Since you're not sure where you stand - you should ask her for a coffee first (casually) and take it from there. Whatever you do - do not sing her cheesy songs, or gift her presents....the woman likes a challenge.

You might want to use the following routine. Considering her psychological profile there's a strong chance that it would reduce any possible chance of failure.

"You know, I think you're worthy. I choose you. I'd like to challenge you to mortal kombat. How about we do this over a cup of coffee?"

I'll have to disagree with langurmonkey. DO NOT get physical/touchy while asking her out. Seriously. There are plenty of girls that are casually touchy feely with friends regardless of gender. It doesn't mean they want to jump your bones. It means 'You're an okay guy to hang out with and I currently feel safe around you. I like touching my friends and I consider you a friend.'

From your first post I get the feeling you two are friends or at least on friendly terms. So I'm going to stress it again, NO TOUCHING while you're asking her out. Asking someone out firmly pulls you out of the safe zone. If you touch her it means entirely different things compared to when you were just a friend and she MIGHT NOT want you touching her that way. First step to getting along with a girl is to respect her boundaries.

You might get turned down, in which case she will sure as heck appreciate that you considered her feelings and treated her as a person instead of as a piece of juicy meat. You'll get extra browny points and she'll appreciate you more as a person for not being grabby. Less awkwardness overall, more chances of the two of you continuing to hang out if you want to.

Or she might say yes (hopefully), in which case she will sure as heck appreciate that you considered her feelings and treated her as a person instead of as a piece of juicy meat. For some women that's part of the reason to say yes. Women like confidence BUT confidence does NOT mean 'Grab the booty'. It means try not to stammer/shake from anxiety visibly, smile, be yourself and if for whatever reason you get turned down DON't act like a dick to her afterwards.

I'd also like to note that when I said 'Grab the booty', I don't mean fondling, though of course it's obviously out of the question. Hugs, kisses, much-implying-hand-on-knee, hand-holding, ANY physical contact is OUT. Because SHE might interpret it as you 'grabbing the booty' and that will backfire on you. Because asking her out more or less means you're asking permission to eventually get sexual and she WILL judge your actions at that moment through the filter of 'He wants to do me'. You're asking permission, so let her set the pace. And if you're on a date and touching and she shows discomfort (make sure to consider her body language) LET GO IMMEDIATELLY. Saying yes at first doesn't mean she isn't allowed to get cold feet afterwards. Actually, if you want to touch and don't know if you should ASK HER. Seriously. It might seem lame to you, but it's one of those adorkable things that every woman secretly loves. And don't expect to get laid on the first date.

Phew. This ends the rant.

Whether you end up using Pokemon to ask her out or not make sure you include the word 'date' and have some plan. 'Want to go on a date there?' or 'Want to go on a date then?' This way she can't say she had no idea what your intentions are and the preperation doubles as an indication of confidence. If you use Pokemon: I don't know anything about the game so, just incase, make sure you're together when she gets the email.

This really is the end of the rant. Good luck! :)

-Wait till a party comes up, and go there.
-Cross your fingers and hope she comes too
-Both of you get drunk
-During the wee hours, when most of the people have already left, grab her tits unexpectedly
-Go to her place

That's how my current relationship began. Wait, you thought we were mature people? :P

Good luck =)
Just 2 tips.

Be direct, don't overthink it.
There's loads of advice. Just be yourself as you normally are. Ask her directly if she'll go on a date with you.

Do not mention the L word :P

I think I just got turned down, oh well xD

So now you're more rich from the experience and ready to find your next target? =)

You "think" ? Was it an ambiguous answer or something ?

It was a rather cloudy answer. but it involved a "Dodge" Excuse, an ridiculously unlikely reason as to why not lol. could be true, but something tells me it's not.

ah late to the party again... how is it I so often miss that GOG threads are several pages long?
disregard post :P

It's alright, Cleverbot understands me.

XD

Edit: Plus, apparently your not the only late on XD

A straightforward expression of interest is the best, and the point you make about this Pokemon gift makes me think you are quite thoughtful to assess what this girl you like might appreciate. Thoughtful is always good.

I do find (female opinion that) that a shy person's attentions tend to be lovely and attractive because they are rare and thouhgtful, and not some default script.

See if you might find a circus in your area - unusual date suggestion, and a lot of fun. Otherwise, even a coffee or art expo shall be fine.

I don't think that any degree of being outgoing would make her touch anyone should she find them fundamentally disagreeable, really.

And should this girl say yes to go out, I think you will feel if kiss or such like is welcome. Cheek is fine if you feel shy - if more shall have been welcomed, your girl shall have something to look forward to at the next date, eh? :-)

^ This.

Best advice on here.

At least you are grown up enough to just let it go.... read a looooot of forums where guys then tried to STILL win the girl over after they were turned down.

Just wait for the next. And forget pokemon, thats so damn awful :D

nvm. I gotta read the WHOLE thread before I post.

Happened to me before. Girl said she just wanted a lot of friends and didn't want a relationship in her life at the time. A week later she was dating some guy. Really sucks but now I'm happily married with two beautiful daughters. Happy endings.
