There is this guy I’m interested in that’s on my soccer team. I don’t really know him that well, I can just chit chat a little bit with him after soccer practice but I want to get to know him better.
I have his Facebook page and his msn and phone number are there. I don’t want to call him or send him messages online because it looks too stalker-ish. The only time I have to see him in person is at these practices so I’ve considered sending him Facebook mail but I’m afraid it will come out as too silly/obvious.
Does anyone know of a good way to introduce myself and ask him out?

“Excuse me, can I have a date?”
These days it’s all about “talking” first. Comment on something he posts on facebook, then start a conversation, then get him to text you.
It’s a process… It’s stupid and childish, but it works.
I don’t think asking straight out for a date works, it might scare him off because he doesn’t know me.
I think I’ll try to comment on his Facebook posts but I still think that’s pretty obvious :/
No, with guys… trust me… you’ll get a lot more if you simply walk up and ask for it.
I’m a gay guy, I know what I like… and I walk up and ask for a date.
Worse case scenario… you don’t get a date.
I always liked it when the person interested in me was a bit obvious. I didn’t have to sit and worry before I asked them out. Of course too obvious is bad. Then again you didn’t mention that you wanted to run over at the end of a game, rip off your shirt and jump him sooo…
Hahaha, great responses. Ok I’ll start commenting on his Facebook to see if I get any feedback from him. I’ll work it out from there I think :)
Us guys are stupid… we do not take hints. Be direct.
I agree with @mowens. We (or at least, certainly I) are horrible with hints. Say it don’t spray it.
Agreed with everyone else in this thread. Give us hints and you’ll generally find yourself alone. Come out with it and it’s much easier for us to make the moves.
Question to everyone though… does being so up front and obvious ruin the “sexual tension” or mystery… ? Is it better to be a bit flirtatious first..?
You can be upfront… and flirtatious at the same time… it’s all in your tone of voice, and how you touch the other person.
Touching is essential. Don’t do creepy touching either. Touch their arm, or their shoulder. Something like that…. also… don’t hoold it there forever. that creates tension.
