How long to wait before asking a girl to be your girlfriend?
Question Posted Saturday April 7 2012, 3:28 pm
So when is the right time to ask a girl to be your girlfriend? I'v been friends with this girl for a couple of months now - we went out to the movies about 4 times, we text occasionally, chat on Facebook etc. She obviously likes to hang out with me but I'm not sure if her intentions are purely friendly or I might have a shot. Anyway... On one hand, I hear people say you must NEVER get into the "friend zone" because you're never getting out of it; on the other hand, a friend of mine told me it takes TIME for a woman to grow attached to a man, meaning that being friends first is somewhat necessary. So should I wait for a couple of months more or go for it? I don't wanna blow it by asking her to soon, and I don't wanna wait too long either...

Well I would agree with your friend about forming a friendship. It's great to have that time to get to know each other first. It makes it easier to build a relationship on.
My boyfiend and I knew each other for a couple of months then we officially started dating for a month like going to the cinema etc then he asked me out the following month.
You don't want to leave it too long because if she does have mutual feelings she will start to get impatient.
In my opinion seeing as you have gone on a good few dates known her for a couple of months I would say go for it.
Do you guys flirt a lot? that can be a great indication.
Put yourself out there you will never know unless you take the chance. If it feels like the right time do it :)
hope this helps
Best of luck and much <3
