How do you ask a girl out?

I ALWAYS wait for them to ask me out but they NEVER do. I was taught it was misogyny to "sexually harass" women by telling them they were beautiful and asking if they want to go on a date. Oh also when I tried asking directly in school as a kid every single time they would say they had a boyfriend. And then you'd find out they didn't actually.

@Jazzy_Butts in my experience asking random people you don't know "hello do you want to go on a date" is a very outdated idea and almost no girl will actually want to do that if you're a stranger to her. instead make friends with them and feel them out that way. if they're fucking annoying when you're trying to make friends then move on and find another one

if they're not annoying and you get along then it's not too hard to escalate the relationship if you want to

@grumpy Ok I'll make friends, only to get laid though, but if genuine friendship until someone also wants my dicc is the only path I am dedicated enough to walk it.
