I'd like to do this one right. Can anyone help me.

I got some helpful replies from here last time so I'll try again.

A girl comes into my work about once a week or every other week. The first time she came in I found out where she worked. We talked for a couple minutes, I made her laugh a little, and she left. The second time I found out she comes in often and we talked for another couple minutes. The third time I was too busy to talk so she left fast. The fourth and most recent time went well. I made her laugh again, we seemed to have a little in common, and I introduced myself finally.

When I was little I was in a class of 15 kids and anyone who had a crush on someone else was known fast and it was embarrassing. So I developed a very good knack for hiding that I like a girl (stupid I know). So today I still struggle with flirting. I can talk to any girl but getting it across to them that I am attracted to them is very hard. I'd have a better time hitting on a guy than a girl.......

So when next she comes in I'd like to tell her she's pretty (because I certainly think she is) but in a way that comes of natural not creepy. I'd like to ask her out but I want to do it in a way that is inviting not scary for her. Basically: I want to do this right so that if she says no it's all her; it's not something I did wrong, as I often seem to do. I was thinking of asking her to go shooting with me, my cousin, and her boyfriend (we're making this plan anyway). It's a nice outdoorsy group activity that's a lot of fun. I figure being in a group takes the pressure off, and I can find out right then if she's and out doors girl which would be just my type. FYI: I live in Arizona so shooting guns is pretty common for us.

Give me your opinions please. She and I are developing a nice rapport I think so I don't want to rush this but I don't want to dick around either. I want asking her out to be inviting and casual not forced and creepy. I think the latter is my tendency and I must break this if I hope to start having success.

Just say "I would really like to get to know you better. Are you free for coffee anytime soon?"

Your best route for "natural not creepy" is NOT to compliment her physical appearance. You're best off just straight up asking her out. Trust me, it gets easier after the first couple times.

Yes the coffee line works better...ask for a lunch meet....
