There is a girl at the bar that I’ve seen around, but never really talked to for the past year and a half. I never talked to her because everytime I saw her she gave me a mean scowl. Until recently I brought it up to someone that she always seems like she hates me. That same day she ended up adding me on Facebook. I accepted it. Next time I went I. There she tried talking to me but I was wrapped up a group of friends. It took me by surprise but we (me and friends) went and did our own thing after I talked to her for a minute. Next week I went in again and she got near me. I decided to talk to her for a bit and ask her if she wanted to play pool, she declined but was really nice talking to me. She ended up having her group of friends (along with two other guys) over there to play pool with her. She seemed to like flirting with those guys which threw me off. This week I was hoping to talk to her again but she was with a group of friends all night and I didn’t want to barge in on that. Well I thought to myself last night if I should message her on Facebook and ask to hang out and shoot pool for a bit this Saturday so that I can talk to her more in a more direct and more of an alone setting then maybe if it goes well I can ask her out for an official date if she does seem to like me.
main question: Is this approach a good idea (asking her for a casual hangout first then asking her out officially in person)?
another question: she was flirting with other guys the week before right in front of me (practically), should I take this as attention needing behavior before considering?
