need dating advice!

[renegade7]

ok so I've been friends with this one girl for a very long time but we've gotten really close over the last few weeks. I really like her and I've wanted to ask her out for a few days, and I've also heard from a few of her friends that she likes me. Just today in the hall I asked if she wanted to do anything this weekend and she said yes, but I had to get to class before we could talk about what we would do. I meant as a date but I didn't actually say that. Stupid, I know ><

My question is this- should I say up front that I mean it to be a date, or should we do something that isn't necessarily a date and ask her there?

I'd tell her straight up that I meant it to be a date, she already said yes and you have a good reason to think that she likes you too so I would personally try my luck and she if she would like to go on a date. Besides it's better to get it over with now then living with the dreaded "what if" like I've done many times before.

What I might try and do is allude to it without asking directly, as in "So, was there anywhere you really wanted to go for the date?" Or, "So, what do you think is a good date movie?"

Stick with the just hanging out and then go for the moment. Of course there are people that say you can't set up a "moment" you can. Keep it as just hanging out until during the thing where you make your eyes lock and of course from there its "magic"... or some bullshit lol.

She already said yes, so go to her directly with your request.

go do something that you would do on a date or with a friend, that way you can tell her its intended to be a date minus the awkward "wth do we do now?" if she doesnt want to date.

Eh, there's only a fine line between hanging out in a date. And I don't mean that in a creepy way, but if the intention is to get to know her better it could go either way. So I say mentioning it probably doesn't matter.

Thanks all you've been incredibly helpful! I just got back from hanging out with her and we talked about it and she said yes, she would like to date me (she also said that she was going to ask me out while I was with her but i beat her to it. HA!)
