Dude, YES MEANS YES!
You gave up on someone who agreed to go out with you three times because you had to do the asking?
There’s an old saying, “What do you want, an engraved invitation?”
I wouldn’t let this get in your way at the beginning of a relationship. People are raised in different ways and have different approaches to this kind of thing.
Besides which, we’re all pretty sure that the girl we’re talking about in the current thread told you where she wanted to be taken. It was just up to you to pick a time and ask her. That’s pretty much mutual, I think.
In the bleep?
(Um, sorry. It was just something about the way you phrased that.)
If you all were in a well established, committed relationship sure. But seeing how this is just starting out, just go ahead and be the one that steps up. It’s what society has taught us.
No biggie… For now anyway.
Ok I;m going to send a text tonight suggesting something for friday evening and see what happens
Why do you have to wait until “tonight”? You seem to have plenty of time to keep us updated on the myriad of complications involved in this moon mission including just now. You could just bite the bullet and send her a message…now.
That is because she is not a woman. She is an enchilada in search of sauce. I guess you didn’t take sex-ed.
Yesterday it was “tomorrow”, today it’s “tonight”. Tonight it will be “later tonight”. Then it will get too late so you’ll decide to do it “tomorrow morning”.
Procrastination. Takes one to know one 
Do. It. NOW.
I would like to eat my dinner and then come up with a outing idea,
You’re getting a signed/notarized contract from the start and adding witnessed addenda as appropriate as things progress, right? Otherwise anything could happen.
We know, it is always something and probably always will be. Just to let you know, it is traditionally rude to ask a girl for a date for the upcoming weekend, especially Friday night, past mid-afternoon on Wednesday. It presumes that they don’t have anything lined up already so you are already late. Big Al is not pleased with your refusal to cooperate with these…suggestions.
Good luck, we’re all counting on you.
It’s like if someone told you that they ran a really good hotdog stand and wanted you to drop by but every time you went, they were either not there or they were all out of hotdogs and wouldn’t even tell you when they were going to have more. Would you keep going even if they promised you a free chili dog if you came back again? You run run just that type of hotdog stand.
so that means I shouldn’t call right?
If your real goal is to completely fail at dating for the next few years with her and everyone else then sure, that is exactly what you should do.
If you don’t want to do that, why are you writing us now? A simple message or phone call takes less much less time than you just spent telling us why you can’t do it than actually doing it.
I think I hear your mother calling you for dinner. You have my sympathies. It must be terrible being on a carefully dictated schedule like that.
Yes. Yes, that’s exactly what it means. Every single portent, sign, indicator, hint, and implication means you shouldn’t call. There is no point in calling. Decision made.
Now you can relax safe and guiltless in the knowledge that the reason you didn’t call wasn’t that you are afraid of rejection, but for totally legitimate reasons. You can relax now. You’re a winner.
I think you’re mistaking me for msmith537. 
someone said it was rude to ask her out for this weekend this late in the week. So does that mean I should ask her out for next weekend?
BTW: I was attempting to ask her out this week on monday but that;s when I got the her weekends are usually busy so let’s play it by ear
You are being insufferable and self-defeating to a pathological and pathetic degree. I am the one that said it was rude to ask women out past mid-week for a Friday date but it isn’t a hard cutoff. However, that doesn’t mean you can wait a day or even an hour. You seem to have a fundamental comprehension problem. Numerous people are telling you to do it NOW as in right now.
It isn’t acceptable to ask her next week. That is almost certainly too late if it isn’t already.
Send a message or call now and then write back when you have done it but not before. We will be waiting to hear the confirmation that you actually followed through. Half an hour from now should be plenty of time to hear the word that you at least tried.
The clock starts now.
Real time dating coaching. This is fun. I have popcorn. 7 minutes gone.
