Crossing the line?

[Toby Flenderson]

Hi! So I'm new here and was hoping to find a little feedback on my situation:

 

I was at the store and I found this girl's purse in the parking lot. Wanting to return it, I looked at the license and realized we went to school with each other. Now, I maybe saw here once in my life, but I was friends of her friends. With a little detective work, I got her number and texted her that I found her purse. She met me at my work and picked it up. It was a quick "Thank you! If there's anything I can do, let me know!" and then she was gone. When I saw her in person, I was stunned at how pretty she was.

 

Prior to that, when I was on facebook trying to figure out how to contact her, I realized that we have a whole lot in common. I don't want to be creepy or even disrespectful, but would asking her out through a text be crossing the line? I mean we only exchanged 25 words at most, but I can't this initial interest I have in her. Any replies would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Absolutely - text her! Worst thing that could happen is that she has a bf already or isn't interested. But you'll never know if you don't try.

Exactly, you have a 50/50 chance, so why not?

Go for it. When I was in college before the era of email and texting I was in a similar situation. I found a woman's purse in the dorm. Tried to land line call her. I found out what dorn room she was in and wited by her rom and end up taking a nap.i though maybe I could get somewhere but she was very standoffish.

I'm just worried about the texting part. I'm not really a shy guy, but I will never probably see her again, unless she leaves her purse somewhere else haha. And calling I feel would be weird since it's so random, it would really put her on the spot, especially not really knowing her. Would texting be my best choice?
