I'm having trouble with this, trying to shoehorn in some form of atrevesarse...

how would you say for example 'Go on, I dare you to ask her out' '

Te reto a que la invites a salir.
Also: "¡A que no la invitás a salir!

How about this:

¡Ándale! Te desafío a que la invites a salir.

OK, thanks for the suggestions.

Ah, that's what I couldn't work out how to do.

Now, in the above I'm not sure about what is happening with this 'a que...' construction.

"A que" is one way of expressing "I bet..."

It's long been my belief that a) "apuesto a que ..." is correct and that b) that is precisely how "A que ..." is derived.

Yes, I've been looking at a few phrases. I'm not going to worry about the reasons, I guess in English we can bet on something for example
