Inviting a girl to spend time together can feel daunting, particularly if you sense the possibility of a deeper connection. The situation becomes more challenging if you're not well-acquainted, as the invitation might seem awkward. Whether you know her well or not, the desire to get to know her better is key if you're considering spending time together. Overcoming nervousness involves keeping invitations relaxed, exploring group activities, and engaging in enjoyable experiences.
Steps to Follow
Keeping It Relaxed
Invite her to join activities you already have planned. Approach the situation naturally by including her in events you were going to attend anyway. For instance, if you're heading to a barbecue, casually ask if she'd like to join. Focus on having a good time, whether she decides to come or not.
- Try saying, “Hey, I’m going to a cookout tomorrow if you’d like to swing by.”
- Or, “A few of us are checking out this new restaurant if you’re interested.”
Greet her with a simple "Hello" when you see her. You don’t need to engage in long conversations or overthink your words if you spot the girl you’d like to spend time with in public. A casual “Hi” or “Hello” to acknowledge her presence is an effortless way to stay cool. Maintain eye contact and offer a friendly “Hey” as you pass by or share the same space.
Use open-ended invitations to assess her interest. Open-ended invites don’t lock you into a specific time or activity, making them ideal for gauging her willingness to accept more concrete plans later. Keep it simple and observe her response to determine her level of interest. If you’re unsure about your intentions, frame the invitation around a group event.
- Try saying, “Would you like to get lunch one of these days?”
- In a group setting, suggest, “We should all hang out soon.”
Maintain a positive attitude when making plans. People are naturally drawn to cheerful individuals who radiate fun and positivity. Smile when inviting her to join you for an activity, and keep the conversation upbeat and lighthearted. Focus on enjoyable topics to create a welcoming vibe.

Ask her to join you and your friends for an activity. A great way to start spending time with a girl is by including her in your social circle. Gauge her interests and see if they align with yours and your friends’ by engaging in casual conversation. If there’s common ground, extend an invitation to your next group event. For example:
- “We’re heading out tonight—feel free to join us!”
- “My friends and I are catching the new movie. You’re welcome to come along.”
- “We’re having a cookout tomorrow. Would you like to drop by?”
Discover shared interests. Plan activities that align with the girl’s preferences to increase the chances of her agreeing to hang out. Engage in casual conversations and pay attention to her likes and hobbies. For instance, if you both enjoy basketball, invite her and a few friends to watch the next major game. Bring up your own interests to naturally steer the conversation toward hers.
- Try saying, "I’m so excited to hit the water! Have you been to the lake this season?"
- Or, "I need to brush up on my gaming skills. Do you play video games?"
- Or, "Soccer is such an intense sport. Do you enjoy watching it?"
Choose a convenient location. The girl you want to spend time with will appreciate an invitation to a place that’s easy for her to reach. Identify areas she often visits and suggest meeting up when you’re nearby with mutual friends. Ask about her weekend plans to get a better sense of her favorite spots. You might also ask:
- "Midtown has some amazing shops and eateries. Have you explored that area?"
- "Have you checked out downtown recently? They’ve got some great live bands on weekends."
- "I went hiking a while ago and was so sore afterward. Have you visited the state park nearby?"

Propose concrete plans. After gauging her interest through open-ended invitations, you might feel ready to suggest specific outings. Invite her to join you for a particular activity at a set time. Avoid pressuring her, but aim to be clear and direct. For example:
- “Would you like to attend this concert next weekend?”
- “How about we grab lunch tomorrow?”
- “Want to catch the football game on Wednesday?”
Suggest spontaneous outings. While last-minute plans might feel risky, they can also reduce the fear of rejection since they’re more casual. It’s perfectly fine if she can’t join on short notice. Start a conversation and casually propose something like:
- “Feel like getting coffee right now?”
- “Hey, I’m about to grab some food. Want to come along?”
- “The weather’s perfect! How about a quick bike ride?”
Offer her flexible choices for timing and activities. To make it easier for her to agree to hang out, simplify the process by providing options. She might have a packed schedule, so suggest different times, dates, and activities. Share something exciting you’d like to do and propose multiple days for meeting up. Include a variety of activities to cater to her preferences. For example:
- "This new comedy looks hilarious. Are you free to watch it on Thursday or Saturday? There’s also another great film releasing soon."
- "There’s a street festival next weekend, but I heard some amazing food trucks will be at the arts district this weekend too."
- "My favorite band is performing next month! Plus, a new sushi place is opening soon."
Things to Keep in Mind
- If she consistently makes excuses to avoid hanging out, it’s likely she’s not interested.
- If she declines your invitations three times, it’s best to stop asking.
