I am sure that I am not the only guy to whom this has happened. I was a nervous wreck when I asked, my now girlfriend, out for the first time as a date. We hung out before but you know just considered it to be hanging out not a date. Well, after I asked her my heart was beating 1000 times faster for the whole next day. Right after I asked her and when she said yes I couldn't talk. Needless to say this was the first time I ever asked a girl out so it was very nerve wrecking.
What was your experience when someone asked you out or you asked someone out?

I was so nervous that my current girlfriend would say no when I asked her out that I made her best friend ask her if she liked me first. When I heard she did I was a little more at ease in asking her. BTW I asked her out over MSN Messenger haha! But over 5 years later of dating her I regret nothing.

Still kinda sad you guys had to break it off. But you asked her over MSN, DUDE that is like like I dont even have the words to say what that is like. I mean yeah I asked mine over the phone but still dude over MSN.
If you dont mind me asking, why did you guys break it off so that I can avoid ending up in that situation. But nevertheless its good that you dont regret anything in the relationship.

I should have been more clear I suppose. We are actually still together after 5 years (probably will ask her to marry me soon). But, as for your question, I'm not sure one could really ever 'prevent' a breakup though.

Well we both don't want to wait until we're "old" to get married. So I guess in a way she is expecting and engagement but she has no idea when. I think it will really surprise her though. She is into weddings and all that stuff but isn't demanding anything out of me. She knows that you can't make someone want to marry you, they have to figure it out on there own.

Oh man.. dude we are both the same. My whole first relationship with a girl was when i was 16.. and now I'm 17.. It's like a romantic comedy filled with a lot of laughs.
Like you i was nervous when i ask my girlfriend on dates and even when I'm hanging out with her I'm nervous. especially wherein that point that the girl hugs yo spontaneously my heart beats so fast that my girl friend goes "Are you okay?" then I'll say with a stuttering tone "Yyy-- eah" then she'll say "Your hearts beating so fast" lol I can remember it pretty well. My girl friend was even the one who Frenched me when we first went out on valentines day.. I even laughed .. and she teached me.. I know I'm not the typical smooth guy that hugs and kisses girls.. I'm more of like the boy next door guy.. who knows nothing about physicaly handling girls :|
hope this helps man!
YOU ARE NOT ALONE :)

I wasn't very nervous at all because she asked me. I was nervous before the date when I had to go and pick her up though. I was a little late to and the whole thing almost fell apart. it wasn't all my fault because I had to drive to a different city and had no idea that the traffic would slow me down as it did. Anyway, I got a second chance and the whole thing worked out. Been over 10 years now.

WOW!!!! 10 years. You are one lucky guy. First she asked you that has to make things a whole lot easier. I can understand the whole nervous before the first date thing. I know what you mean. It must have felt like forever when the traffic slowed you down though? You know what good thing she did give you that second chance. Looks like it did work out.
