    You should know when it is appropriate to ask and when not:

    Don’ts:

    • complete strangers
    • people who cannot retreat, e.g. cashiers, waiters and the like, on a busy train/bus in an elevator etc.
    • people clearly not in a space to socialize.
    • asking for sex
    • being ambigious about intentions

    Do’s:

    • people you held a normal conversation with before
    • in a space where they are comfortable and either party can leave easily if things get awkward
    • being clear about it being a date
    • public place with individual privacy, e.g. going out for a coffee
    • no alcohol or other drugs

      This. Also, don’t put them on the spot. If unsure, give your number and let them decide. If she’s interested, she’ll text, if not you haven’t forced her to make a decision on the spot.
