Opinions?

I'm a new member to the forums but have been looking at others topics as a guest for a couple of years, and I finally have something that I think you guys would be a great help with. My question is how long to wait to ask a girl I like out, I know most of you are going to be like "no time like the present", but here's a little more background first. I have known said girl for a couple of years, but have only started really talking to her in this past year. She was in some classes with me last year and we talked between classes almost every day. After that we started talking on a massive comment thread on facebook (like 1300 comments) over the summer and more recently now that school is starting I have seen her a few times, and at one point suggested that texting might be easier than trying to talk on facebook. So for the past couple of weeks we have been texting a ton about a huge variety of topics(likes, dis-likes, family, etc.) We get along very well, and can keep conversation going for a long time easily. I am almost certain that she likes me too, so getting stuck in the friend zone isn't that big of an issue. The only problem that I could see is that we are both very involved people both in and out of school, and we might not have time right now (freshies this year if it makes any difference), however I also think that us being such diverse people is one of our strong points too. Sorry this was soo long, been thinking about this for a while and decided to see what you guys thought. So should I ask her out to a dance this year, wait like a year, or what? Thanks!

I think you should ask her to the dance this year! Clearly she likes talking to you and finds you interesting. Don't wait, approaching her and taking it to the more than friends level might be what she's waiting for. Girls usually don't like to ask but be asked.

Okay, I think I will, I think that she may be wanting me too ask this year also. Thanks for the advice!

I'm sure she is pretty comfortable with talking to you, and both of you enjoy each other's company.
Its a good idea to invite her for the dance, at the same time out if the hectic schedule, arrange little meet ups, I.e lunch and stuff to get to know each other better.

It's really an awesome way to start a budding relationship.
Remember to take the shot at the right time, and make it count.
Do not be careless, but do not be too careful either.
All the best.

Good luck

I think that this is the perfect time to ask her to be your girlfriend. Considering everything you've said, and the fact you're confident in yourself and in the fact you're confident in her, it sounds like you two would be perfect. Though you're both busy, as you've said, make time for each other whenever you can, and be with each other whenever possible in school. The fact you're both very independent is also good. It shows that you won't be too clingy if and when there's a relationship.

In short, I think that right now is a perfect time to ask. Good luck. :)
