How to Ask Someone on a Date 怎樣要求約會
Whether the other person is interested or not, you'll never know unless you ask. So gather up all your courage and follow these steps.
Steps:
1. Introduce yourself to that person you've been admiring from afar.
2. Get the person's telephone number, or tell a common friend you would like the number.
3. Call. Choose a time that is not intrusive. Call when you are comfortable doing so, regardless of what your friends might say about the right time to call.
4. Reintroduce yourself once you're on the phone by saying something like, "Hey, it's Shirley. We met at the drag strip."
5. Using as little pretense as possible (ideally none), ask the person if he or she would like to get together for a cup of coffee or do something similarly casual. If you are politely refused, take the hint and get off the phone.
6. Meet casually for a brief time - half an hour or so. If that goes well, suggest a more formal date, such as lunch.
7. Go on the more formal date.
Tips:
* Besides getting a cup of coffee, some of the best ideas for a date are the things you love to do the most, such as going to an art museum or getting muddy on a mountain bike ride. This gives the other person a chance to get to know more about your personality.
* Humor is often the best remedy for rejection. Congratulate yourself for trying and move on.
Warnings:
* Going to see a movie is not a very good idea for a date; it shows a lack of creativity and does not allow the two of you to spend much time talking.

How to Refuse a Date to Ensure Another Request 怎樣假拒絕約會
Sometimes circumstances are beyond your control. Here's how to refuse a date when you truly wish you could accept.
Steps:
1. Smile and make eye contact if the invitation is made in person.
2. Communicate your complete attention if the request is made by phone. Consider saying something like 'Excuse me while I close the door' or 'I was hoping you'd call.'
3. Express your thanks in whatever is genuine and comfortable for you - a joke, a simple thanks, a great big 'Wow!'
4. Communicate your regret at having to refuse, and explain why you need to decline the invitation.
5. Suggest another specific day, or express your general wish to find another time that works for both of you. A straightforward 'I can't this time because I have to go to Chicago, but I would love to make it another time. How's next Friday?' has candor to recommend it.
Tips:
* People look for acceptance, so be open and enthusiastic.
* If you simply say that you can't make it, the person may interpret that as a brush-off. Always provide an explanation.
* Be clear, candid and gracious.
Warnings:
* Asking someone out can be difficult, so make it as easy as possible for the other person

How to Refuse a Date to Ensure No More Requests 怎樣真拒絕約會
Unless you want to be asked out again by this person, be direct and leave no room for misinterpretation.
Steps:
1. Be clear, consistent and gracious in your refusal. Be politely neutral rather than emphatic.
2. Don't hesitate, procrastinate or ask to think about it.
3. Express regret, if you'd like, but never say anything you don't mean, such as, 'Maybe another time.'
4. Devise an impersonal, generic explanation if you prefer, such as, 'I never date co-workers' or 'I'm involved with someone else.' Otherwise, simply refuse the invitation with a polite 'Thank you for thinking of me. I'm sorry I'll have to say no.'
Tips:
* If a person persists in asking you out, just persist in being firm and clear. Sooner or later, you'll get the message across.
