How well do you need to know someone before you ask them out?

Posted on Tuesday in so you think you can dance | by

So there is this german exchange student at my school and I think I like her.
I talked to her on facebook at the beginning of the year a lot and I think she liked me a little bit. I decided not to pursue her because she ended up being friends with the art freaks, but now I am friends with a few of her friends, so now I decide to pursue.
There was this semi-formal at my school at the beginning of December. I had thought of other girls to dance with but that morning I was walking up the stairs and she said "John! Are you going to the semi tonight!" I said Yeah and she said see you there. I was like woah, she came to talk to me, so I danced with her multiple times at the dance. Very nice.
I had a really shitty month, so I didn’t do much with her this month. I have talked to her a few times, but after this nice relaxing vacation I want to really go after her cause I need a date for prom and it would be nice to date her so there are no strings attached because she leaves in June. I was thinking when I get back to school, ask her for her phone number so I can ask her out sometime.
My question is: Do I know her well enough to ask her out on a date? Are the signs very good that she will? I personally think I take things too slow. Basically any thoughts on this please…

I think you pretty much know her well enough to ask her on a date. It’s not like you’re asking her to be your girlfriend or anything so this is a good step to take. Back when I first asked out my last girlfriend on a date, we had just became friends. Then when homecoming came around, i decided to ask her out to the dance and we became very close. It’s basically like you asking that exchange student on a date so I say go for it and good luck bro!

    You can ask her out on a date, I’m sure it’ll be fine, but since you don’t know her super well it can get awkward pretty fast if you’re heading in the wrong direction. Just hang out with her the first few times so she’s comfortable.

    yeh ask her on a date. she seems nice and you danced with her and stuff so she obviously has some feelings for you as she didnt reject you.

    i have some friends who’ve gone on a date with someone they’ve never met (cus they met over msn).

    definetly get her mobile number and maybe meet up as friends first and then go on a date…
