"Asking somebody out" is probably the stupidest idea I have heard. I have a friend who is a complete AFC, and even though we are seniors in high school, he thinks it's still appropriate to ask someone to e your girlfriend.
This past week, after homecoming, his date slept over at his house, along with a few other people. After a night of snuggling, he woke up in the morning, bought her roses, and asked her to be his girlfriend by singing to her.
Frankly, that was the most pathetic thing I have ever heard.
