So I am in college and in one of my labs which meets once a week, we have groups of 6. Though I had been introduced to this material at the start of the semester, I couldn't really practice it being a commuting student and having 3 semester-long design projects, on top of other things. I still try to open girls I see, and it has been ok.

Anyways, theres this girl in my group that is very cute that I would like to get to know better. But she is always hanging around other another guy and girl, though this guy is also in my group. I have tried to stand out in the group by taking charge of doing the labs and such and it definitely helped my status. Everyone in the group respects me, and most importantly, the girl likes to ask me questions for help. Just last week, she was poking me a bit (not sure if it's her being the fun girl that she is, or she is trying to say something else.)

The semester is coming to an end soon, and I haven't really spent a moment outside this classroom with her. I like to try to just be front and ask her on a date to go bowling or mini-golfing or whatever, something that I find to be a fun date.

It'll be a bit awkward for me to just randomly ask her on a date like that. So I was wondering, would it be best if I just tell her the direct truth, that I think she is gorgeous and would want to go on a date with her? Or should I be moreso indirect, saying that I've been having a an urge to play bowling or mini-golf, hoping she would agree, and then ask her to tag along?

I really want her to know that she's gorgeous though, even if she rejects since we're in the friend zone or whatever. Anyway to easily tell her I think she's gorgeous without it being an awkward situation?

Thanks.

I'm in a very similar position. I want to see what people say.....

If it's awkward then the semester ends soon.

Why can't you just "What are you doing? Let's go get lunch." *go*

If she sees you just as a friend right now, I don't think it would be a good idea to ask her out on a date, she would most likely say no.

I've never had this problem before, because I've never fallen for a girl who was just a friend. I always go after the girls who are giving me IOI's, basically a green light to asking her out. And if she isn't giving you any IOI's asking her out would not really improve your game and just make you lose a friend, or at least make it awkward between you two.

I suggest trying to build attraction, sexual attraction between the two of you before you ask her out. If the semester is ending, DEFINITELY get her number. There is nothing wrong with that, actually if you two have been talking and hanging out all semester, as long as she doesn't think you're fucking weird she'll give you her number. Tell her to swap numbers in case you hear of an awesome rave or party or whatever she likes doing and she might want to go to. Be sure to have good text game. Go from there, I'm sure there's someone in the PUA community who could advice how to get her out and build some attraction.

But the way I see it now, sure you have nothing to lose by asking her out, and MAYBE there's a chance she secretly has been wanting you to ask her out, but that chance is slim. There's better ways of getting her to go out with you. It may seem like the semester is over and your time is almost up, but ask for her number first. If she says no to that.. what makes you think she would say yes to a date...

Please poke holes in my approach to this if anyone can, it's what I would do and I'm admittedly an rAFC.

What do you do if you just know the person on a not a really personal basis, but you know them from talking with them in class?

It is pretty hard for me to try to build attraction because, like Giovanni, we only talk during that one class, and because she hangs around this one guy and girl all the time.

So given that we only talk in this class, and that she's always in a mixed set, how can I ask her for her number or ask her to go out to lunch without it being blatantly obvious what my intentions are to her guy and girl friends around her? Should I also ask the others for their number too so she won't think into it? Or just hers, hoping that tension benefits me?

This is overanalysis.

Just go and talk to them, then break her off. If you've talked in class then it doesn't have to give anything away. You don't even have to tell her that you want to have her babies.

Once you are alone you can be direct or indirect. Given the end of semester note then you should probably be direct and tell her you're going to take her out.
