Is it possible to ask a girl out too early?

Okay so for the first time in a loooong time, I've actually found a girl who I'm seriously interested in. I've only met her briefly once/twice and she's a friend of a friend type thing. When I say I'm 'interested' in her, she seemed like a decent girl ie. someone I'd like to see more of. I know she's attracted to me.. just from her behaviour that evening. I last saw her on the weekend.

The problem is that when I met her I was under the assumption that she was taken (golden rule of mine not to mess with taken girls). It turns out she's single but I only found this out yesterday. There's a very decent chance I will see her again over the coming weeks (going to a party she'll probably be attending in a month or so) and it's possible I may see her again on random nights out as my friends hang out with her friends a fair bit.

Now the silly thing is I'm no stranger to asking girls out/getting their number. I would've liked to have done it that evening but I thought she was taken. She also seemed to be playing hard to get.

Anyway I figured since it's been a few days since I last saw her, I feel it'd be a little awkward for me to ask her out now.. I wouldn't be able to do it without getting her number off a friend too which seems a little creepish... especially because like I said, I didn't really get to 'open her up' and just had some playful banter going. I guess I'm just concerned about blowing my chances early. I also believe in striking while the iron's hot and it seems a little too late to make a last ditch attempt when it's very possible I'll see her soon.

Am I doing the right thing by waiting till I next see her? I'm pretty confident that next opportunity I get to meet up, I'm gonna chase her down like a dog, but it's screwing with my head because I can't get her out of my thoughts (sounds like oneitis I know). I figure during this time I can just forget about her and chase other girls to keep my mind in check.

What do the rest of you think about the situation? Any similar experiences?

Grrr, I hate over-analyzing **** like this. Thankfully I'm going away this weekend with the lads so they'll be plenty of opportunity for me to focus on other girls..

sorry to post without any help, but i wanted to say that I also find a situation confusing when you first meet someone under one pretext (i.e. not interested/friends) and then you want to meet them under another (dating). awkward... no? any help for SteR and me?

Ah, I should probably mention that I was flirting with her a little bit.. play wrestling/a lot of kino (as I do with most women) but I didn't expect anything to come of it.

What's troubling me is that there's a good chance I'll see her again in the future.. and I don't want to put myself in an awkward situation now by asking her out when I don't really know her too well. Plus her interest levels have prob dropped a bit since this all happened on the weekend - it would've been ideal for me to ask her out at the end of the night.

Anyway what's the deal with your situation? You trying to seduce a friend?

One thing I try to do is be flirty/playful with girls all the time.. that way when the time does come for you to make the next move, they should already be aware of your intentions.

bump for advice :)

Don't wait...ever.

If you want something in life, you have to go to it.

If you wait for the "perfect time", then you someone else might come in and steal her away from you.

Just ask her out.
I agree.. but how the hell can I do it without coming off as a bit of a weirdo? I'll have to ask a friend to ask his friend to get her number. If I'd done this the day after meeting her then I reckon my chances would be good. But now it's Thursday (5 days later). ****.

You are seeing her in a months time at a party right? I'll do this

1) Ask for her number from your mutual friend, but whatever you do, DON'T contact her! Chances are news will travel to her and she will be wondering...

2) Hit the iron at the gym in the mean time. Make sure you are in tip top form for the party

3) Chat her up at the party like you did before, you seemed to have done that well last time you see her already. The number thing might or might not come up, if not, engineer a way for it to crop up in conversation. If asked about it, tell her some ridiculous excuse such as that you were renewing your passport and you had to fill out the contact number of someone in case of death or emergency

4) Go for the kill!

Did something similar last night and added her on fb. Seems less creepish to me!

Fortunately I've been into lifting ever since I was a kid.. I'm not worried about my appearance ;) (but duly noted)

Yea this is the bit I want to get to asap! ha. I'm pretty confident I can get this girl but it's just getting the opportunity to meet with her again. I'm also gonna talk to my buddy this weekend and see if he can engineer another night out where we both 'happen' to be there.

Anyway thanks for the advice, appreciated!
