We were coworkers and it was my last day of work there. I told him that he would have to ask me out, though, and luckily he did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059921 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 20:13:00 +0000 ILoveLettie 2059921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Same. We met in college and were both broke, and dates weren't really thing on our tiny isolated residential campus: you were either casually hooking up, or someone asked you to be their girlfriend/boyfriend. "Dates"-mostly hanging out on campus or occasionally the movies--came after you were already official. We were friends first for a year so it felt like a very natural transition. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059886 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:34:52 +0000 artsyfartsy 2059886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. We were long time friends and we started hanging out more seriously after his mom died. He had a falling out with his best friend and needed someone. I was dating someone else but ended up calling it off for other reasons. </p> <p>We just started spending more and more time together as friends, then friends with benefits, then we made it serious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059881 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:30:53 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2059881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. He asked me out over MSN messenger when we were 15 lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059864 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:16:14 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2059864@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! And I drove 8 hours to the beach for our first date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059863 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:13:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2059863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had been hanging out in the same group of friends, started texting and hanging out. We did things together as friends before he asked me to be his girlfriend, so we never "dated" before dating each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059857 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 19:09:58 +0000 spaniellove 2059857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, and I'm not sure what I was thinking going on dates with him because I was also starting to date an old college friend at the same time which was a more serious thing. I ended up breaking up with the college friend to date him, it was all so wrong. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059850 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 18:58:02 +0000 hotchildinthecity 2059850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He asked me out, but we both were young and only interested in a summer fling. He had an apartment and I was living with my parents so it seemed like a no brainer. 2 years later we moved in together, and now we've been together nearly 12 years. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059832 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 18:38:07 +0000 yoursilverlining 2059832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I asked him out for drinks, but we were both clear with each other that we thought it would just be a no-strings-attached summer fling :silly: 8 years later..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059800 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 17:41:59 +0000 Astro Bee 2059800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We met through work, but didn't actually work together. A week or so later, we ended up having (what could have been) a one-night stand after a night out at a bar with our respective collegues. I had pretended to be his gf that evening to ward off a woman that was acting very predatorial towards him and one thing led to another. He asked me out for real the next day. We didn't live in the same city, so after our first date, he asked me out again and again. The logistics weren't easy living 2 1/2 hrs apart and only seeing each other on weekends, but in less than 3 yrs we were married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059795 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 17:37:48 +0000 Kimberlybee 2059795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH was and is an introvert but he's a great friend once he becomes your friend. We had mutual friends that gave us each other's phone numbers (this was during AOL and IRC chat room days). So we were phone friends for 5 or 6 months before we met because I was in the middle of a lengthy breakup. My ex didn't want things to end. DH was the easiest person to talk to at the time. He asked me out to dinner first where we met on a blind date. I asked him out for the 2nd meeting. This sounds creepy but I dreamed of being married to DH a few months in. We took it slow though and got engaged a few years later. So glad things worked out for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059794 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 17:36:44 +0000 MediaNaranja 2059794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Neither of us asked the other out. We just started to hang out, and went from there. The only kind of conversation we had was when I told him I wasn't looking for anything serious, LOL whoops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059792 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 17:31:52 +0000 littleblessings 2059792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes he did. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059787 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 17:22:47 +0000 Finfan 2059787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I asked him out. He was a customer at my work and I was leaving that job and moving out of town so I figured I had nothing to lose. It seems to have worked out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059364 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 08:41:02 +0000 mrsjyw 2059364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. We met at work and hung out a couple of times on group setting. Then he asked me out to dinner and a movie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059359 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 08:35:36 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 2059359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we had been hanging out casually in groups and he seemed hot and cold to me. I was glad when he made it clear by asking me to dinner. Later that night he explained why he wasn't in a place to get too serious- he was moving in a month. We dated anyway and long story short we're now married with a little boy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059339 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 08:07:00 +0000 pui 2059339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really... There wasn't really ever an asking out moment. I needed someone and DH suggested I come visit him (he lived 6 hours away at the time), so that's kinda like asking me out I guess lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059321 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 07:24:50 +0000 Charm54 2059321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really.... He's my BFFs brother so I've known him since I was 7.</p> <p>One summer in university I came back home and realized he was still in town....we just started spending a lot of time together until one thing led to another and it became clear we were an item. That was an awkward phone call to have to make to my BFF and tell her I was dating her brother..... Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059316 Sun, 08 Feb 2015 07:20:30 +0000 MrsKMM 2059316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I initiated a conversation (major introvert here, so it was surprising) and he asked me out. I said no at first because I was so nervous and hadn't expected him to be interested in me. Quickly changed my answer, we clicked immediately, and here we are, 8 years later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059210 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 23:29:03 +0000 MrsSCB 2059210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup! Well, he kind of tricked me into it, haha. He got a mutual friend to invite me bowling in a group of four. Then at the last minute the other two "mysteriously" canceled and my H asked me if I still wanted to go just the two of us. That was our first date. We were in high school. Otherwise I think it might not have been such an elaborate production :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059207 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 23:27:45 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2059207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. He pursued me for quite a while. He was very persistent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059187 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 23:07:18 +0000 photojane 2059187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! But we were best friends for a long time first. Then we started talking on the phone all night long. Then one day he finally me on a date. We were 17. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059186 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 23:06:24 +0000 mamimami 2059186@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, thank God! I am not into relational ambiguity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059180 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:58:04 +0000 simplyfelicity 2059180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! He had my number and called me up...three weeks after he asked for it, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059178 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:55:37 +0000 Synchronicity 2059178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so... we hung out as friends for a while first. I have trouble remembering! We were 16, I'm sure he did the best he could ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059177 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:53:39 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2059177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We met on a camping trip. We hit it off on the last night. I left early the next morning, but left my number. We called and talked nightly. Can't say much of actually dating, but we lived 4 hours apart and were only able to see each other on weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059162 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:35:59 +0000 Torchwood 2059162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sort of? We started out as friends with benefits, so it was rather vague where we stood. But at some point he started asking me on more "real" dates, and eventually he asked me to make it official that we were exclusive. So yes and no. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-ask-you-out#post-2059157 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:31:12 +0000 mrbee 2059157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bee and I first met in person for afternoon drinks for a random reason, but I quickly upgraded our outing to dinner and made my interest clear. Then I asked her out for a second date - not quite the same though, because by then we had hit it off.</p> <p>I am not interested in people all that often but when I am, I definitely prefer to just ask someone out. It's hard for me (introvert) but I find that it kind of simplifies things if one person expresses a clear interest. But when relationships start in friendships, it's not always that easy.</p> <p>Did your SO ask you out? </p>
