advice for a young'un

    basically,I met this girl at a party two weeks ago,we both have quite a few friends in common and had met once or twice before hand.Long story short,we ended up spending the night cuddled together on the couch,nothing else happened with a house full of people etc.

    roll on a few days and we started chatting over facebook,we get on really well and she has almost all of the same interests as me.Due to a college break,I didn't see her for two weeks,but we were talking every day or two in between.Now I'm back in college and haven't had time to go and say anything to her,I really want to ask her out but I'd rather do it in person.

    Would it be weird to just ask her out to a movie or something,somewhat out of the blue?

    I know that's an odd question to ask but,I'm 18 and due to some really difficult times over the last few years,I haven't really had much interest in girls since I was about 15.I'm pretty neurotic about this whole thing,I know.But I keep thinking I'm just imagining this all in my head and she has no interest in me.I'd love to just say "I like you,want to go out some time" but I am the kind of person that really over thinks things and I know I'll be seeing her a bit more often anyway[I've been hanging around with her/our friends more often]

    Thanks for any replies,I know I'm a bit of a loser from the above,but I'm trying,

    It would probably be weird to just walk up to her and ask her to go to a movie, but as part of a conversation, it definitely wouldn't be.

    So just chat to her in college, just the usual talking as if you were talking to anyone else and then say, "hey, fancy going to the cinema this week?". I know it's easier said than done, so if you're really nervous, then you can make it a group thing - if everyone's standing around talking in a group, suggest to everyone that you go to the cinema.
    If she's not interested, she'll tell you that, and that's the end of it - no awkwardness, you haven't spilled your guts onto the table, and you can continue being friends.

    All I can suggest is not to blow the whole thing out of proportion in your head. Stop thinking about "what ifs", because you're going to be wrong no matter what you think. From what you describe, this girl clearly enjoys your company and enjoys talking to you, so the hard part is over.

    it wouldn't be weird at all, but make sure she knows it's a date. You don't want to go down that road of friendville.

    I dont know about suggesting to the group that you go to the cinema. I think that it would make you more nervous going on a date with her and a group of people and she mightn't even think that it is a date either, just a group thing.

    If When you ask her out it wont be out of the blue cos you two obiviously know and are comfortable with each other:). Good luck with it, the thoughts of it are way worse than actually doing it.

    OP - stop wasting time.
    The longer you wait the more convinced she will be that you are not interested and will move on to someone else....

    So doubts aside - make her know NOW - before it is too late.
    Stop doddering - act.
