so have run into this girl a few times in the elevator... it's not consistent, it could take a few weeks before I see her again. We've talked a bit, i've complimented her but just not got her # or asked her if she is interested in going out sometime. However, I know her name, she has a really unique name and I immediately found her on Facebook. She appears single. So my question is:

a. Should I just wait till I meet her again to ask her out

OR

b. Is it OK to send her a message on FB (which make seem a bit stalkerish? I don't know?) If I send her a message on FB perhaps I can just say that I looked her up since I did not know how else to get in touch? Or is it a bad idea?

When do you expect you'll see her again? How often do you run into her?

If it will be relatively soon, maybe try in person first. If not, send her a message on Facebook. If she really likes you, she will have no problem with you sending her messages on Facebook.

Is this the one you started a thread about mate?.... " in the elevator " and you were pondering sending flowers?

If so 1000000% go for it as you were well keen and enthusiastic about her which I've not seen from you before

And definitely a) .... In person will do mate

Yes, it's the same girl...

well, I don't want to screw it up but at the same time I just feel I want to ask her soon after the below realization.

so here is the deal, I wanted to ask her out next time we met (which happened today) but I did not because on her FB she has a profile pic with some guy. However, when checking her profile again today (after seeing her in the elevator again) I read a comment on the pic by someone and she had replied that it was her brother. so all this time I just did not approach with the wrong assumption that it was her husband/boyfriend in the picture

Ask her out via Facebook?

Sounds like a weak way to me.

Now, I get it that we do love in an internet/social media network culture, but still, a real man would ask a girl out in person that he sees from time to time, not via Facebook stalking.

ok, will ask her out in person... should've done it today I will just have to be patient now. I do know she goes to the gym (which is in a neighboring facility) in the afternoons sometimes but I don't know if it's everyday.

Hahaha awwwwwww tell ya what I feel ya with a LOL.

Right down to business!!!!!.....( As you don't want to screw up )

How do you think your encounters went down with her? Basically as she given you ANY indication whatsoever?, and have you been purely platonic or had any flirty banter?

What did you compliment her on and how did she react?

@LondonCowboy... I think my compliments went down very well, just subtle compliments on her style/look etc. without being too forward. I would say definitely receptive but there is only one way to find out if she wants to go out and that is to ask her direct LOL!

Ask her out in person. FB is a hit and miss way.
