So, while I'm getting used to the gay way of life now, I haven't really been out on a gay date yet. I've been thinking about taking the plunge and asking out my crush. Problem is: I've never asked another guy out before. I'm really nervious any tips?:icon_redf
"Hey, I was wondering if you'd like to maybe grab a coffee together sometime?" Try to keep the trembling from registering on the Richter Scale as you do it. Old man levels of trembling can sometimes be cute, but confidence is usually much more attractive.
Yes - just keep it simple. It doesn't have to be elabourate. Just ask them if they'd like to get together some time for a coffee. See where that goes.
Like everyone else has said, just ask him if he'd like to casually hang out sometime. You don't need to call it a "date."
I'd fourth the "just hang out" idea. You could just grab a coffee, or if you know there's something you both enjoy doing, you could agree to do that together, without really calling it a date. That way there's really no pressure. If you have a great time, then other opportunities will arise naturally.
