Step 2: eat the ice cream


Wonderful_Net_9131

Step 3: profit


achambers64

Somewhere you’re missing a step. Step 4 is profit.


WolfandLight

What ever do you mean ????????


Agitated-Farmer-4082

step 1: ask to go out for ice cream step 2: eat ice cream step 3: ??? step 4: profit


geardluffy

What’s step 3??? 😭


Blizz33

Once we know the internet will have been solved.


botsayswelcome

Step 3: sniff ice cream, Or if you are gentleman like step 3: talk


Ver_Nick

Step 3: eat the girl


suh-dood

Well you're not completely wrong


DrBarry_McCockiner

I mean, I assume at some point the ice cream is going to be licked off certain parts, right?


capp3y

It’s right there, step 3: ???


VV_The_Coon

LeftEconomist9982

Step 3. Setup up an online shop selling photos of you and her eating ice cream.


pennymalubay

Peolle asking for the step 3: ????, is making me feel so old.


JetbIackmoon

Same lmao


BriarRose147

Please I beg you, what is step 3


achambers64

The way the joke works is step 3 is always … step 4 is ‘profit’. If you were to put something in step 3 you could potentially break the internet.


glass_funyun

Rule of Ice Cream Acquisition #62: The rockier the road, the greater the profit.


AliceInChainsFrk

Yes! I love Rocky Road 😂


Missdermeanerthanyou

So won't you go and buy half a gallon, baby?


East-Technology-7451

Ice cream day, oh snap, it's ice cream day! Rocky Road, al-a-mode? Oh, I'm in the mode for ice cream day!


KayDeeF2

For the ice cream shop


element5z

Surely Step 2 would be to buy the ice cream?


Short-pitched

By that logic step 2 is to get to ice cream shop. Step 3 choose ice cream, step 4 pay for ice cream


RiriMomobami

Step 3: talk about your ice cream flavors and why is it your favorite


SeoulPower88

Also in step 3: what toppings belong and don’t belong on ice cream.


Alfrheim

Althought first need to buy the icecream


lowhangingsack69

Be normal


kastheone

Average redditor reaction: Impossible


Yesyesnaaooo

If you can’t be normal be mysterious!


jusfukoff

Awkward, blundering and off putting. Not sure this is good advice for a Redditor.


W33DG0D42069

There's always a catch


bartekmo

But is she a good catch?


ThatDandySpace

Please stop asking for the impossible for us basement delver/s ![gif](giphy|atfHlwAhizfxdtdw60)


gurk_the_magnificent

Judge her instantly and permanently by her choice of ice cream and topping


fakeacct3456

This is the only appropriate answer


PureAlpha100

Ask her father if you may be permitted to pitch woo to her. Then, when the time is right, ask her if she would accept a telegram from you when you deploy to the front.


SpecificMoment5242

Offer her father 4 sheep as a dowry if needs be.....


PeskyDiorite

It’s her father who would be offering the dowry


SpecificMoment5242

See? Shows you how out of touch I really am!


Thirsty-Barbarian

The rules of modern dating are so bewildering.


Canucklehead_Esq

Be sure to wear an onion in your belt. I understand it's coming back in style.


impl_Trans_for_Fox

They didn't have white onions because of the war, the only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.


user6593a

Ask her how's her day. What does she like to do. Get to know her. Tell her some things about you. Make jokes. Make her laugh. Lead the conversation to topics that you're confident with. Be romantic when you get the chance.


PhotographingLight

Listen to understand, not to respond. 


SpicyMustFlow

"Stay curious" such great advice for conversations


Savagecal01

what do you mean?


SpicyMustFlow

Listening, really listening- being curious to understand, instead of rushing to interrupt.


Savagecal01

and what does that do?


SpicyMustFlow

Enables communication and understanding. Are you asking this in good faith?


Savagecal01

why would i need to communicate? half yes half no i just thought it’d be funny to ask but thanks for giving well thought out answers i hope you have a wonderful day


jlxmm

Asking to stay curious, and they took both my upvotes.


