Asking out, ways to ask? Options

[rushx]

hMm.. just a curious thot.. so i sit here thinking, w/ a gurl in mind that i would like to ask to be my gf. but how to present it to her.. this is where experiences for u guys comes in (guy or gurl doesn't matter) just wondering wat the different ways are to do it versus just blurting it out then saying "ok." come on now.. that's not memorable is it? so i ask of u, wat ways have worked?

i asked my current girlfriend out online. her friends advised her to dcline if i did that, but accept if i asked her over the phone or in person. they prophesized that it would cause problems later on, but really, it doesnt matter. you could compare it to getting a car started. you can use the ignition or hotwire the thing. asking a girl out by saying to her face, in all your vulnerability and cautiousness, "would you go out with me" takes some balls. i know i certianly dont have them. at least to that extent. thats why i asked her online. it had a lot to do with that was how i was communicating with her at that instant and how i was feeling at that time, but i dont think i could have asked her in person. maybe over the phone. the point is, it really makes no difference. whatever gets the relationship rolling. once you jump that hurdle, its (theoretically smoothe sailing from there). but for what to say?
a) would you go out with me?
b) (my retarded way) wanna be a couple?
choice b worked because it fit in with the conversation. just do whatever gets the point across and doesnt sound too cliche. make sure it fits.
