okay. i am straight, but most of my friends aren't, so i have experience in this topic. how old are you, first of all? this is important, cuz it can be hard to determine how t ask without knowing more details. second of all, does she seem to like you? otherwise, just go with your gut. something short and sweet, like "hi, could i talk to you?" then like lead her away from other peple. then say something to the effect of "so i think you are very (insert the things you like about her) and i was wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime?" something short and sweet should do the trick. good luck!!!!! keep us updated!
