I went to this party the other day. There was this lady there that kept staring at me whenever she was near by and I was chatting to someone. I introduced myself but didn't get a chance to talk to her again that night.

I'm going to be in a group of people and she'll be there as well on the weekend.

Do you think it's worth trying to ask her out?

I know how this sounds but I missed a lot of this stuff growing up due to bad decisions.

I feel like a teenager with this stuff.

Yeh this weekend sounds like a good chance to actually get to chat to her a bit and get a bit of a feel of things. Then if it feels good absolutely ask her out :)

maybe just chat at the party for a while and see how it goes , then ask her out ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿคž

Does the staring thing mean she wants me to talk to her? I know it's a dumb question but I honestly don't know ๐Ÿ˜”

Alternatively you may have spinach in your teeth, or sheโ€™s trying to figure out the seams in something interesting youโ€™re wearing. (Guilty of the later many a time)

I stare at people who I find attractive, before I realise I'm doing it. No harm in chatting with her next time you see her, and asking if she wants to get a coffee sometime :)

Worst case: she says no (no biggie)
Good case: you make a new friend!
Great case: you dare for a number of years
Best case: you grow old together

My metaphor lost it at the end, but my point is, you don't know until you do :) give it a shot!
