A couple of days ago. I met an nice, sweet, interesting, engaging, and good-looking girl through a mutual friend. I asked her out for coffee yesterday, and it was fun. I felt a strong connection as we were able to talk deeply for a couple of hours. She even agreed that it was the most fun she's had in a while.

 

I know I might be crazy, but I think I'm starting to like her after one meeting (and a few text messages). I don't want to move too quickly, nor do I want to get perma-friend-zoned. I want to get to know her a little more, so I asked her to go out to dinner with me sometime, and she agreed. We're going to be away from each other for the holidays, but she promised to do something with me when we get back.

 

So what should I do? Should I go out with her for a while so we get to know each other a little more? I want to wait for the right moment to ask her (out on an official date, or if we can be bf/gf), so it doesn't come totally out of the blue and she won't be frightened or caught off-guard.

 

I was thinking to gauge her interest through her signs and/or if she's willing to continue seeing me alone. I was thinking to see how it plays out. I know many people on the forum suggest just flat out asking her out to see if she's interested. But I'm not quite sure if it's too early. Any thoughts?

 

And what do women think? Do they like it when guys are initially very up-front about their intentions? Or do they like to hang out with a guy alone, and slowly see if there's any attraction?

Nothing wrong with asking for a date. But get to know her a little better before you go putting terms onto things. You'll know when it's the right time to move from dating to a relationship.
