1. Start with a casual greeting:
* "Hey [boy's name], it's [your name]. How are you doing?"
2. Find something to talk about:
* "Did you see the new [movie/TV show/game]?"
* "How was your weekend?"
3. Work up to the ask:
* "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime. Maybe we could [suggest an activity you both like, e.g., go to the park, play a game, have a playdate]?"
4. Be clear about the time and place:
* "Would you be free to [do the activity] on [day of the week] at [time]?"
5. Be prepared for a "yes" or a "no":
* If he says yes, awesome! You can make plans.
* If he says no, it's okay! It doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. You can say something like, "Okay, no problem. Maybe another time."
Remember:
* Be yourself! Don't try to be someone you're not.
* Be confident! You're doing a great thing by asking him out.
* Have fun! Asking someone out should be exciting, so don't be afraid to show your personality.
Bonus tip: You could also try asking him out in person at school if that feels more comfortable!
Good luck! You got this!
