By the Lovora team · Updated
The best way to ask someone out is the one that fits the two of you, and that makes an honest answer easy. Playful works because it takes the pressure off; it should never make "no" hard to say.

Tips that make any gift land
- Have a plan ready: a day, a place, an idea. "Sometime" is easy to avoid.
- Make "no" easy and respect it. Kindness either way is attractive.
- Ask in a way that matches how well you know them. Grand gestures suit people who already like you.
