there is this guy that i met a month ago in college, he's with me in two of my classes. i was thinking of asking him if I could hang out with him on the weekend since my roommate is so boring and lazy. now, would this be a weird thing to ask ?
its been years since I met new people so i really dont know how to do this; not only that, but im from saudi arabia. the good thing is that we have a lot of stuff in common and I went to a concert with him before.
again, what do you guys think about this ?

:lol: You don't ask if you may hang out with people. You just ask if they want to chill or whatever.

Well dont say it like "Can I hang out with you" cause that seems clingy and weird. Be more like "want to hang out with me and this place" or something to that effect.

Well I imagine that if you went to a concert together asking him to hang out isn't a big deal.

Just ask if he wants to have a couple of drinks, and when he's drunk enough you can take advantage :P

Just ask him if he wants to do something you both enjoy together. Something like "Hey, want to grab some beers later on tonight?" or something along those lines depending on what you want to do with him.

you are from saudi arabia... are you going to school in the u.s.? trying to make sure you're not in a country with potentially different social norms. but yeah, just mention to him sometime you should hang out during the weekend. it's not really a big deal. you've already hung out before.

I'm socially retarded, but if I were in your position I wouldnt ask him to hang out over the weekend. What I would do is think of something to do and ask him if he wants to join you.

If it was me, I'd get his face tattooed on my chest so that we had even more in common. That would absolutely, definitely be the best conversation starter.

Sounds like simply asking him "what are you doing this weekend?" will suffice.

How about "Hey, you wanna do anything this weekend?" or "We should hang out."

It's not like your going for a "I love the way your eyes sparkle!" or anything...
