I've done this myself and many other men have, but I hear sometimes people ask a woman out to a group event. Like, "Hey, me and my friends are going to this concert in the park this Fri night. If you're interested, feel free to join us"
Then when spending time with each other there, you can ask her out on a private date.
I think this is becoming more common and allows it to be more organic...less pressure.
Sometimes I wonder if this is even a good idea? Yes? No? Some refer to this as a "group date".
I have been asked out in this way, and I didn't show up. Just felt uncomfortable showing up to a group event by myself when it was a group of people I didn't know. I also felt like being asked out in that manner, my "date" didn't care if I showed up or not. So I didn't.

Funny you mention this, because there are mixed reviews regarding this. Some prefer to ask a woman out in this fashion due to the fact that there's less pressure...the fact that the person "cared' or not didn't enter their minds, but it makes me wonder why would it enter yours?

Just say you are going to x event or that you are going to x library on x hours and x day, and ask her if she wants to come along. She's been hit on by men since she was 15 years old, she knows you are interested in wanting a date with her. She will either say yes, or she will say she can't, that she has to be someplace else/meet someone/knit a sweater for her favorite worldcup team, something like that.

When I was single, this is what I wanted a guy who was interested in dating me to do.

I'm not sure I understand your question, but if my so-called date didn't care if I showed up or not, why would I bother showing up to an event with him and a group of his friends?
Also I don't understand the concern about pressure. What type of pressure?

Do you feel this way because the guy is not directly asking you out?
Do you feel this way because if he does not directly ask you our, it is not a date in your mind?
What is your reasoning behind your reply?
