get to know him a little at least. You might scare him away if you randomly go up to him and ask him to go out with you

Hahaha, agreed!

But to answer that question, I think it would really be quite strange for the guy you'd be asking, and maybe even creepy if he's not gay or bi. You could strike up a conversation and ask when his break times are and stuff like that.

Try going to that starbucks everyday and sees if he remembers you! Good luck!

i say do it.

but then again, my life motto is "live risky".
I asked the captain of the swim team out in high school.
he wasn't ready to come out though, but he never actually said no.

and we're still friends. and he totally flirts with me.
so maybe one day, at least he knows i'm interested. ;x

but seriously, whats the worst he could do?
look at you weird when you come in for your
[insert drink here] ? if thats the case, it's not hard to find another starbucks. ;x

A good think to do would be to comment on a girl,while making a conversation...He probably won't tell you the truth,but you will recognize it from the tone of his voice...

Nothing wrong with asking him out on a date. That is how you get to know people, isn't it?

If that was true, half my high school form should have realised I was gay...

Just talk.

That way it can be a date OR just a couple of buddies going out for a film
