INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A lot of dates are arranged via text, DM, social media, and in other similar ways. When deciding how to ask a girl out, pick whichever method feels most natural to your normal way of communicating. Keep in mind that you'll want to be really clear via text so that your intentions aren't misunderstood. Rather than being vague and asking her to just "hang out" or what she's up to that weekend, pick something fun that you think you'd both enjoy. This gives her something to respond to, and you won't be left wondering what to do if she says yes. Here are some great first date ideas: Go to an arcade or to play mini-golf Go to a coffee shop and a used bookstore Plan a movie marathon Go to an admission-free art exhibit or festival Volunteer at the local animal shelter to walk and play with the animals Make homemade pizza and do a puzzle together Send her a message that says something simple like, "Hey Kate, I think you're really cute. Want to go play arcade games and get something to eat this Friday?" Telling her you think she's attractive clues her in that this is a romantic message and not just a friendly one. Remember to ask about a specific activity. For example, "Would you like to go out on a date with me next Saturday? I thought we could get dinner and go see a movie," sounds much more romantic than, "Want to hang out sometime next weekend?" The latter could be misinterpreted. Text isn't the only optionyou could use DMs in different social media apps or send a cool video through Instagram or Snapchat. If you get rejected, don't wait too long to reply. You could say something like, "That's okay! I just wanted to ask. I still think you're cool and will see you in class." It's not fun to get rejected, but it is a normal experience and doesn't mean anything bad about you as a person. It's just not the right fit right now. If you do get rejected, reassure yourself that at least now you know. You won't be left wondering what could have happened, and you have more practice under your belt for the next time you decide to ask a girl out. Hopefully, you got a positive response to your message! Firm up the details for the date, put it in your calendar, and take a few minutes to celebrate how well things went. Either the day before or the day of your date, send her a message letting her know you're looking forward to hanging out.

SUMMARY: Use text or social media if that's how you normally communicate. Pick an activity to ask her to do before you send your message. Keep the text short, sweet, and specific. Accept her answer and respond quickly even if she turns you down. Make plans for your first date if she says yes.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Observe how he behaves. Understand his fears, thoughts, and desires. You could also read the manga, but keep in mind Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, the manga's author and character designer of the first Evangelion anime, sees Shinji differently from Hideaki Anno, its main writer and director. Unlike most cosplay, this outfit will not look out of place in day-to-day life. It is a simple: a white short-sleeved button-down shirt, a black undershirt, and a pair of black trousers. Complete the look with a dark leather belt and solid white high-top sneakers. Make sure your dress shirt is made from thick enough material that the black undershirt does not show through. Not only will a sheer shirt make you look less like less like Shinji, but it will also make you look sloppy. Luckily, like Shinji's clothes, his hair is simple and normal. Get your hair cut neat and short but not buzzed. Have bangs that are slightly uneven and long, just touching your eyebrows. Give yourself a middle part. Dye your hair very dark brown to match his if necessary. If you would prefer to keep your hair the way it is and are simply working on a Shinji cosplay for a convention, wear a wig instead. Shinji uses a fictional technology called an SDAT player that looks similar to a portable cassette player. Although cassette players are now outdated, they are not difficult to find. If you'd rather, you can always use an MP3 player instead. To really get in the mood, listen to classical music, preferably Bach (Suite No.1 Prelude for Cello). In one episode, Shinji wears a T-shirt with XTC written on it, indicating he may also enjoy new wave. Some bands similar in style to XTC include Shriekback, Gang of Four, Talking Heads, The The, and Elvis Costello. or another instrument. Although Shinji is ashamed of his perceived lack of skill, he is actually an accomplished cellist. His bashful cello playing has been a trait featured prominently since the original series. He also learns the piano in the more recent film Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo.

SUMMARY: Watch the episodes and the movies over and over. Wear a Japanese school uniform. Cut and dye your hair like Shinji's. Wear earbuds and listen to music frequently. Learn to play cello