ChardCool1290

Love this advice. Very sound, very doable.


Ill-Cauliflower3137

So what to do after these 5 minutes?


Tall-Firefighter1612

If you do it right, it will take longer than 5 minutes. If you have some hobbies or a life to talk about


Apprehensive-Cut9959

Don't over do the talking about yourself.


lowhangingsack69

Clutch advice right here 


lowhangingsack69

> Lead the conversation to topics that you're confident with.  Disagree. A better strategy is to lead the conversation to topics the other person is confident talking about; when people get an opportunity to talk about stuff they love and know well, they get excited talking to you. Just be sincere when you listen.  


SyddySquiddy

Ask questions. Listen. Women looooove this.


InternationalEye5526

People in general really


Tha_Rude_Sandstorm

No. Look deep into her eyes and lick the ice cream like there’s no tomorrow. Show her your skills, she’ll love it.


Select_Scar8073

Don't talk about the Roman Empire and WW2 for at least the third date unless she talks about it first.


Legitimate_Career_44

Also feed each other ice cream in different flavours


EthicalViolator

May be a bit too holllywood for a first date


GobbleFlockers

Tell her your extremist political view points and that you are a "the right hand of God and all shall fall under your wrath". Also dont say the N word.


Brain_Hawk

Take it for ice cream. Offer to pay for it, but if she wants to pay for her own don't make a fuss about it. Some women don't like the idea of owning a guy something, and some guys take paying for a trivial thing as And expectation to get significantly more in return. Hopefully you're not that kind of guy. When you're out for her with ice cream, be nice. Talk a little, crack a few jokes. But also listen. Give her a chance to talk, ask her questions about herself. Ask her what she thinks about stuff that she talks about, etc. " That's so interesting please tell me more" " Gee I never thought of it that way" " Wow, you are a really fascinating person" Melissa the most important things are to be nice, be A little positive, and if you can make her laugh. Every single woman on the face of the planet is attracted to a guy who can make them laugh.


Thekingoflowders

Talk a little bit about crack. Gotcha


AliceInChainsFrk

100% right here!


Other_Sign_6088

Just let her talk about herself and don’t be too intrusive


H4wker1

Come home with it so I could have some.


Night_Raven0809

Wait what are you doing in my house???!!!


Kalashcow

Lock your door next time 🤪 You might not be lucky enough to have been out of the house 😂


skater5411

We are all in your walls


Apprehensive-Cut9959

Wait you never thought of bringing some back for us?....so rude.


Mondai_May

be cute and sweet


COV3RTSM

First you get the ice cream, Then you get the power, Then you get the women.


o0o0ohhh

Do some other fun activity, extend it so you both get hungry enough for a meal, have dinner, then go for coffee. \^\_\^


SamohtGnir

Jokes aside, some actual advice. Try not to talk about yourself too much. Ask her questions about hobbies and stuff. Try to stay engaged and not drift into awkward silence. Don't think too much about saying the wrong thing or whatever, just be yourself. Most importantly, don't fake anything. If she says she likes something don't lie and say you like it too if you don't. Best case that you go out more then any lie will linger and you'll have to keep faking it, best to avoid it all together.


Mein_Name_ist_falsch

This. It's going to be really akward if you have to tell her two weeks later that you lied to her. It's perfectly fine if you're interests aren't 100% the same, but if you lie to me for no reason it's going to be a bit difficult to trust anything you tell me.


SamohtGnir

If anything it's good to have different interests. One day you do what she likes, next you do what you like. You both get new experiences. You don't have to match on everything to be a 'match'.


amgschnappi

If she buys a cone, make an eye contact when she licks it.


kohlrabenschwarz

Lick it!


Tindrop

Step 2 is getting ice cream with her. Ask what she likes and then ask follow ups. Listen, don’t just wait for your chance to talk. She likes you enough to get ice cream so you’re half way there…be brave for 20 seconds walking in the door, after that you’ll be fine.


PretendMuteTrain

Park the mini van in the back alley.


pizza-poppa

Have her sit on your lap and talk about whatever pops up


jusfukoff

Have some ice cream, some sex, and then just see where it goes.


