What seemed weird when I visited your country
Method of Madness:
"I wouldn't ask her out, but ask her out. Or maybe ask her out." is pretty much what I got from that quote :psyduck:
Barmymoo:
There are subtle differences though. "Will you go out with me?" is a slightly crass way to ask someone to start a relationship with you - it was how people got together in my secondary school mostly. "Would you like to go on a date?" is different, as all you're asking for is a single date's worth of commitment. "Want to go and get coffee?" is different again, because that can be a friend thing.
Loki:
Okay, obviously I was mistaken in stereotyping this as "Americans have this weird notion of dates and non-dates". My apologies.
Edit: *blink* "go out" implies permanence (in Britain, I assume)? I never knew that.
Method of Madness:
Really? I dunno, when I was single I'd ask a girl if she "wanted to go out sometime?*". I'd consider that asking someone out. And yeah, the whole "will you go out with me?" doesn't seem to be a thing past the teenage years. I'd suggest going on a few dates with someone or at least spending time with them before even thinking of starting a relationship with them.
*This can be dinner or coffee or whatever, but if you use the phrase "go out" it's probably clear that it's some sort of date. Actually those things are never really clear, never mind. Dating is confusing and I really don't miss it.

The horrible thing is is I can imagine that being real. I feel sorry for you Aussies.
Mind you, we have Darth Key, so things aren't that great here either.
