Is there a romantic relationship in the air? You have been chatting it up with someone that you are pretty sure really likes you.

You pull them aside one day and after some initial greetings ask them if they would like to go out sometime and catch a movie and maybe go out to dinner afterwards. All of a sudden it seems like you were asking a total stranger for a date.
