How To Ask A Woman Out On A Date: A Lesson For Men Courtesy Twitter

"Men of Twitter, if you're going to do it, THIS is how you do it" says the tweet.

Asking someone out for a coffee and/or a date isn't always the easiest. So one woman's letting men in on one of the nicer ways to do it. Journalist Holly Brockwell recently tweeted a snapshot of her exchange with someone who asked her out. While she said no to the date, she does suggest other men follow suit when asking a woman out. Her tweet is winning major love on the micro-blogging site with over 4,800 'likes' and more than 800 retweets within 19 hours of being posted.

"Men of Twitter, if you're going to do it, THIS is how you do it," Ms Brockwell says in her tweet. A screenshot of her exchange with the person completes the tweet. Take a look at what their conversation was like:

The exchange didn't quite end there.

Am now trying to fix him up with one of my favourite people. I'm totally telling this story at their wedding

(To be clear on context - this was an out-of-the-blue DM. Usually random DM flirts say something like "UR hot" or worse, send a photo )

That basic good manners is so refreshing for you is really eye opening. There is so much shitty behaviour I just never see and this really underlines that fact. Thanks for sharing this.

Basic politeness is so rare now warrants a lovely response and twitter post!

I really stress and fret about asking people out and usually end up not, but if basic good manners is considered exceptional I maybe ought not worry so much. Thanks for sharing this! :)
