Yes, what does the net think of asking people out
in public?  (where "asking out" refers to asking for
the first date, or marriage, or some other major step
in a relationship, not just a 'everyday' date with
your regular SO)

I prefer to ask (and be asked) in private, rather than in
public.  Seems like there's less chance for embarrasment/
hurt feelings in private.

A:	"Hey Cutie, whatcha doin' tonight?  How 'bout dinner?"

B:	"Sorry, I'm having dinner with 'C'"  < kisses 'C' >

A:	"Oh."  < slinks away red-faced >

D:	"Gee, I thought everybody knew about you two, 'A'
	is *really* out of it!"

the gang:	yeah!  <snicker>  <snicker>


There *is* the problem of trying to get time with them alone.
Especially if they are popular.  <grumble>
