I'm a junior, she's a senior, and she was in one of my classes and sat next to me but isn't and doesn't anymore. I had a crush on her then and never acted upon it. I still see her around a lot, but only in between classes in the hallways and other such, and usually shes with friends. Lately My self esteem and confidence have been getting better, but I'm still kind of shy and have a habit of making things awkward sometimes when trying to talk to people I haven't talked to before. I've never actually asked a girl out, or gone on a date before, and don't talk to many girls because of my shyness. I've also never been really interested in the idea of actually going out with any girl besides her before. It's been a while since that class I had with her and I don't even know if she remembers me and even if she does I feel like I must have seemed like a jerk since I didn't talk to her except once or twice. Plus, I don't even know if she's going out with anyone at the moment, or really anything about her besides a few hints at her personality from our brief chats. So, can I just walk up to her, while shes talking with friends or (hopefully) alone and ask her if she would like to go out with me sometime? I've tried to work up the courage to do this before but couldn't and since its been a while I've had time to over-think it. If she says yes, I still don't even have plans for what we'd do together if she said yes, or what would be appropriate, since I don't know what she was interested in and I don't want her to think I'm just trying to get lucky or something like that. I was hoping, if she said yes, that I could ask her for her phone number right then so we could talk and decide on a thing to do together. If she says no, I'm pretty sure I can take the rejection, but, as I said, I've never done this before and so I don't know that for sure. So, is this ok? Just walking up and "Hey, (name). Would you like to go out with me sometime?" or something like that or would this be a stupid/jackassy thing to do?
