4. “Please just show up.” Giving an ambiguous invitation.
“I’m not sure if she needs me just to meet headcount requirements or if she’s wanting to go on a date… There are too many unknowns and I can’t make up my mind,” a confused young man in his late teens tells us. Your invitation is too vague, and the whole purpose of asking him out on a date is lost somewhere. Especially if he hasn’t seen you as a love interest, your vague request is too confusing and leaves too much room for interpretation. You should at least make it a point to tell him that you like him.
