How long should you wait if a girl broke up with her boyfriend to ask her out?

Let's say you two have been talking for two months, she broke up with her boyfriend that she had for 5 year, it's been a abusive relationship and he may have cheated on her. How long should you wait to ask her out for a dinner or coffee?

Asking someone out for coffee is a pretty safe bet. But the end of a 5-year abusive relationship? Whew. You'd better wait for some go signals from HER.

I'd just do coffee and walks and talk to the woman. It might take her a long time to heal from such a long, dark haul. Be patient, or move on to a more likely outcome.

Truth is I did ask her for coffee via text. She broke up with him about 2 weeks ago. Coffee isn't bad, I don't think I did anything bad... Now she never responded to that text and doesn't really talk in person. We spoke every single day for 2 months

She likely needed to talk to someone when in the process of breaking up. But doesn't sound like she's ready for anything else.

Could I send you a message personally about this girl? If not its ok.

Sure. that's fine.

You are one of the reasons a lot of women don’t want to have male friends :/
