Cartoon representing the phrasal verb asking out

Definition​

To invite someone, typically a person with whom one has a romantic interest, to accompany them on a date or to a social event with the implicit or explicit intention of exploring or developing a romantic relationship. This action often signifies a transition from a platonic acquaintance or friendship to a potential romantic courtship. It involves a direct proposal for a shared activity outside of casual or group interactions, such as dinner, a movie, coffee, a concert, or any other activity designed for two people to spend focused, quality time together to get to know each other better in a romantic context. The act of asking someone out can be accompanied by feelings of nervousness, excitement, or anticipation, as it carries the risk of rejection but also the potential for a new romantic connection.
