Last week, I was looking through a dating app when I found someone that I really fancied.

I asked her what her favourite colour was.

She said it was green.

My favourite colour is green.

She said she liked The Beatles.

I like The Beatles.

It was true. I was in love.

But I didn't know how to ask her out on a date, so I went back home, back to England, to ask my friends and family for some advice.

I asked my best friend Charlie.

- Hi, Charlie.　- Oh, God.

Oh, no. Who are you?

I'm your best friend.

No, you're not.

How can I ask someone out via text?

Ask them, "Are you busy this weekend?"

Are you busy this weekend?

I asked my brother Will.

Hi, Will.

Oh, it's you.

Why is this microphone in my face?

What are you doing?

Um, how can I ask a girl out via text?

I don't know.

"Are you free this weekend?"

Are you free this weekend?

This means, "Do you have time this weekend?"

And I asked a man on a bench.

Um, "Are you up for doing something this weekend?"

Are you up for doing something this weekend?

This means, "Are you interested in doing something this weekend?"

The best way to ask someone out on a date is to ask them if they're busy first, using some of these expressions.

This makes it easier for them to say "no" if they're not interested.

If they are interested, you can invite them to do something together, using these expressions.

Then say, "Do you fancy a coffee?"

Do you fancy a coffee?

Uh... "Do you want to go to (the) cinema?"

Do you want to go to the cinema?

Uh... "Are you up for watching a film?"

Are you up for watching a film?

If you know of any other ways to ask someone out on a date, please let me know in the comments section.
