Should I text her?

Hey,

Posting here as I think posters give a great response. Fair play to them.

Background: I'm just finished fourth year in college. We joined up with some other courses this year and I met a girl from one of the new courses. We had to work together on a small project. Got on so well with her, so much in common and always feel we have great eye contact. I really like her and contact her sometimes and I think she might like me to as she initiates contact with me sometimes not related to college. Anyways Ive decided that I'm going to ask her out. The way I look at it even if she says no ill be able to stop thinking about her. I was thinking about it during the year but felt better leave just in case things got awkward, we were both very busy with workload aswell.
Anyways since were finished up I have no reason to contact her for college work. Were both working near each other over the summer but wouldn't be sure if we would come into contact. I'm thinking of asking her out Saturday night to a music night we would both have an interest in. Ideally id like to ask her out to her face but not sure she will be round the college as most of our projects are handed in. Although I would be terrified by this but would like to do it. I may have had a chance yesterday as we were both in a collaborative study room talking away but I just told myself there was too many people in the room and they would hear me asking her. Then when I got home realised I should have just asked her for a quick word outside, cant believe I didn't think of it at the time. It was probably down to nerves. So I'm basically wondering is that bad to suggest going out with someone over text?
We text a lot so I figure it is a good medium, I'm thinking of texting her seeing is she round the college and if not then ill ask her by text.
Or should I wait again till we possibly bump into each other which could be a while?

Thanks guys

ummm...could you not just call her and ask her out? to be honest as a girl, i'd be more impressed if a guy had the guts to call me and ask me out, textings fine for small talk but i dunno - if a guy texted me to ask me on a date id find it a bit "cold" to be honest... if you're too shy/nervous to call her or ask her face to face then fair enough text her, but only as a last resort...

Hey,

Thanks for the reply. Yes I am a very shy person I have never asked a person out properly before. Ive done it when out in a pub with a good few drinks on me but that just makes it so much more relaxed. Anyways I wouldnt like to ask her out with alcohol involved as I have real feelings for her and I wouldnt like her to think im just asking her out because I was drunk or whatever.
Ya good point about calling her, only problem is I hate phoning people. I dont know I just do prob just the way everyone seems to commuincate by text. Hopefully I might bump into her and can ask her out face to face and hopefully wont choke at the last second and not ask her. Other than that I may give her a text or might just wait till I definetly see her. aaahhh decisions, decisions, decisions
