I really like this person but I am not sure they are interested. How can I convince them to go out with me?

Most people have difficulty asking people out at some stage in their lives, even those people who you think are really confident. The only way to find out if somebody wants to go out with you is to ask. Some people have their friends do the asking for them, some people send a note, electronic message, and/or a present and some just go up and ask. Whatever you decide to do, you’ll never know what they think or feel if you don’t ask.

It is also important to remember to respect and feel comfortable with their decision – whether they choose to go out with you or not. If they say ‘no’, remember there will be others who will say ‘yes’.
