A little background into the woman at hand...

We met 2 years ago at an art gallery. It was brief and after that we didnt talk again. Maybe 6 months ago we started talking on facebook and have a lot in common. I have her phone number, and i want to ask her out for coffee or something but im not sure how to approach this seeing as that i haven't actually spoken to her or seen her in 2 years. I am not sure if i should just keep it to facebook chat and ask her out casually on there, or if I should actually call her. This is a wierd situation for me because we really dont know each other other than on the net.

You've met in person, and you've rekindled it on the internet.

I'd say it would be acceptable to ask her out for coffee on Facebook chat, and once the relationship becomes personal again, you can ask if it's okay that you call her.

Calling her out of the blue, elevating the relationship without her knowledge ahead of time... not cool.

I would ask her for her number on face book (even thought I have it). Then I would call her and ask her out. I think women like when men step out from behind the monitor.

Let me quote myself from another recent thread for sound advice:

Go to visit, see how things go, and just play it by ear. If you're getting good vibes from her just go along with it. I'm betting that things will go quite well based on what you said about her. Be a gentleman, make sure the conversation flows, and then "move in for the kill"












If that fails then...

Yeah. On second thought don't listen to me. Listen to the other guys.

Send her a Facebook message or email (or during chatting) asking if she wants to continue your Facebook chat over a cup of coffee some time.

If she says yes, go from there.

If she says no, at least you tried


Actually, that's how my gf and I got together

Here's a slick dating move:

When you're next to the girl, do a faux yawn, raising your arms above your head. When you lower your arm, have it conveniently come around her shoulder.

Chicks love that. Works pretty well on Jive1 also.

I always assumed you were like bustin some mad rhymes on the street corner when she walked up to you and was like:

"Yo, you think you all dat dawg?"

and you was like:

"Yo girl, I got the mad skillz, yo wanna hang?"

Am I close?

This. If you have interesting common topics, the question should naturally flow.

"Hey, that's a pretty interesting chat we're having right now. You want to try chatting in person some time?"