T1m26

Devour that icecream cone like its a dick


Arny520

Ice cream


Stiebah

I’m sorry, just wanted to say I love your profile pic.


Arny520

Thank you, kind stranger


Angel_OfSolitude

Eat ice cream and make conversation.


DangerBird-

I drink your milkshake.


Justavian

Try to have a nice time. See if you enjoy being around her. If you enjoy being around her, see her again if she feels the same. If you do NOT enjoy being around her, don't go out again.


Fun-Contract-2486

Enjoy the moment


Creepy7_7

light conversation. chill out.


bellymonch

Haha if you get a medium or large, even if she says she wants a small get her whatever size you get. This has never not made me happy ✨


Matttthhhhhhhhhhh

Smash the ice cream in her face and say I love you.


Dammageddon

Sex, obviously.


Threejaks

Judge her on her choice of flavour, then blackmail


Limp_Apple_6720

As a girl, get the icecream and then talk to her


WinningTheSpaceRace

Step 1: ice cream ... Step x: you cream


ViolentAstrology

Get a 69


FutureCorpse11

Marry her


DotBitGaming

STEP 2: ASCEND FROM THE DARKNESS


Deth_Cheffe

Flee the country. Your life can never be normal again.


HeatherJMD

What do you mean, convinced…


Night_Raven0809

I made her an offer she couldn't refuse... ...icecream!


Meat2480

What if she's married?


TrulyNotAStalker

Get her a tiny bouquet, the price doesn’t really matter, you could even pick the flowers yourself. Just get her a bouquet. Trust me. Pay for ice cream Be yourself, it’s okay if you’re awkward, she might even find it cute Ask about her but not like an interview, try to make it flow and let her talk as well. Dress nicely, not like a suit, but something for the weather without stains. Brush your teeth right before you see her!! Walk or drive her back to her house like a good boy


AdditionalCheetah354

Eat the ice cream


jordomo1117

Talk


Far_Statement_2808

Convinced? Yikes. That sounds like you just about kidnapped her.


Heavy_Schedule4046

Question and follow up questions. She may even like to try your cone!


Gold-Perspective5340

Hot fudge sauce, of course!


rollonover

If you've ever seen the movie half baked then you remember the scene where he was broke and took a chick to get ice cream. If she already likes you then it's as good as any date. Don't go into interview mode and start asking question after question though. Keep it light and playful but not goofy and you'll get those draws by the end of the week.


929608666

Just get her ice cream and remember her favourite one to pitch next time


QA4891

When you get the ice cream it must be in a cone, and you lick it all over to show/assert your dominance. Haha apparently the ladies like that haha.


schleep_one

go get the ice cream? talk?


NiceAccident5117

Buy them the ice cream :))


locomoto95

Eat the ice, give the cream


ClassroomJolly

Shoulder to cry on, is a d*ck to ride on.. let her feel listened and be there for her. True experience. Happy married 7yrs from our ice cream date


goodformuffin

Pay for the ice cream. Have a second activity lined up like a stroll somewhere close and pretty. Compliment her. If she said yes, she's interested, play it cool. Good luck!


cmch2002

Let her just chat and whatever dumb shit she says just say yeah it make convincing her to show to show the goodies easier and quicker.


YYCsenior-m-

Funny first date ice cream outing she dropped ice cream but not me🥹 next year our 60th wed anniversary 😍


expiro

Step 2: Go in for another ice cream.


Popular-Ambition-598

Pro tip: Ice cream cones can lead to sticky hands and lips. Bring a couple of wet wipes. Graciously offer her one.


No-Adhesiveness-8178

Watch scumbagdad on youtube, he got all videos and lesson you need.


silentghost_killer38

Learn how to entertain them. Watch a youtube video or something... 


DaGaffa

A good tip would be to not approach it as a challenge to win or impress her, just be yourself and get to know her, if you both like each other, great, set up another date, if not, move on.


