Ok so I met this girl Monday at school. We were both waiting for an advisor and I managed to get her number. We texted a little yesterday and today (Not like long conversations or anything, just about classes). When would it be ok to ask if she wants to hang out? For example, I'm done with classes tomorrow at 12:15, but I can't figure out if it'd be too soon to text her something like "hey if you have a break between classes, want to meet up for a bit?"

What do you guys and girls think?

Thank you for any help!

    Ask her. If she has any interest in you, as friend or more, she will say yes.

    Too soon. Plan your moves....don't throw the opportunities away without at least some proper forward thought.

    She obviously likes you enough to text a few times about classes etc. Do you have classes together? Talk to her there. Find a reason to see her between classes. Keep texting a bit (not TOO much though -- don't look over keen -- that's annoying). Try to sneak in some "non-class" chat into the texts as well. See if she takes the bait and chats back. Ask casual questions in the texts so she HAS to text back and the communication starts flowing. Give it a couple of weeks of her becoming familiar with you and THEN ask her to catch up for whatever reason.

    You've got to set the scene first....make her want to go out with you because you're a nice guy, funny, have some similar interests, whatever....not some desperado she barely knows that asks every chick out after a few texts. I'm sure you aren't like that....but does SHE know that? No.

    Sure, she might say yes straight away....but there's a good chance she'll also say no....and why risk that? Give it a bit of time....long enough for her to establish a few reasons to say "Yes, why not, he seems pretty cool!" :thumbup:


    That's what I'd do anyway. 8-)

    That doesn't mean shit. Maybe she gave him her number because he was going to forward on some study notes to her or something? Totally innocent gesture. In today's world, giving a guy your number should not automatically equal a guy thinking you're interested....especially at university etc....I had HEAPS of guy's numbers at uni and vice versa. Totally innocent.

    I'd say just ask her. Don't play games. (But, then again, I have my own thread asking for dating advice, so what do I know? :lol: ) But I like when guys are just straight up with me. Good luck! :)

    You should!!!!!

    Go with what ZiggyStar said..... 100%. It's all about timing!!
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    I think there's some crucial information missing:

    How long did you talk to her originally?
    What did you talk about?
    What were the circumstances around getting her number? ("We should hang out sometime," etc.)

    I think it depends on what they talked about and what he said when he got her number. If it was a "we should hang out sometime" kinda situation, he's gotta get to it. Prolonged small talk texting can get you into the friend zone or annoying zone quick if you're not careful.

    Yep....it's totally about timing and making the chick feel comfortable enough to want to say yes.

    I remember when I sold businesses I'd have clients ask me out at the very first meeting....ahhh no thanks cockhead....I don't even know you. I've also had clients ask me out after a few meetings and if I was single, I would have definitely been more inclined to say yes after I knew them a bit. Getting asked out by someone you don't know or barely know can be off putting and the natural response is to say no straight away. But if you time it right, it can definitely increase the YES response rate.

    Friend zone is the worst.. make your intent known sooner than later..
