How do I go about asking a female friend to hang out that I have already asked out previously?

Question

So thats the jest of it I asked her out last year and she was in the process of finishing up a divorce. It scared her off to say the least. We talked about it after a week or so and she told me she needed time to find herself again, which i completely understand coming from the situation she did.

Shes shown interest in little ways and our other friends see it. she stares at me alot, she comes visits me at work. brightens up when we bump into each other whereever, random touches. I know that she is comfortable around me and I feel that she does like me at least a bit. Shes a little shy too so its not like this is stuff that happens with everyone around her.

When we hang out at parties, group functions or if we bump into each other at the bar or whatever we spent the rest of the night hangin out with each other and not with our groups that we came with.

So heres how it is. How do I go about asking her to hang out as just us without making it sound like its a date??? TY

Also. Yes I do still like her. shes a great girl and we get along super. I want to hang out with her just the two of us have a good time and see if there is something there, or if something more develops.

make sense?

Thanks for advice guys. Its not something I have to worry about anymore....these things happen.

Answer 1

Mkae it sound like a date!!! End of discussion. Why not? If she balks, then ask her directly if she only wants a platonic relationship with you. It takes courage, but you will get your answer.

Answer 2

just ask her if she is busy and if not how about going for a drink later or some coffe or maybe play some pool