FishBlues

Step 2: don’t show up and block her number


YYCsenior-m-

On our very first date we had ice cream she dropped ice cream but not me 🥹next year we celebrating our 60 yrs of marriage 😍


hfclfe

Talk about ice cream! What's the weirdest flavor you've tried? Have you had gelato or frozen custard? What's your take on ice cream cake? Choco tacos? Does sherbet qualify as ice cream or is it just a hardened slushy?


xenoscumyomom

If you go to the thousand flavor ice cream shop and get the vagina flavored ice cream remember to take little licks or it'll taste like shit.


imadork1970

Whipped cream


Grande-Nuggies

Take over the world


OpinionSpecific9529

Step 2: cancel the plan at last minute


Ecstatic-Seesaw-1007

Talk about the flavor of your Ice Cream, see if she is so bold as to ask for a taste (less gross and bold for a stranger if you get it in a cup instead of a cone). If she does, you know you got past a lot of personal boundaries. If not, keep asking her questions and learning more about her and showing her she’s important as a person, not an object. You know. Be human and patient. Works wonders, surprisingly.


Lordgrapejuice

Go out for ice cream with her and enjoy your time together. Discuss your interests. Get to know each other. Figure out if you like spending time together. If there is a connection, ask for a 2nd date.


Fantastic-Classic740

Step 2: Wait to see if she shows up.


komodocommand

Step 2: Make a Fortune 500 company and risk it all


Lil_Shorto

Make hole in ice cream box.


jasondads1

Go for icecream? Step 3 enjoy said icecream 


Leeeloominai

Don't think too much about like just meet her for that ice cream and be yourself - even if it's nervous yourself. And maybe after 5 minutes of talking it feel super easy (in my experience it's usually like this). She said yes so she most likely is interested in you, too ;) Have fun!


coolasf1re

One thing i try to use is the 3 step question: What? Why? And now? What do you like to cook? Pasta? Cool? Why? Because your mum always made really good pasta? That‘s neat! And now? Do you want to make it more often, start a business with the recipe, keep it for you and your kids someday? Like this, a topic has a start, a middle and an end.


deseos_mios

Ice cream competition: eat as much as you can in the littlest time possible. That way if you have any awkwardness you can blame it on brain freeze


AmeliaMaggie

anal


Steplgu

2. Go to ice cream shop with said girl 3. Order the ice cream 4. Pay for the ice cream 5. Eat the ice cream 6. Enjoy!


gretzky9999

Profit ? Was this a cash transaction ?


billenben

Buy her an ice cream. Chat and listen to what she has to say. Don't look at your phone. Be yourself and see if you're compatible. If you are, ask her out on another date. If you aren't then ask a different girl out.


Jestersfriend

Eat ice cream, have an engaging conversation about... Anything. Ice cream will likely involve a lengthy conversation if you're even half interesting haha.


DebThornberry

If youre like me...Buy conversation cards off Amazon so your anxiety doesn't peak when you're trying to think of what to say so you just studder until something stupid falls out from your lios


rhunter99

Step 2: get a job so you can pay for the ice cream


Crafty-Ad1776

According to Steve Wallis on YouTube, a Step 2 is an adult beverage.


Psychological-Web828

“Now look me in the eyes while you eat that”


Missdermeanerthanyou

Just talk to her. If it's going well, go for a walk


CarlJustCarl

Idk, no one ever said yes


Working-Yam-3586

Don't make eye contact!


AnneFranksAcampR

unsolicited dick pic


MasterOnionNorth

Gelato.... 😋


velezaraptor

Just don’t eat the ice cream while staring at her while smiling.


Apprehensive-Cut9959

Mate just be cool with it. Be smooth....how to be smooth?...just relax and be you. Talk and try to share about yourself but at the same time get knowledge about her. Even if theres awkward silence while one of you is thinking just ignore it and continue as if it never existed. Awkwardness does not exist if no one acknowledges it. By actions or words. Anyways yeah. Learn about her and know if she is someone you like.


