Liking a girl

[Henry333]

I like this girl I was in a group with for a summer adventure activities thing. We go out in a group with others and text occasionally but I want to progress to the point I can ask her on a date. What do people suggest I can do when we're out in a group or talk to her about when we text? We're really similar in what subjects we do, what we do as hobbies and stuff. We're also going to be in the same classes next school year. We're friends but not super close yet. Any help is appreciated

Compliment her on things but be subtle. Ask her questions so she talks more. Get her to talk about herself...people love to talk about themselves and she will feel more comfortable around you. When you feel comfortable...ask her out.

I would treat her and act like you wanted to be friends first by getting to know each other and finding similar interests, which you've already started. Just keep building on that. Don't rush anything and just see what happens.

Go for it! Tell her you really enjoy the time you spend with her in the group but that you'd like to spend some time with her with just the two of you and see what she says. The worst thing that can happen is she could say, "no thanks" and then you can move on. But, what if she says, "yes"? Then you won't have to wonder anymore and you may develop a great relationship with her. Nothing ventured/Nothing gained.

I agree that you should just go for it. If you are already talking to her about things, then if you are respectful and polite, she should also be respectful and polite in response to you. Talk about the things you have in common, hobbies, music, and what your classes or teachers might be like when school starts.

My mom always says that later on in life, we will regret the things we didn't do much more than we will regret any mistakes that we made along the way. I can't see it being a mistake to ask her if she's interested in going on a date. You should probably have a specific activity in mind to invite her to, but it's OK to start out with asking if she'd like to do something with just the two of you together.
