It is hard to gracefully refuse an offer such as:
	"Would you like to go out sometime."

If you are asking someone out on a date, I recommend that you
suggest a specific day and/or a specific activity.  Then if
the activity or day does not appeal to the person, the person 
can suggest an alternate date or activity.  If the person does 
not want to go out with you, then it is easy for the person to 
say no.  I realize the person asking is not looking for a no.
But isn't a "no" better than a lousy time.
