Explanation:
I agree with Golden View's comment. Although Donglai's translation is acceptable, Chinese boys would never ask girls to go out like that. To be strictly, we don't have such a custom as dating. Chinese boys don't date girls. They just ask them going out to have dinner, go to a park or simply have some fun. Usually girls go out with boys without approvals of their parents when they are not eligible, or don't have to when they are eligible. And boys seldom nock on the doors holding a bunch of roses to pick girls up for a date.

So if you actually ask a Chinese girl to go out with you, you'd better to use Golen View's verson. You will give her an impression of knowing and respecting her language and custom. Roses are always welcome, of course!
