I want to ask someone out. Someone I won't see in person any time soon to be able to ask. I... um. I don't have her email. Asking someone out in a comment seems lame. Advice?

I've never actually, with intent, asked someone out on a date. I'm nervous.

In conclusion, my cat is making wheezy-sneezy noises.

I've never... I think I have been on, like, one official date. I know there are people who formally date (one of my sisters in particular) and stuff, but I tend to... erm... 'fall into' people. And I just want to go reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally slow and I think a formal date is the perfect option.

People don't date there? Where is that? Your workplace, your community, your country? I'm curious!

Lol, by "here" I mean France. I mean, it's not to say we don't go out with people or anything but there's no system or word for it. You meet people wherever, you hook up, there's a chance no actual "dating" will happen until after you're already together. And if someone asks you out for a drink, since we have no word or system, you never know whether it's a "date" or just someone asking you out for a drink because they're going out and you make for good company. Which also means that blind dating is a foreign concept here entirely, lol.

Huh, really? That's really more the way most of my friends are, but I know that there is a more formalized date culture out there (at least in the States).

Blind dates are the worst idea EVER, in my opinion. I'm pretty good with conversation, but talk about the way to put tons of pressure on someone. Oh, the other worst idea ever? Dating TV shows. I mean jeez.
