I gotta tell her i have a crush on you, and i wanna know you a little bit better, then a few weeks later i can plan a date.
i'll give you my 2-cents about the whole idea.. and ladies.. please feel free to bombard with follow-up comments..
when you tell a girl you just met and happen to like.. "I have a crush on you, so i'd like to get to know you better.. how bout a movie date later on during the week"? it translates into something totally different..
think about this for a second.. put yourself in her shoes.. (it's totally different).. she has no idea how you feel.. and she may not even like you.. so.. all of a sudden.. someone comes up to you and tells you that they have a crush on you.. what is the first thing that fires through your mind?
"he likes me? a crush on me? what does that even mean? he doesn't even know me! so what does he like exactly? oh! he likes how I look. eww.. I know what he's thinking then... umm.. no! how do I escape this.." before you know it.. like vash said.. you've thrown the girl into a panic..
the last thing you want to do.. even when you both grow up and are more mature about the whole dating thing.. you don't want to say something like that right off the bat..
learn to be indirect.. (indirect)!!! there's alot more you're saying to a girl when you say "are you doing anything on the weekend? me and so&so are going to see this movie if you wanna come".. you imply and suggest plenty about the way you feel.. and yet, nothing is 100% certain, so it preserved the mystery needed to keep tension high and her interest in you going..
I know.. I know.. you want a date alone.. not with other people.. simple.. (so & so couldn't make it..) well, what do you know.. now it's just you and her.. problem solved.. (bonus? yeah.. she might have not even come if you told her it was going to be just you and her.. because of fear.. so in a way.. you may have to trick her.. but it'll give you a chance to let her feel comfortable around you, and then go out for something to eat later, joke around about the movie "preferably a romantic comedy".. not a good idea to see anything else if it's your first time..)
so.. moral of the story.. start being indirect.. smooth.. and when you're alone.. try to think about the hidden meanings of indirect messages you're sending.. the question should be.. "how can I say I like you.. without saying I like you"? if you learn to do this.. you're all set..
