how to ask out a high school crush.?

I recently got back in touch with a girl I knew in high school. I never really got a chance to get to know her very well at all in high school. But we've been talking for a while and I am attracted to her, and I'm thinking I'd like to ask her out, but how would I go about doing that? Suggestions? I was thinking after a while asking her if she's found a guy yet. Maybe that's enough of a hint. and I guess I should mention that we're both 20

I am definitely going to get to know her better, but I would like to make sure that I won't get stuck in the friend zone as I have in the past. If you need any details, just ask.

here's how she responded to one of my e-mails...

"Hey ****!

Golf is actually going very well.. shot a 74 this fall for my lowest college tournament round! School is easy as always, keeping a high GPA with minimal effort haha (but i'm sure you know all about that). I can fix that slice you know!

Hope you're having a nice Christmas break,

******"

Update:

my whole, I guess you could say problem, with this is that we haven't talked or seen each other for about 2 years. I'm just not sure how to go about it

    1st off congrats u knw wat u want....

    U DO NOT wnt to be stuck in that friend pond cause once they consider u as a friend u will always be a friend...

    so since u just got in contact with her dont rush and take things slow.....

    i call this method the step down approach

    id suggest u keep the emails going for another week...

    then start chatting via msn or anything for bout a week... (if u guys r online together for quite a while u can take it a step further) (the phone number).

    during these festive season holiday greetings are normal so send her one for New Year's and wait for her reply...

    if she replies with happy new year only (theres nothing there yet) however it u get a happy new year greeting along with take care or keep in touch u can take it a step further again.

    so now the phone call.... time to put the ball in her court and led her take the lead for once

    so give her a call and just say hey, wats going, tell her its been a while and that u guys shud hang out. say something like i knw ur busy with uni and golf but if u do find any free time give me a call id love to catch up again.. (here she mite on the spot say ok and i guess ur good) but if she doesn't

    follow steps below:

    here u shud get a call as u have successfully opened a set and left the ball in her side of the court so she needs to make the next move...

    wait a week or so....if no invitation send me an email we'll try another method

    all the best mate

    hav a lil faith hope and desire

    with some confidence and believe that u r special and u do have something to offer this girl that others don't..

    Well.....yeah I do have a crush, but I wouldn't call it "the high school crush" because I just met him this year. He's a nice guy and athletic which I think is why we started talking (because we had sports in common) The bad thing is I don't have the guts to tell him how I feel either xD I think what we fear is rejection, but I mean its just rejection. Yes, that is easier said then done, but that's reality....its just rejection. I don't know how other girls have the confidence to ask a guy out I mean isn't the guy supposed to ask the girl out?! Anyways, good luck with him Mimi and remember its just rejection! x)

    Ok, first of all you need to handle this sitiuation correctly b/c if you want to stay friends you have to go about it a certain way. #1, the email is very friendly and casual, do you think she is open to having a deeper relationship with you. #2 if you think there's a chance go about it very casually, I would say something along the lines of :you know what, I would like to take you out to dinner, would that be ok, b/c thats the easiest way you get into it, then once you go out m/b be like you know what your gonna think this is so funny I had a crush on you in high school, hehe, and see how she reacts, Her reaction to that will tell you alot about how she would feel about you making a moveor not. If you just really like this girl and do't care what happens go full force, if you would want to maintain a friendship go about it very carefully!

    Goodluck!

    Ask her out for a meal or a movie but as friends for now, get to know her or find out what she's been doing and then make a move to become a couple

    Best of Luck

    Just say hey we should go out some time and see her response to that. Don't wait too long because then you'll be stuck in the friend zone.

    Just be yourself! I should know... I'm a girl.. I've been asked out once or twice so I know how this works. When your asking out a girl that you like, you have to be confident, but flirty (in a way). Ask her something like,"Hey wanna go out for pizza or something?" It really works that's how i found my boyfriend. Just be casual, and she'll like you in no time! Trust me!

    Hope it works out and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

    "hey, you wanna maybe go out to dinner or to a movie? catch up on old times?"

    sounds casual and fun, but slightly flirty. good luck :)
