I've been pondering this lately and I've come to a few conclusions:

You can be upfront and say, "Do you want to go to dinner/movie/etc?"

Or you can make it a c/f statement, "So, you should definitely go to this concert/movie/etc with me", then add,"it will be fun" (or something similar)

Feel free to criticize and add/change these lines- be as blunt and harsh as you want.
In my opinion I would think that the first would work better if you know them fairly well and have built a lot of rapport. However, the second doesn't put them on the spot as much, and can still yield the same results.

I'm fairly new to this, so any input would be very helpful.

You never ask them a question that leaves the power in her hands. The best PUA's would make the girl want to come to whatever event so she's now asking you if she can come!

I like to give a girl an open invitation.

Tell her that you are going to do something and that she can tag along
if she wants. If she doesn't or can't, you can't possibly be rejected
because technically you didn't ask her out.

As David D would say, stop asking women out.

Stay the hell away from movie dates in my opinion.. especially if it is the first date.. you want to TALK To her and get to know her, not sit an hour an half in silence.

As for asking the girl out, try something with some imagery that she can imagine

"Would you like to get dinner on Friday night" is OK, but could be better.

"Would you like to get some Thai food on Friday night" is even better. gives the girl something to imagine, so it will be a better response.

Another good one- if you know she is interested

"Are you hungry?
HB: no, not really.
"Good you can come watch me eat!"

Props are also to be considered. If you are at a bar or party and the HB is leaving, and you just number closed- heighten the anticipation- take off your necklace, or ring or whatever and say something like

"You aren't a theif are you?"
HB: no!
"Good, this is very special to me, and I want it back." (giving her whatever it is) it's like a little pact that you are going to call her and will take her out or whatever. These examples came from The Game, so I do not know if they have been exhausted or not. More importantly, pay attention to the point I got across using those words as oppose to memorizing and reciting them. Creating your own style is what a real PUA is anyway. Hope this helps. -Rye

Thanks guys, that helps a lot. I was going to ask this girl I know fairly well to go to a concert with me and I didn't know exactly which way would be the best, but now I've got some good ideas.
