Asking out advice Anonymous 03/03/15 (Tue) 00:55:59 c39f3f No.254

tl;dr: read only the first and last paragraph.

I want to ask a girl out, but I don't know how to go about it. I'm an exchange student in Japan.

I'm awkward and tend towards inaction in uncertainty. I know little of Japanese dating culture (not that I know much about western dating culture either), I'm bad at improvisation, and I don't know much about her schedule.

I only have her facebook account. I would say there's a 75% chance I see her again on March 15th. I expect to hang out with her male friends on March 8th, who could offer advice. March 14th is the local equivalent of Valentine's day (called White Day).

I wouldn't like to miss White Day, but asking her out on facebook seems lame. That may just be the procrastination talking, though. I also don't tend to chat with people, so I don't know how well I would do just chatting with her online.

So, questions:
1. Should I try chatting with her on facebook?
2. Should I ask her out on facebook (or wait until the 15th)?
3. Should I wait until after talking to her friends?

Talk to her friends due to culture differences, but flirt with her in the meantime. Plan for the bad, expect the good.

>flirt in the meantime
On facebook? With words!? Pic related.

I have never flirted and only vaguely and theoretically know what it entails. Would a text version of normal conversation with one or two posts per day be an acceptable substitute? If not, what elements would that be missing?

Another thing I'm worried about is that if I do act on (your) advice, it could be disingenuous/deceptive. I wouldn't flirt on facebook on my own accord so I'm pretending I'm the kind of person who would flirt on facebook.

Also, my facebook account right now is bare bones (no profile pic, no interests, etc.). I don't like giving Zuckerberg my data, so how important is it that my page looks nice?

That might have been a bit curt, sorry.

I've followed America-sempai's advice, and her friend said that asking her out on facebook was fine. I've tried to 'flirt', and feel awkward as hell. "I hope they're as much fun to be around as you", really, past me?

Anyway, I've got three choices lined up:

1. Science museum: Indoors (30% chance of rain), city center (so close to other facilities - TV tower, restaurants, etc.), planetarium (hopefully romantic). Problem is that it could be crowded, which she doesn't like.

2. Park: gardens, tea room, ferris wheel, has more opportunities to talk. Probably not crowded. But it's far from the center and there's nothing to do if it's raining.

3. Zoo. The middle option. No clear romantic spots, but animals are fun. Unsure if crowded.
