I once asked a girl out 3 times.
I like to go bowling a lot,and I go to the same bowling alley twice a week.
Anyway,everytime I would go up there,I'd see a girl who worked up there over and over again. Although I was attracted to her,I didn't ask her out because I was already seeing someone at the time.
Then when my relationship ended,I think about...maybe 3 or 4 months later,I decided to appraoch her.
The first time I asked,she turned me down because she said she was already seeing someone.
I continued to go up there,and I'd see her from time to time,but I wouldn't speak to her. I might say,"Hey" or "What's up?",but that was it.
Then about 2 months later,I asked her out again,and she told me that she was still seeing the other person.
Then one day,maybe after another 2 months had passed.I was up there at the bowling alley bowling. I threw the ball,waited to see how many pins I'd hit,then when I turned around to walk back up to the ballreturn,I saw her staring at me.
She was just standing directly behind my area...just looking at me.
So when I noticed her staring at me,the first thing I said to myself was,"Uhh...why is she looking at me like that?". And to be honest,it kinda made me uncomfortable.
Now I had already asked her out twice,and she told me no both times,so I hadn't planned on asking her out again. So what did I do? I turned around,and continued bowling.
Then one time when I threw the ball,it got stuck,so I had to tell the people at the counter,and I would have to walk past her in order to tell them.
So I walked up to where she was,I yelled to the people at the counter that my ball was stuck,then I started talking to her. the convo went like this...
Me:Hey (her name),what's going on? So what you been up to?
her:Oh,nothin. Just workin hard. What are you up to?
ME:Just getting me some games in. So what's up with me and you? I mean,I haven't changed my mind yet,I still want to see you.
her:OK.
There,that's it. She said ok. Just flat out "ok". No "maybes",no "mights",no "I don't knows",just simply "OK". To be honest,I was shocked. I was just expecting her to say no again,only this time,I WASN'T GOING TO ASK HER OUT AGAIN.
It's kind of weird to get a direct answer from a woman. She just said flat out yes. When I called her,she answered the phone,and when I sat up the date,she showed up.
I agree with the other posters. You can ask a woman out twice,then call it quits,but I've gone beyond two times and been successful before.
