Should I ask a girl out directly or become friends first?
I’m 21 and in university. I’m not shy and I usually approach girls at clubs, but I’m wondering what’s the best way to approach a girl I actually think is my type.
If I meet a girl at university and I’m genuinely interested in her, do I just talk to her for a bit and ask her out on a date, or should I try to become friends first and see what happens naturally?
I don’t want to become “friends” with someone while secretly hoping she’ll eventually date me. I’d rather be straightforward, but I’m curious what other people think works better around our age (21–22).
What do you guys usually do?
