<p>What are your thoughts on asking someone out who you have a class with? Assume you have a decent amount of time left before the class ends. Too awkward if they say no or if they say yes but then it doesn't work out?</p>
<p>Ask that person to study, hang out, or go for coffee. Develop things out of class before you ask them out. The key here is to take it slow and try and get to know each other.</p>
<p>see, as an grownup I get confused by the whole "ask them out" thing</p>
<p>is it for a date, to go steady or what, cause "going out" is going steady right?</p>
<p>so I am not getting the quetion, when you say "ask out" is that to go to a movie, take a walk, or the "going out" thing, because the "work out" part doesn't make any sense</p>
<p>you hang out somewhere- coffee, a show, something on campus...if there are sparks, cool, if not, you have made a new friend, many people see someone socially testing the dating waters, and sometimes it gets a bit serious, other times its a friendship thing</p>
<p>you need to be clear what you are expecting, and that "doesn't work out" is like a flag you might be wanting more</p>
<p>Assume you have already hung out with the person as part of a group or even alone as friends and think you see compatibility. </p>
<p>To me, "going out" doesn't imply going steady (but the possibility is certainly there, given time), but it does imply a romantic component that pure friendship lacks.</p>
<p>I was just talking about this with some friends today and wondered what the CC community at large thought about it.</p>
<p>Don't waste too much time, or you will be stuck in the friend zone. Women don't make good friends, they are whiny, and generally they don't like football, which is quite sad. All these women running around saying they cannot find a man, show interest in football, and you will be surprised how easy it is. Back on topic, ask her to watch some DVDs at your house, that way it will be easier to score. Better yet, ask her back to watch some college football, and then score. That would be sweet.</p>

<p>What an endearing boor joev is! CC would not be the same without him! ;)</p>
<p>To the OP: I agree with MMEI's advice. But Joev IS in fact right that you should not spend too much time in the friend zone. People classify others in a certain category before too long. How long is too long depends on the person, but I don't think you tend to fall in love with someone you've known for a long time.</p>
<p>Just ask her if she wants to go see a movie or go to some campus event with you. </p>
<p>If things go well, get her number and ask her out again sometime soon...and if things don't go so well, just don't be a jerk about it and things shouldn't be awkward.</p>
<p>Unless she's a jerk about it...and if that turns out to be the case, just be glad you don't have to deal with her for more than one class.</p>
