Should I just ask her out?

Ok so here goes...there's a girl who I met very briefly around 2007 (quite a long time ago) and we have been facebook friends since then, although we had never communicated on it since we had added each other.

 

Well in around Jan this year I bumped into her in a bar and we both immediately recognised each other and had a nice chat...she was really interesting to talk to but my friends were leaving and I just said it was nice meeting her again finally after all this time and left it at that. Well I sent her a msg the day after to which she replied immediately but I took a few weeks to reply her after that, actually really wanted to ask her out but had a gf at the time...

 

I broke up with my ex-gf a few months ago and would really like to ask this girl out...but just don't know how to go about it using Facebook - would be much easier if I'd had asked her number! She recently started liking a lot of photos of mine, posts etc...would it be weird if I asked her out over FB msg? Also, should I just ask her for a lunch or ask her to come to a concert which I'm going to this weekend? My mates say I should just ask her but just think she'll find it a bit strange I ask her out of the blue...then again I might have to wait another 5 yrs to bump into her again!

 

Anyone had this experience before?

If she's liking your photos, her head is definitely in the right space to ask for a date.

 

You need to build some kind of message/e-mail/contact history prior to asking her out. Next time she comments on one of your pictures, shoot her a message to try to open communication.

 

Does she live in close proximity to you? If an IM is going well, you can always try the, I'm going to head out to Bar X or Coffee Shop Y - and ask her if she's like to join you to take the convo offline. Obviously, though, at that point, you need to sign off, regardless of whether or not you go. You can always pick it up again the next day, or when she comments on your pics again.
