Is this too forward?

Go for it mate. I had a similar issue for about 4 ****ing months, but I eventually gathered the courage to ask this girl who I'd been literally starting at for months, but whenever she saw me looking she'd smile, I'd smile back etc. Was difficult to get a minute alone with her, cause she always seemed surrounded by her hoard of friends, but I just went up to her, asked her if she had a minute, told her I found her really pretty and would like to get to know her better, if she liked over coffee or a drink or two.

Thought she was out of my league, but have been seeing her for 3 years now.

You my friend, are an inspiration!!! Congrats mate. Cheers, I'll give it a go

I'd never successfully asked a girl out before. Sweat like a maniac all morning, wore my nicest shirt and an absolute **** ton of cologne, good thing cause of all the sweat. To be fair, it was the first time I was asking a girl out after I'd gone from being grossly overweight to in good shape over a 2 year transformation.
Best thing to remember (what got me to finally ask her was), if she says she's not interested, you'll be over it in a week tops, you're in sixth form, i'm sure you have a good friends group etc. If she says yes, it'll be ****ing boss. Getting the bird you fancy to agree to a first date is probably one of the most elated feelings you can feel imo...you'll be buzzing for days, that is until you forget your wallet on the first date and she has to pay for the coffee. Seriously, don't do that, cause I did. ****ing idiot that I am.

Perhaps it'd be easier if you had a chat first, smile, and casually slot it in somewhere.

Haha sounds hilarious! Yeah I'll give it a go. Oh man, if I pull this off I'm going to change my name to 'Messiah' :P seriously, she's absolutely gorgeous. Did you just say 'I think you're really pretty, would you like to go for a drink?'?

Im finding it hard to think of how to start a random conversation though. She's never alone :/

Whatever happens, let us know!

Haha you should! Let us know how it goes mate, wish you the best of luck.

Trust me, my approach was about as stupid as it gets, but I kind of got the feeling she was interested cause she used to smile at me when there was eye contact. I hypothesized that either she was just really nice and friendly or she fancied me, which kind of lead me to believe that even if she did say no, it'd be in a nice, non-soul crushing manner.
She was with some friends leaving the lunch hall. I made walked up to the group of 5, I felt about 3 feet tall, which is about 40% of my height , and asked if she had a second. Said I found her really pretty, and had wanted to ask her out for a while now, and wanted to try to get to know her better over a coffee or some drinks if she'd like.

That said, I'm pretty sure there are better ways of asking a girl for a coffee/date, but the questions pretty basic, and keeping it simple probably reduces any chance of you making an idiot of yourself (not saying you would, just that I thought I would so I decided to keep it simple )

She'd never dated anyone before either like me, so I think we were both kind of clueless
When I asked her for the coffee/drink, she smiled, and said she'd wondered when I'd finally make my move. I said something along the lines of well, I didn't know if she was interested to be fair, and she was like you're not very good at reading a girls signals are you. I gave a very blank stare I believe. Not one of my proudest moments lol.
She was awesome though, asked for a pen a pen, grabbed my hand, wrote her number on my right hand and said she's free on the weekend.

Could not agree more mate.

Its a fun period, the looking game, just make sure it doesn't overstretch. Chances are if the girl is pretty (which i'm sure she is given you're clearly attracted to her) there'll be other guys interested at some point. Just a tip...act on it if its clear as day that she's playing the 'looking game', and blushing and smiling etc. There's no way she doesn't fancy you if that's happening. Then again, what do we know. I've been ****ing dating this girl for 3 years and there are times when I'm suppose to know things "because I'm just supposed to know"

She's turned down 2 guys I know of, sort of makes me nervous. Luckily, after talking to them, she wasn't playing the looking game with them (that she said).
Your right though -- time to man up haha

Congrats btw, what came from that 1 moment of bravery is awesome!

If she does the looking game with you she likes you, trust me. Those are the tactics that I use if I dont know the guy that well

Tbf, considering it's not a very discrete tactic and can be misread, why do you do it? You could be less forward and more obvious by doing a number of things.

Anyway, thanks. I think I'm going to wait until I catch her playing the looking game once more before asking her out. Already crying inside!

Luckily, I have until Monday to pluck up the courage... or rationalise giving up on her as 'character building'. Whichever comes first.
