0:21 That’s right Teddy. It is used to invite someone to go out with you.
0:25 It is also used when inviting someone for a visit.
0:29 Is that so? Can you give us an example?
0:32 Sure. Here it goes: “My father is sick and tired of the city. I’ll ask him out to my place.”
0:39 Okay, I got it. Good example. Now it’s your turn.
0:43 I'm going to ask Suzie out tonight. Wish me luck!
0:46 Suzie?! Wow, great. You’ll make a beautiful couple.
0:51 I hope so but here’s another example: “I’ve asked her out five times already but she keeps turning me down!”
0:58 Don’t lose hope, man!
1:00 I won’t but for now let’s see some sample conversations.
1:09 Who was that guy you were talking to at the bar?
1:12 No one. Just a stranger.
1:15 It looked like he was hitting on you.
1:17 Yeah, we struck up a conversation, and eventually he asked me out.
1:22 Oh really! What did you say?
1:25 I gave him my number, but I’m not sure if I’ll actually go out with him.
1:36 What are your plans for the weekend?
1:39 Well, nothing much. I’ll probably stay home.

2:10 So he finally asked you out. Cool!
2:13 Yeah! I’m freaking out here. I can’t find a single nice dress to wear.
2:18 Why don’t you wear the mauve colored dress that you bought a month back?
2:21 Oh, gosh, you are so right. I’d totally forgotten about that dress
