How do you invite someone to hang out?

I know this will probably sound stupid but I have never picked up the phone and invited anyone to do anything. Anyway, I just got out of high school and during high school I never made any friends, but they was one guy I did talk to alot and in my yearbook he said we should hang out sometime and gave me his phone number. Anyway, I don’t really have any friends and I hink this is a good oppertunit to do something with someone. So my question is what the heck do I say on the phone? btw, I am a guy.

just like talk casually about memories and stuff like that. and talk about where you are now. just talk as you would if you were face to face. then just casually mention something like…o did you see the commercial for that movie [insert name here..lol] and just ask. whats the worst that could rly happen?

the only problem I could think of is that he could think you’re asking him out. sound casual, manly, and slightly uninterested to prevent this.

This is what I’m worried about, I don’t know what people say, I don’t want to sound gay or something, so what should I say?

you could tell him you were thinking about getting a bunch of people and hanging out… but then you’d have to find other people. does he have some friends you’re comfortable with?

Why don’t you have friends? Not to be mean but do you know why?

I guess I’m never the first person to talk, I always wait for someone else to talk to me before I start talking, I guess its because I don’t have alot of confidence in myself.

That is a little odd. Do you mostly spend time with your family?

Just call everybody you know, hey I am trying to get a group to go hang out at ___ are you in? Just call around and people will join if not, call the people who said yes back and just say, “hey, plans fell through, maybe next week.” Good luck man, I have never had somebody call and sound like they are asking me out, so try not to worry about it.
