Sure here you go...good luck big fella.

[LIST=1]
[*]Appear positive, relaxed, and approachable. Greeting him with a nice smile and starting off with a simple “Hi” or “Hello” are simple ways to break the ice.
[*]Can’t think of anything to say? Ask him some open ended questions that will allow him to do much of the talking. For example: “What do you think of this class?” can get the ball rolling if you are in school or college. It demonstrates that you are interested in his thoughts and opinions.
[*]Realize that you [I]will[/I] get shot down sometimes. Everybody does. But you have to start somewhere.
[*]Practice. You can do this in front of a mirror, with a recorder or with a trusted friend. Practice asking a guy out that you’ve met before and you at least know a little bit. For example: “I’ve got two tickets for the Red Sox game this Saturday, would you like to join me?” Or, “Have you been to the new Thai restaurant on Third Street? I’m planning on trying it out, but I can’t find anyone else willing to try it – would you like to join me?” He will either say [I]yes[/I], [I]no[/I], or “Oh, I can’t, I’ve made plans for Saturday.”
[*]If he says he already has plans, that doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t want to go out with you. You won’t know for sure whether he’s making it up or not. Don’t stand there and say, “Well, how about Tuesday, or next Saturday?” because you’ll look desperate. Smile and say, “Okay, well maybe next time.” Be friendly and try again in a few weeks.
