Ask her out. I had the same thing happen to me and what's worse was I found out she would have said yes. I'm curious about this. How did you find out? Texted her after she moved and got the guts to ask what she would have said if I asked her. Looking back I don't think anything could have went pass a date but you never know.

Ask her out! "Hey! I'm free this Friday, and I'd love to take you out for dinner if you're available." If she's busy, "OK! Well, the offer stands whenever you're free. " Short and sweet, clear it's a date, not intimidating, and you don't lose face if she says no... it's just a casual invitation, not a major love confession. TAKE THIS ADVICE!!!! Best post in the thread.

You didn't ask because you need help. You asked because you're insecure and you want reassurance that you shouldn't be. You're blunt, but you're not wrong. Yeah, I suppose I am insecure in this situation because it's completely new to me. I don't take offense to what you said or anything, but I'll fully admit that I'm a bit scared. I went there today but she wasn't working, so perhaps I'll go back tomorrow and if she's there I'll ask her. As far as all the other posts go, I thank you all for taking the time to reply. Truly I do thank you.

You should really do it and just ask. I've been burned too many times by my own fear and then finding out I would have been golden had I just spoken up.

Truly I do thank you. I wasn't trying to be a douche. It's just that, 200 people could tell you that you shouldn't be insecure. It's still going to be scary. Rejection sucks, and it hurts. But it's not the end of the world. You'd think about it for the rest of the day, maybe a little bit the day after, and move on.

Either way, I do appreciate the feedback. I'm going to go later and see if she's there.

I'm glad people thought of the Nirvana song. It is one of my favourites.

Well, no luck today. Ah, well, though, I'll just have to keep trying. Thank God it's not too terribly far away.

Well, I did it. She said she was talking to someone, but she thanked me for the offer and said it was sweet (not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing). But, overall I'm kind of proud of myself for having the confidence to do it.

Good job! Now use that pride and confidence on the next one! Wash, rinse, repeat, until you find success then wash, rinse, repeat again.

Thank you much, guys. I knew if I didn't do it then I'd never do it, so I just had to. I was expecting a no (not because I didn't think I stacked up, but it's just what I expected), but I'm just glad I asked and got that monkey off my back.
