So there is this guy I sort of know and he's a friend of a friend and I am wondering if I should date him just to get to know him better. I am wondering if it should be a hang out or a date. I'm worried that it might be weird because I don't know him that well and that I'm not his type or etc. I am not fully interested in him but I think dating him or spending time with him would help with knowing if I could potentially date him or if I'm interested in him. Should I just approach him as hey do you want to go to lunch or etc?
You could well take the direct approach, there's nothing wrong with that. Having said that, as you're not 100% sure whether either of you are interested in each other yet - could you think of a way you could get to know him a little better first? Maybe invite him out with a group of your friends, as he's already friends with one of them? That way you might get a better feel for his personality. Or is that a big no-no? If you want to just go ahead and ask him out on a date though, you should go for it. You never know!
I agree with the person above me! If you are not sure what you think of him it is better to just hang out in a group setting first. If you become intrested in him during those casual times you should ask him out! Has he shown any intrest in you?
