Is less than a week after meeting her too soon to ask a girl out?

Here's the situation: A few days ago, my family and I had dinner with an old friend of my dad's and his daughter. The adults(my dad, my mom, her dad) sat on one end of the table, and she, my sister, and I sat on the other end. This is the first time I've met her, but our dads have known each other for close to 30 years, so this isn't one of those "drinking buddy" situations.

Anyway, during the dinner, which lasted about 3hours, we spoke quite a bit. Throughout the entire time, she was playing with her hair. However, I'm not sure whether it can be taken to mean anything, since she wasn't sitting directly opposite me. Another thing is that within the first 5mins of the convo, she asked me if I had a girlfriend. However, once again I have no idea if this can be taken into consideration since it was in the context of the conversation; my sister was talking about her boyfriend when she asked me that. On top of this, I have no idea whether she has some interest, or is simply really really friendly.

Regardless, I find her absolutely gorgeous (which is rare), and her personality completely got me within the first hour. I rarely pay attention to conversations, but this was different. Apparently even my father and sister could tell that I like her (they asked me about it when we got home) based on body language, and the fact that I never pay attention to other people.

So now the thing is this. I don't know if I should ask her out. I find her really attractive, and her personality is amazing. Like really, amazing. Only thing (which I don't even know if it'll be a problem or not) is that our dads go way back, which means that things could potentially get awkward.

Also there is something that I should ask. Is asking a girl out over MSN *ever* a viable option? The reason being that I didn't ask for her number when we left (partly because I was pretty out of it), but I did get her email. Basically, the ONLY way for me to ask her would be over MSN. She leaves in less than one week, and I'm afraid that if I wait till she comes back, she'll get a boyfriend.

In other words, it's now or never, MSN or nothing. What would you do if you were in my shoes? She's 21, I'm 18.

it's never too soon!!!

Australia. I'm not too sure for how long, but I think she'll be back in 6months. Can't be certain until I ask her though. th3warr1or

Why would she want to go there? The damn gnats want to kill you.

But less than a week isn't too soon to ask her out, no. Heck, lots of people have sex upon first meet.

I read to the part where she asked whether you had a girlfriend.

Go for it man.

Pics or it didn't happen. :P

definitely get a hold of her so you can get some before she leaves. But dont try and start a relationship if she is gonna be gone for 6 months, you dont want to limit yourself when she is gone

6 months? It's pointless, you could have plenty of chances with other girls in that time.moz-182

Go for it man.

The fact that she wants to know at all conveys some measure of interest.

No, I just have enough money to make frequent trips down if I want/need to. It's not going to be a long-distance relationship. I'm not going to go all the way to Australia to visit a random girl, or just a friend, but if I like her and she likes me, that's not an issue.

I wouldn't do it. I foresee you blowing a lot of money to go see her in Australia and coming back a broken man. TheColbert

MSN her to get her number and then call her to talk it out.

Just ask her,better to get it out of the way...

She says no,well f*** it, get a bottle of wine and start writing poetry ;)

But if you like her,you have to ask her,trust me,its much better to:Take a leap of faith then to become an old man filled with regret, waiting to die alone :D

I always wanted to say that since i watched the movie.

But seriously,its true.

[QUOTE="AutoPilotOn"][QUOTE="th3warr1or"] I have a lot of money to blow. :D-Big_Red-

Be nice about asking for her number such as "may I have your number so I could call you?" Then after she give you her number, call her and tell her that you had a good time at dinner. Ask her out after talking a bit more with her on the phone.

Nah, go for it!

I didnt read that but unless you met her at a funeral or something like that no its not. Ask her out right away, ASAP.

[QUOTE="-Big_Red-"][QUOTE="AutoPilotOn"] Just curious, how? Your only 18 right? How do you have so much extra cash to throw around?th3warr1or

[QUOTE="th3warr1or"][QUOTE="-Big_Red-"] He sells his body ofcourse.-Big_Red-

Ah, yes I suppose it is. :P

Go ahead. It doesn't look like much harm could be done.

If it was an interesting conversation, she'd be wanting to get to know you better. If it wasn't then, you might want to chit-chat with her a bit more. As for the phone number, this is what I would say in your situation:

Me: Hey, you're really cool. What's the best way of contacting you?

She: (either phone, email, or facebook)

Me: Cool! I wanna hang out with you before you go to Australia. There's this great place called...

Remember that she is probably as self-conscious about this as you are. Stay calm, and be playful and courteous. If she insists on paying, don't force yourself (that's just rude, and you shouldn't be paying for a relationship). If it doesn't work out, there are plenty of beautiful and talented women out there who are waiting to meet an upstanding guy like you. If it works out, you have my sincerest congratulations. Have fun and be nice. Let us know how it turns out. ;)

Go get some boy, whatchu waitin for?

MSn her asking for her number. Call her, set something up. Like you said, you don't want to miss your chance.

Here's the deal man. You like her, and she probably likes you, and she's leaving in a week for presumably a different country, right? Read that a couple times and you'll see you got a great opportunity here. You ask her for her number, then ask her out, or however you wanna do it, and she says yes, then your set man. You got yourself a girl you like and all and you can go visit her and everything else. She says no (which I don't see happening), look at the bright side. She's leaving the country, and she'll be more worried about that than a failed relationship attempt, and it'll all blow over nice and good. And by the time she gets back it'll be something of the past. I say you ask her out right the hell now man. You got nothing to loose really.

Sure why not? I have ask girls out the first time I met them. They are usually very receptive if you don't come on too strong or act like a creep/awkward

What? I've asked girls out who I didn't even know compulsively before. There is no too soon my man.

Do it

Go for it dude. Plus your dad and her dad will probably like it. Seems like she like you too. If you get with her it will make everyone happy.

I have her MSN, I just don't know whether to be straight to the point about asking for her number or like ask for it while in the middle of a convo. th3warr1or
