Girls - How important is setting when he asks you out?

Sometimes if you prepare to set-up the 'perfect' setting to ask a girl out, it becomes obvious that you want to ask her out. That can be a scary and sometimes intimidating for the girl. As long as you two are alone or 'set-apart' from the group for a short-time, that is a good and proper to ask her out. Spontaneous is best! Over planning or over thoughtfulness usually kills the romanticism behind the gesture. If something goes slight astray it can be disappointing. Ask her out in a casual and relaxed setting -- that is best. And honestly, spontaneity is a romantic gesture in itself.

Make it casual. It is just easier that way. But give subtle hints that you are in to her (girls will read into your signs). Make sure she knows, because she will let you know. By either shutting you down, or by flirting (generally speaking, girls are subjective). She will analyze everything. Its easiest when you are just hanging out. Its just dating, but when you want her to be your girlfriend, make it intimate. Distinguish the difference.

Not important really, as long as it's not in front of all your friends or her friends. But I guess it might be better if it was sort of quiet and in a more private place so you have a full attention and she gets the idea that you're asking her out on a date.

The key is keeping things casual so there's very little pressure (for both of you). Don't talk to a woman with a goal in mind. Just talk to her to be sociable. Do that and they'll start asking you out, or you'll ask them out and not ever realize it. By stepping back from the interaction mentally and just communicating with a woman things flow much more naturally.
