Write the next sentence in this paragraph:

How to ask someone out
Determine whether this person is already in a relationship.
This will save you a great deal of embarrassment and unnecessary effort.
Don't ask somebody out if they are in a relationship.

Options are:
(a). That will come across as clingy. This is unfair and makes the person you're asking out feel like they already know you..
(b). Many people break up for a variety of reasons, and one of the worst things you can do is ruin the relationship. In the best case scenario, this person will probably wait two-and-a-half years before saying " i want to date you "..
(c). You never know if you are or have gotten one and don't want to guarantee it. If the person you are asking is in a relationship with another person, there can potentially be some chance they'll be cheating on you..
(d). Not only is it essentially guaranteed that they'll say no, but it is inappropriate, unfair to the person's boyfriend/girlfriend, and reflects poorly on your moral character. Be confident, but prepared for rejection..
(d).
