Is 12 days too early in advance to ask a date?

I have it in my head to ask a girl at school to come to a concert with me a week from Saturday. Is “soon” too early to ask?

On the plus side, I have less apprehension about whether she’ll agree to it or not

On the negative side, the waiting period before a date can be rather awkward, yes? Especially 10-12 days-worth

What do you guys think?

Sounds reasonable to me.

That way, if she says no, you would have plenty of time to ask someone else if you so desire.

You should ask as soon as possible. That way, she would have the time locked up with you, and won’t make other plans.

Yeah, I say go for it, too. As for the awkward wait, maybe you could get together for lunch or coffee or something in the meantime, just to keep the connection warm.

I agree. Ask now so she won’t make other plans.

Twelve days would be a bit early for a nebulous “you wanna go out sometime” date (at least for me), but since there’s a particular event you have in mind, better ask sooner than later. You’d kick yourself if she ended up with other plans…especially if said plans had her going to the same concert with somebody else!

If it were just a small show at a local club, I’d think 12 days was a bit early, but the bigger the concert, the earlier you should ask, particularly if the time or location would require her to make large adjustments to her regular schedule.

I say quit screwing around and ask her out for a date, for like say, day after tomorrow?

You know you want to.

Then when she agrees and the date is going well, you can ask if she’d like to go to the concert.

I hope I’m not reading too much into this but it sounds remotely like you feel you have to go “way out” to get this chick to go out with you.

You don’t need to do that. (at least not yet) A normal date should be fine. Actually if it’s a first date, a concert wouldn’t be alll that great an idea.

First dates; you need time to talk and get to know each other. A loud ass concert; you’re just not going to have the oppertunity to do that.

Again, I’m just interjecting here. I could be way off base. Just my two cents.

Look at it this way- you won’t gain anything by waiting. Ask now before something else comes up. The idea of a date first isn’t bad either.

Am I the only one who mis-read the title of this thread and thought “12 days old is a little young to be thinking about dating at all?” :eek: :smack: :smiley:
