Answer 1

If you want to go slow, you can start by asking her out on a SEMI-romantic date. Technically, a group thing would qualify but based on experience, tag-along friends can almost totally cancel out any romance and can be misinterpreted.

Try to think of an activity or hobby you both like short of dinner and a movie and then ask her casually if she'd like to go. If she goes, make sure you BOTH enjoy (not just her since you'll seem stiff). You can work your way up the romance scale on that basis.

Answer 2

Well yeah if you ask her out and she says no it'll be awkward, but not the end of the world. And I know you don't want to hear this but just take a bit of a risk and ask her out. Although my advice is take it slow. Don't just ask her out on a date, especially if you two don't talk that much now. Just ask her to hang out with you, but make it a group thing with a couple of mutual friends (this will make her more inclined to say yes. Sometimes when a girl says no it isn't that they don't like you its just that going out on a date with a guy can be scary, especially if she is kind of shy. By making it a group thing you take a lot of the pressure off until you guys are comfortable enough with each other to go out just the two of you on a real date). See how the group thing goes and then either hang out some more going on double date type things or if things feel right, then ask her out on a date. If she says yes to the date, take her some place comfortable not some ultra-romantic, high pressure thing like a fancy restuarant. And actually ask her out on a date, don't just ask her to go steady or be your girlfriend or whatever. Actually ask her to go some where specific with you.

Good luck, hope things work out for you.
