How do I ask a girl out on a date?

I think you should just ask her if she would like to go get a coffee with you some day. I think a coffee meeting is a good casual way to start off. I wonder how many great loves in life are missed because we are too shy to go out of our comfort zone and tell people how we are feeling. I say go for it so that you will never regret not saying anything. Life is too short for regrets.

Maybe if you know what she likes then you could just say "How would you like to go for an ice cream?" or something simple like that. "Do you like that cafe on the corner? How would you like to meet me for coffee sometime?" All she can do is turn you down so don't be afraid. Either way, she will probably be flattered.

I know how that can go I've missed some great oppertunites because I wasnt sure what to say the best thing to do is start off with a date thats short like going out for lunch or coffee this also is more likely to get you a yes in my experience

I guess personal invitation is always nice to girls rather than letter or phone call, so, have to gather strength to invite her personally, or else you will just regret! LOL,know where she works or lives, then give a visit and explain to her that you really like her so you have made an effort to research a little information about where she lives! Just be ready for whatever decision she will come up! as long as your intention is sincere, you will do fine, girls will always notice that!
