By circumstances, well they're well-founded ones, like her mother is gravely sick.

Of course, I have to wait until she gets better, but then damn..

In life, timing is everything.

If a persons personal situation makes it impossible to consider dating or a social life those who care about them accept that they have to wait for better times.

Never been in love (if that even exists) but if I was, university would prevent it.

Because it's a sensitive time for her. If one's mother is very sick, then I can't see many who would want to be asked out.

My boyfriend (now husband) helped me through a very difficult time (my dad's death).

I am glad he did not wait.
And if he did, we might not be together today!

My sister and my brother in law dated in high school, then broke up. Years later while she was in college, after the passing of my other sister, my brother in law ran into her and talked to her about my sister. They've been married for 20+ years now. I say you can make your move, just be sympathetic and not pushy/needy/demanding.

If you don't even know if she wants to go out with you then how do you know how she feels about being asked out right now? She may think differently than you do. She may appreciate the distraction. She may not be ready. Why don't you just ask her out if that's what you want to do and let her make that decision?
