Not sure how to ask out that special guy or girl? Perhaps this will help. In a recent thread on Reddit, users discussed the coolest way someone has asked them out. Here are a few of the highlights. Singles, take note!

“Worked in a bagel shop. Was running register on a busy day. Female places order with a long line behind her. Me: ‘Can I get you anything else?’ Her: ‘Yes, your number. Can't say no in front of all those people.’ Number given and we are now married.” – chaucer789

“Just the other day at work, a girl walks up to my buddy's register and says ‘What's your girlfriend's name?’
‘What do you mean?’
‘What's your girlfriend's name?’
‘Oh, I don't have a girlfriend.’
Slaps business card down on the counter. ‘Good, so than you can call me sometime.’” – guitarpick8120

“Mission Impossible style.

A guy that knew my cousin asked me out to get ice cream. I said I would meet him there. I get there and waited for a few minutes when a little kid walks in, hands me a tape player with 3 balloons. Red, yellow, and green. When I played the tape it said singing like:

‘Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to accept my invitation to a day of...’ on and on about going mini golfing and having lunch. The final instructions were to walk outside and release one balloon. Red for no, yellow for maybe, green for yes.

I of course released the green balloon. He was on a hill a ways away with some binoculars. When he saw the ballon, the same little kids came back and handed me the address of the mini golf place.

Fun date :)” – panda_xoxo

“We were sat in the library studying together, decided to play a game of hangman. He wrote _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ and the topic was 'miscellaneous'. Ended up saying ‘Will you go out with me’

I responded with _ _ as a joke to make him think I was going to say no. The answer was 'ok' (: “- cfrn

“In high school, there was a dance. This was my very first high school dance. The boy I had a crush on decided to ask me with a bouquet of vegetables because he thought it was cool I was a vegetarian. I thought it was absolutely adorable.” – highhosilver

“When my mom was 14 she lived in NYC and took a bus 25 blocks to school.

One day it was pouring rain and as she ran to the bus it drove away without stopping for her. A car stopped right in front of her, rolled down the window and a 17 year old from her high school asked if she wanted a ride to school.

Him being hot and her being young she hopped in and instead of school he took her to breakfast and they skipped the school day together. She found out at their wedding 4 years later that he'd paid the bus driver $20 to skip her stop that day so he could ask her out!” – scriptbird

“The guy I had friend zoned in high school left a rose with everyone one of my teachers on my 16th birthday. Every class I walked into I got another flower. In the class we had together he gave my gift (shirt and perfume) and told me to expect more. By the last period, I was so used to getting a flower that I just walked in asking my teacher for it. She played dumb and told me there was nothing for me. 10 minutes before school got out he walked into my class followed by his teacher and his whole class and asked me to be his girlfriend in front of 60+ people. I had to say yes and glad I did. We are now married.” – malaia

“Me and my crush in high school had started a list of similarities between us because it was almost freaky how alike we were. We got to 49 and it kinda dropped off for a bit.

Then, one day after I led the marching band in a parade and we were climbing back on the bus, a friend told me to get off. Curious, I did, and there was my guy standing there, out of breath (he couldn't find parking because of the parade, then finally did and ran along the whole thing looking for us). He was holding a hot chocolate, which was a thing of ours, and on the top of the lid was written: ‘#50: we're dating?’

We kissed, and I said yes. Got back on the bus with a chorus of "AWWWW"s... Absolutely adorable.” - missmariss
