Ronda Rousey is constantly being asked out. Really, look no further than Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones. He's as persistent as they come. But it took a genuine offer from a Marine to pique Rousey's interest.
Last month, Jarrod Haschert posted a video on his Facebook page professing his admiration to Rousey and inviting her to the Marine Corp Ball on Dec. 11. It took no time at all for his post to go viral and catch the MMA fighter's eye.
Hey guys, I'm trying to take Ronda Rousey to the Marine Corps Ball this year and I need your help to reach out to her and her fans. Please share this post and video. Thank you!!

On Tuesday, Rousey told TMZ she would love to go to the ball with him. Initially, she didn't think she could make it because of her upcoming fight, but since the bout was rescheduled to November, she has cleared her calendar for Haschert. He better be on his best behavior, though. Rousey isn't giving anything up on the first date.
"He's cute," Rousey said. "He's got to be a gentleman. I'm not a first date kind of a girl."
If Haschert doesn't want to end the night in an armbar, he'll heed this advice.
