    OK, so I started a new college course back there in September. Have gotten friendly with this girl on it, we hang out/text a lot and basically I've made up my mind to ask her out.

    We're going to the cinema this weekend and I was planning to go for a drink after and say something to her then. My question is, do you think asking her one-on-one like this is a bad idea. Would she find it intimidating/awkward? Should I wait 'till were out with a bigger group? I'm reluctant to do this as I've made up my mind now and don't want leave it any longer and end up in the 'friend zone'. Naturally I will be disappointed if she's not keen, but I'd rather find out one way or the other sooner rather than later.

    TBH if she's already going to the cinema and for drinks with you alone, she's definitely gotta already be keen. Just get ridiculously flirty with her when you're out. See how that goes, if she responds well (and she probably will), then just go for it; tell her you like her, plant a kiss on her, whatever!
    There's no way you could be blamed for making a move on her if she's already going for drinks alone and flirting with you. Yeah, do it sooner rather than later.

    agreed.

    definately wouldn't wait till you were out with a bigger group or it'll just turn into a meaningless score in a nightclub, not the way to go if you're looking for a relationship with this girl.'

    as a girl, i would find being approached while out with other people awkward and uncomfortable. definitely say something when the two of you are alone

    Aye, best time is when you two are alone. Just lay your cards on the table, the worst she can say is no.

    Erm, isn't that going out?
    What do you plan to ask her?

    'Want to go to the cinema and out for a drink afterwards?'

    Ya gotta be able to pick up whether you have a chance or are a "mate"?
    I dunno I'd say go for it. Chat her up in the cinema/pub................ie jokey manner............any blokes chasing after you this weather? So if you happened to meet the right guy you'd be available? ....................etc

    Just test the water and see how she reacts .ie does she get flirty back
    That way you can pull back without having to blurt out "I love you" and ruin a potential friendship.

    'Well, I dunno how common happy endings are on this board, but FWIW I went ahead with it last night. She asked could she think about it, we met up again today and now we're going out! :)'

    oh whatever you do don't let it go into the friend zone
    oh the dredded friend zone
    sadly my prob is that people dont really get to know me until were good friends and by then its to late (friend zone :mad: )
