Possibly. Just make sure you follow rules 1 and 2

Ffs just think of a date and ask...she gave you every green light a girl can be reasonably expected to give.
Don't try to make it friends, make your intentions clear from the start.
If we're splitting hairs I'd probably call if you can manage to project confidence in a phone call.

This!🙌
Girl here; OP, she likes you!
She approached you for help, not some other guy in the gym. Asking for help is a way we initiate.
She gave you her number; women know “hang out” is code for dating/sex.
Ask her out before she wonders if she misread you and auto-rejects.
Don’t hesitate to act when you want a girl. It’s called “sweeping her off her feet” for a reason.
Agree 100% about calling.

Thanks! I think I’m just more confused as to when I should explicitly ask her out on a date v just hanging out
[–]Delicious_Ad_1853 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago* (1 child) | Copy Link
If you want to date her, ask her on a date. Always. Nothing good comes from that whole "pretend to be 'just friends' for awhile" thing. Always be honest about your intentions.
Edit: you don't necessarily have to use the "date" word, but don't try to pretend like it's not a day either. There's nothing wrong with a little Heisenberg Uncertainty (on her end), but if the situation ever needs to be clarified, make sure it's clarified as "a date". If she's not down for that, you want to find out before your feelings are over the top.

All of this is good stuff - she gave you her number, she's open to spending time with you. Also, do a first little "get together/hangout/date" thing, if she's interested in more, she'll find a way - the subject of significant others will likely come up, she'll use body language and light touches to communicate further interest, etc.
Also, you guys these days are so lucky to live in an age of text messages. Those can be used to further indicate interest after the initial hanging out.

Men are literally the dumbest animal to ever roam this earth.
[–]borko781 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This here was pretty obvious but girls can be VERY confusing, frustrating and annoying. We men are often oblivious yes but sometimes girls can be fuckin absurd
[–]MikeAlphaGolf 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
She’s given you her number and agreed to hang out. So do that.
[–]Indian_Cap 5 points6 points7 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You are golden. Go for it.
[–]BonsaiDiver 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ask her out, the worst that can happen is that she says "no." Just be sure to protect your heart and don't fall in "love" with her until you are sure about her.
Good Luck.
[–]Sleuth65 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
What part of she approached you, she gave you her number and she agreed you should hang out makes you think she isn’t interested enough? You’re trying to define a line between “hanging out” and dating instead of seeing the light. This great situation literally fell into your lap and you’re confused because it didn’t happen through an app? Just go out and see where things lead.

If you wanna check whether she is single or not just politely ask her amidst the conversation that Is she seeing someone at the moment? You'll get the answer and if she isn't with someone else just ask her out for a coffee, drinks or a small stroll down the city.
[–]oreopimp 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Girls are imo never 100% single. Usually there’s always some form of companionship, even orbiters or male “friends”…often something casual. If a girl brings it up it’s all in the way she says it. Anything said outside of married or boyfriend just ask “marriage material or casual?” Or “serious or casual?” Then depending just say “i think we’d have fun, let’s hang out sometime”
Better is to have some small plan or fun you’re already going to do and invite her along. If she tells you don’t expect anything or you aren’t going to have sex just tell her “I appreciate you thinking of me in that way, but who said anything about sex, I barely know you, but I think you’d be fun company” or something like that
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I like your perspective, but the funny thing is that even if a girl is surrounded by a clan of orbiters in her dm or inbox. I would say she doesn't want any of them LoL, the guy she wanna be with is somewhere else and preferably above the competition that has lined up for her. It is also true that at any given moment girls have far more options at their fingertips than their male counterparts. Better deal for a guy would be to enjoy this female nature by interacting more and more without expecting anything in return which would ultimately get him out of desperation and unleash his authentic character.
[–]oreopimp 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I shouldn't have mentioned the orbiters as I figured it would confuse the issue, as there are always orbiters or male friends that have emasculated themselves hoping to be magically anointed by pussy for their crimes of self-torture
What I mean is this: just assume a girl is not fully single. She is likely at the very least getting casually fucked. There is likely one guy she calls when she is bored or alone to come and rail her. This is often truer than you think and the times it is not she is either in a relationship or is on a kind of sex sabbatical.
[–]Pitchiker 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just go for it :) As already mentioned, she approached you first so she is definitely interested in you !!!
[–]modernsaiyan 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Bro just ask her to join you for casual dinner, and go for a drink after. Doesn’t really matter whether you label it as a date or not, your only concern is whether you two get along.
After you’ve both got some alcohol in your system, you can ask if she’s seeing anyone atm, how long it’s been since her last relationship etc
[–]britishgent60 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just a simple “hey I’m free from (insert time) this week, let me know if you want to go out for dinner or do something in the day time”. It’s clear she has good intentions otherwise she wouldn’t have given you her number. But giving her a day date or an evening date leaves no pressure from her side.
[–]badman20129928 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Geezer she approached you. She is clearly interested. Go and secure the bag .
[–]Tankerdood 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Ask her out to go do something SHE enjoys.

Bruh the third base coach is waving you around, standing

Dude just ask her for lunch after the gym. Or whatever. Arrange to workout the same time on a day and then after that go for a bite to eat.
[–]Sensitive-Permit-877 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If she gave you her number and talked with her she wants to go out with you on a date. Do not chat alot on the phone. Your goal is to only give your currency (time ) in person. High value men dont text all day. They setup dates and thats that. So best way make a plan like heres an example. Hey on thursday meet me at this place at 3pm. Wear something comfortable like a hoody its a bit cold and comfortable shoes. Also how do you like your coffee? See you at thursday. I laid out a plan but didnt reveal what we are doing. She will be thinking about thursday all week she will be showing her friends they will all make up scenarios in their heads. She will be constantly thinking about you
[–]Flyleaf531 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sounds like u dont need any help man It seems like she pushed towards it
If you still struggle i have a classic Tell her you have been craving some random food of your choice and ask if she would like to join
[–]higordemenezes 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I girl approaches you, starts conversation, gives you her number, agrees on hanging out sometime soon and you still don’t know if she’s interested?! Just go for it bro
[–]facinateion 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Update - we went out and got dessert and ended up talking for about 4 hours. Convo started light and progressed to deeper things like past relationships, personality etc. She was upfront and said she hated texting but asked if I’d be down to do a home dinner together later in the week. Hoping to follow up for a second date - wish me luck!

Don’t ask her over text imo, you don’t need to over text her/get to know her super well over text since she goes to the same gym as you, if you two go alot you’ll see each other and you’ll have the rapport to easily approach and start talking to her in person, ask her to hang out at the end of your convo w her at the gym.
This does 2 things: 1. Establishes non needyness bc she’ll see you aren’t super overly eager to text her 2. Allows you to easily and low risk approach her at the gym (and for her to approach you again!) and show her who you are man to woman in person, so you can use all that body language and vocal tonality and whatnot. And asking her out in person will do a better job of showing her you got a pair of nuts between your legs than doing it over text
[–]Woujo 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Wrong he needs to just ask her over text. There is nothing more needy than hanging out at the gym hoping he runs into her. You are overthinking it.
[–]No_Raspberry3670 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
When did I say he should hang out at the gym and hope he runs into her?
