Is it better to ask a girl for her number or ask her if I can take her out? after meeting her?

Speaking from a 26 year old woman’s perspective, I think either or would be appropriate! Or even a combination of both. Ex: ‘I’d love to get to know you more and potentially get together sometime, could I have your number?’ Or anything along those lines.

Its understandable and expected to be nervous about asking that whether you’re a guy or girl (especially in person), but in this day and age/modern day dating, I think any girl would be extremely appreciative of a guy approaching her and asking her for her number and/or to go on a date in real life, as opposed to the typical DM slide in or dating apps used these days. The lack of effort nowadays is sad and discouraging to even attempt dating, when most guys put such little effort in by relying on dating apps or subtle hints on social media.

Long story short, do whatever you’re most comfortable with, either or is great, or both. Don’t overthink it, like I said, especially with todays dating culture, any girl would be beyond flattered to have a guy approach her like that.

If it's a first meeting, simply ask for a number. You need to chat for a bit to see if you're suited. A meeting at a bar or party isn't enough time to make that determination.

Give it a week or two of back and forth talking/texting to see if a date will work.

If you can take her out because then you'll automatically get her number and she'll already know you want to take her out.
