TL;DR - Confess without expecting her to say yes, and stay calm when she says no.

Here are some things not to do:
1. For goodness sake, do not ask a girl out on her birthday, your birthday, Christmas, Valentine's Day, or any holiday, because it's stupid and annoying. Holidays will not make a girl say yes, but make us feel weird, awkward, and pressured if we don't feel the same way. Just keep it simple, private, and on a day that means nothing.
2. Don't buy her gifts, then expect her to say yes to your confession because you voluntarily bought her a few things.
3. Just because you look nice, have a great body, make a lot of money, or popular, does not mean you're entitled to anyone.
4. No grandstanding, please. It's fun when boyfriends/husbands do it, because the relationship is already established. However, don't do this for a confession, because it's embarrassing and even more so when we say no.
5. No guilt-tripping, or hostility. Do not start bawling to make her change her mind. Do not say shit like, "I guess I'll die alone...," to make her feel bad for saying no. Do not get angry. Do not interrogate her, as in, "What's wrong with me?!" or "What kind of guy do you like?!"
6. More importantly, don't expect a woman to say yes to your confession just because she's your friend.

(This list also applies to women who are confessing too)
This is what I want all the guys I meet who are interested in me to know:
Ask me out in a straight up way that is not pushy or cocky. Respect me and my feelings enough that you don't ask me out in front of other people, because that can, and probably will be embarrassing for both of us; don't pressure, harass or try to entrap me. Please understand that as much as you might want me to say yes to your invitation it is also my right to say no should I feel so inclined. Please don't bitter or hateful if can't return your affections for whatever reason. If you can't truly handle rejection then it just tells me I made the right choice in saying no, because you probably never really liked or respected me as a person. Just because you find me physically attractive doesn't mean you need to ask me out or that I need to say yes. I'm looking for males who share common interests, morals, values, religious affiliation; I need real emotional, physical and spiritual compatibility. You're physical attraction to me is not enough reason to say yes, I don't owe you anything for that. Don't take it personal.
Well said, I really enjoyed reading the way you worded your reply. That should be a required read for males age 15 and up with a refresher/reminder read every 12-18 months. ::Standing to applaud you::
I wish the guys and gals on OKCupid could read some of what you wrote. That place is filled with hateful, entitled psychos.
Girls like it when you suggest something specific, like going to a particular restaurant for example, instead of just a vague "want to go out sometime?". Also face to face is the best but text if you're shy. Good luck :)
I would like the gentleman (if he is one) to be straight forward about it. I like a guy that takes charge. It's such an attractive quality. I don't like when someone beats around the bush. If you like someone tell them. If a guy is fiddle diddling around I am going to completely lose interest.
NOT AT ALL.....just become very good freinds until more happens....!! No words needed just feelings
