How do you know when somebody asks you out whether it's a joke/bet or not?

Well I am 15, I have never been asked out, never had a boyfriend. And, you know, just in case... Well most of the guys at my school have matured by now, but that's only most, not all. So if a guy came up to me and said, "Would you like to go out with me?" And on normal circumstances I would have said yes, what happens if he is joking or if it is a bet? I am just terrified that would happen. And I can't just say, "Is this a joke?" because it sounds like I am totally uninterested in him, it sounds rude, makes me seem very insecure (which I kind of am, you could probably tell by me asking this question hahah, but still, not exactly a great thing) etc, etc. And even if I DID ask, it's not like he'd say, "Why yes, this is a joke," if it was. He'd obviously just keep playing along with it and say, "No." So how do I know??? :( Just take the blow after saying yes and getting a "HAH, KAY MAN, HERE'S YOUR 20 BUCKS," kinda thing?
Even worse, what happened to my friend last year is this guy asked her out, and he's not even like hot or popular or anything, he's one of the bottom-of-the-chain losers at our school. And the thing with those people at our school is they are really, really mean. She said yes to be nice... Just like, "Oh, whatever," but then after like TWO WEEKS she found out it was all a bet. She dumped a cake on his head. He dumped pop on hers.
 
Make him get to know you better, call you, and hang out with you before you officially say "yes". If he does, then that should show sincerity. You should be able to tell during the getting to know each other better time whether or not he really likes you or not.

I really only thought like bets like that were in movies. Some kids may say it was just a bet to make themselves feel better or to piss someone off. I have NEVER heard of someone actually making a real bet about something like that. Like I said, it's usually only in movies.

Like I said, make him show that he sincerely likes you. Make him put a little time and effort into it. If he's willing to do that, then he really likes you unless he's just a straight up *****le and could do something like that for weeks. By that time though, you should have learned a lot about him. Enough to get back at him if he were doing something of that nature.
 
If he is ne of the guys that seems matured then say yes, however, if has a history of being a jerk or hasn't been giving you any signs of really liking you, then say no.
And that sucks about your friend. =(