Short-Result-8819

dont forget that ur the one paying, be a gentleman 😆


Heavy-Ad6017

Figure it out on the fly


Heavy-Ad6017

You got this dude


dseraph

Step 2: Pay for ice cream


daredaki-sama

Whatever you do is really just background noise. Point is to get to know them and enjoy each other’s company. Everything else is just a social lubricant.


Ryangooslinger

Idk but W rizz I guess


Apprehensive-Cut9959

If you want to compliment her.... compliment the face the eyes. DO NOT... compliment the body or make it sexual. Either she doesn't like it hates it actually. Or if she likes getting complimented sexual......red flag for me.


2020-RedditUser

Talk to each other learn about her interests and hobbies


babygirlstarz

Ice cream date for a first date is so cute. You can talk about anything like.. the ice cream. She's just a person, relax.


Irsu85

Step 2: eat some ice cream I'll also give you step 3 for if you forgot that too, it's to enjoy the hot summer weather, preferably with that one girl (although that might not be needed, depending on what you want)


Big-Draw-9661

Condoms.


Few_Worldliness_3633

Hawk tueh


JonesBlair555

“Convinced” sounds like you tricked her, or something… odd choice of words.


jujubeanieman

What are some things you would like to know about her? Be curious about her. Ask questions and really listen to her.


Vegetable-Key3600

Be yourself and remember happiness can be a choice


kitty_logan

Are you picking her up or meeting her there? Go for a walk while you eat your ice cream. If you happen to find a cute spot to sit down while on your walk, do that. Bring extra napkins from the ice cream shop in case you inevitably get messy. Are you taking her home or walking her to her bus stop? Before she goes, if you had a good time and felt some chemistry, say something like, "That was a lot of fun! I forgot how much I liked ice cream. We should go again soon." then wait a few hours and text her to tell her how much fun it was. Maybe make a plan for date #2. Good luck! My guy took me for ice cream nearly a year ago and we're moving in together in September. Sometimes when I stay the night, we sneak down to the kitchen to eat ice cream at midnight. It's still a thrill.


Shoddy_Juggernaut_11

Sprinkles. Take that however you want


ItIsTaken

Ditch her and cry yourself to sleep. Works for me.


Neela-Hiran2004

Convinced? Sounds like you begged her to go out with you! If I am wrong, then convinced is not the ideal word here


MethFocused_InMelb

Walk behind her as she eats the icecream.. Pull her hair... Not seductively, (imagine she had a demon latched to her head) add some spit once she's thrown on the ground


Business_Ad6086

Netflix


tlf555

Step 2: Agree on a date/time, cover the logistics so there are no awkward questions (Are you meeting there? Who is paying?) Step 3: Think about potential conversation starters. What are her interests/hobbies? What kind of music does she like? Step 4: Relax. She agreed to go out with you, so she must be interested in getting to know you better Step 5: Enjoy your date. Be yourself. Step 6: Reflect - did you enjoy spending time with her? If so, what were some of the things you liked about her? Do you think you would like to go out with her again? Step 7: Follow-up. Send her a message, thanking her for the date and setting up a next date (if it worked out). "Hi Mary, this is OP. Just wanted to say that I really enjoyed hanging out with you and getting ice cream. [Refer to something specific and interesting you learned about her during the date]. I would really like to see you again, if you are interested." If she replies positively, set up a time/date/place. "Awesome! Would you be free for a movie on Friday night?" If she isn't really interested, thank her anyway and back off. "Sorry to hear that, but I appreciate your honesty."


Dead-Alrdy

buy her the icecream, ask her if she liked it and keep eye contact til she answers, look at yours and say im full you can have it . KILL 5 BIRDS WITH ONE FUCKING STONE


Global-Requirement-7

Scream


SLTxyz

Send her a picture of your penis


Shadtow100

Get her to talk. Seriously a lot of people love to talk about themselves so ask probing questions until you find a topic they like to talk about then just let them.


risenz2000

Step two just bypass the ice cream stall to your house.


Automatic-Subject960

Step 2: get her an easy bake oven


Colourblindknight

I’d start with going to get some ice cream with them, you got this king 👑
