There's this girl I'm a little fond of. I would have already asked her out, but two items are making me hesitate:
1) She turned 21 recently, and I'm 19, going on 20 in a few months.
2) We work on problem sets for my theoretical neuroscience class together. We were in a study group for a differnet class all last semester, but this semester for another class it's just me and her.
Now, for the latter, we get along quite well, make a lot of small talk (both online and in person), and we walk to and from some classes and recitations. The only concern I find here is how well that will continue to work out (since these sets take about 10 hours each and pretty much require group effort, we would want to continue working together) if anything ever goes wrong. I would be perfectly okay and reasonable while working in case we break up or spew some bad-blood, but I don't know about her (I wouldn't be surprised either way). Does anyone have any personal experience they can possibly share?
The former is probably the primary reason I'm hesitant. I've never dated an older girl, even though we're taking two or three classes together (so, as far as academics go, I'm at her level).. Anyone have any advice? Especially considering she goes bar-hopping with her friends sometimes.
Now, i don't have much experience asking girls out, because my experience thus far has only involved me being asked out or befriending girls and having that just suddently blossom into a relationship. So if I was to go through with this, I would probably ask her out to dinner and a movie or something. Also, is asking someone out on AIM (whom you chat fairly frequently with) bad etiquette? Should I wait and do it in person?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
