In short the girl I live with is absolutely lovely. We have only known each other a couple of months, but I really enjoy her company and appreciate her values. I think we would be a great match. She told me she was joining a dating website and felt jealous straight away.
She is staying with her parents for a week. Therefore I think I'm going to text her and ask her out to dinner in London one night next week. I think it would be easier and less awkward than doing it under the same roof when we would have to travel home together...
Thoughts? I'll update this with progress reports. This could crash and burn... Hopefully not.

If she says no, you're going to make the household super awkward.

If she says no, you're going to make the household super awkward. And if you don't ask, it might make it awkward, too. It's already a pretty sticky situation when it gets to this point. Dating a roommate is really risky, but it sounds like you've got your mind made up to try it.

ABORT! ABORT! ABORT MISSION! Really, Mozenrath is right. Something like this rarely works out in the real world. Take this advice; get yourself ready for things not going your way. But I will wish you good luck anyways.

well I think at this point it would be awkward either way so you might as well just ask her anyway. at least with that option you might get a fun reltionship out of the deal.

I've thought about the awkward thing a lot guys. It's awkward vs heartbreak if I miss the boat.
We are both recently single, it's one of those deals where I think I'll be crushed if I properly fell for her and I have to sit down and watch her go for dates with another guy... then she brings him home one day etc etc.

This isn't going to end well for anyone.

I would say screw being worried about things being awkward. Take a shot. If she says no, then you deal with it. Few things are worse than missed chances.

Ok, here's what you do - start stealing stuff from her. Little things like hair clips, toothbrushes, used panties, etc. When she starts noticing them missing she'll start exploring around the house looking for them. She should hopefully walk right in on you just as you're smelling them. Then you ask her out. It's foolproof.

You've more to gain by asking her out, so go for it. Worry about what might happen when it actually happens.
Good luck.

Doesn't sound like a great idea to me... just seems like it would be too awkward if she turned me down. Hope it works out for you, but I don't think I could bring myself to do it.

Asking out your room mate? Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it slow man! You should start things off with a nice low pressure situation. Like making a porn with her set in your place of employment!

Maybe it's just the hopeless romantic in me.. But I think it's cute.
Go for it

If you really think it's worth pursuing, go for it.

If you're successful, at least the subject of "my place or yours?" won't be difficult to decide.

I'm sure nothing can go wrong here.
Now excuse me while I stand dangerously close to the edge of this train platform.

NO! Don't shit where you eat!
At least let it happen organically. You're watching a flick, your arm goes around her, she rubs your arm a bit, you look in her eyes, you kiss, you have bad breath, she seems not to mind, you panic anyways, you get up quickly, you accidentally elbow her in the face, she stumbles back, she steps on the cat, the cat yells, she doesn't notice the tv coming up, she crashes into the tv, the tv falls off the wall, you try to help, you trip over the table, glass breaks, you look down at your hands covered in shards of glass, she sees you, you see her, you both scream at the horror, the cat freaks out and runs through the sparks from the tv, cat catches fire, smoke alarm goes off, sprinklers go off, cat gets put out, your computer gets wet, you're unable to write on FAN forums.
So, tldr, don't do it.
