Has she hinted on wanting to meet or go on a date? If she has, be sure to respond to those cues. That would be the easiest way to go about it.

Besides that, if you're going to some large gathering like a party, festival or outing, that sort of event would be the perfect time to ask her if she would like to come along. Meeting people for the first time tends to be less awkward in group situations. Plus, you can see how you get along before you're completely alone together.

If you don't have any plans like that, find out if she is interested in something, like bowling, and then tell her that your town has a fantastic bowling alley and she should come check it out.

Drop hints, mostly, before just asking so that way if she doesn't appear to be interested you can just be smooth about it and continue talking about whatever you were discussing before.

I can do this.....i think

Selfevident is exactly right. Find a group event. Or if that doesn't work, find a common interest through your conversations and say, "Wow, we should get together and do that sometime," and see what she says.

Good luck!

Mention a restaurant you are keen on...tell they serve great...Um...linguine...ask her if she'd like to go one night? Leave it very open ended when asking (in terms of time). That way she doesn't feel pressured.

But remember...just act as if you are two friends going out...and then you'll be in a good position to see what her body language is telling you in person.

Me, I just keep putting myself in the other person's way until they notice me...lol...and then I'm right there! "hi, how ya doin'?" rofl..

I miss the flirting/dangerous/first blush of possibilities part....getting all excited for you!!!

BRING US DETAILS!!!

ok all i can say is OMG OMG OMG. We ran into eachother accidently on purpose. She is fucking gorgous.(oh woops can I say the Fbomb here?) Anyway we were both red as red could be and I spent my time holding up a freezer door to keep my knees from shaking. We met the store she works at.... Deer Lord I should of asked earlier whats the cure for the Holy Shit giggles? The ones you get when the person you like actually speaks????

im so excited for u!:)

Ok I hate this giddy school girl stuff. Just talked to her for 2hrs on the phone. I really enjoyed it..can't stop smiling.

And thanks Girls. Support greatly needed and welcomed.

Awesome! I'm really happy for you. That's so cute =D

OMG I love this and hate it all in one. She called and invited me to lunch today But I have no car here today.:( But we have plans to do something Monday.. god only knows what.. All I know is I have this big shit eatin grin on my face and I'm so giddy its driving me insane.

Well? Come on girl, spill the beans, how was the date and how is it going?

Well lets all is good...i think.. we are JUST FRIENDS we have hung out twice here at my house and yesterday I surprised her at work. She'll be here at 4 today for dinner. I am excited but getting better. I now have a cuddling budddy the last time she was here we laid in my bed and cuddled while watchin a movie. What I don't understand is why it is soo easy to cuddle but almost impossible to look into her eyes when I talk to her. We have nothing to rush its only been 16 days we started talking. I am counting cause its also the day I gave up smoking.. I would choose a cig over sex right now but I will survive.

Keep up with the cig quitting! Eat chocolate! and breath. I am glad that you stepped out beyond your comfort zone and are making new friends! You go girl!

Ok so we had date 3:) it lasted just under 24hrs I got to go home wih her and meet her folks.(nerve wracking I never had to deal with parents)Thenback to my house to cuddle and read .. It was suppose to be movies but niether of us was willing to move to put one in. It was nice cuddling with a woman all night while i slept. No kisssing just a couple of hugs. We are still under the title of just friends. But I can handle just friends like this:D

im so happy 4 u. i have a gf and ur still doing more cuddling than i am lol

Yes i get more affection now than i ever have in my relatioinships. We talk on the phone and email daily and we get together about once a week. This doesn't sound like just friends does it?>
