Search Results: asking for a girl''s number

I just started getting to know a girl, that I’m interested in, but I don’t get to talk to her very much, since she’s always working most of the time, when I see her. I’m thinking about asking for her phone number or Instagram account, so I can stay in touch with her? Which one would be better to ask for?

So i met this girl at uni through some common friends. We talked for a few minutes then we went our separate ways. Few days later, i hear rumors from one my friends that she has a crush on me and that i should approach her. Few days later from that, uni closed due to the virus and we started studying online (never met her since). Few months later, she follows me on instagram and replies to one of my stories and starts convo. Now, i feel like i should make a move on her so that she won’t slip away from me. Should i ask for her number and find my way into asking her out or should i wait till we get back to uni to do that in person?

You are a beautiful girl and you know this, not because you're conceited, but because you are reminded by others often, perhaps even approached by a lot of guys. If this happens to you a lot than answer the following.

Do you get sick of guys asking you out in public because so many scumbags, perverts , creeps, or aggressive men have made it to where you already built to say no, hurting every guys chances of getting your number. In other words, are chances low for a guy to succeed on some level because too many bad experiences made the idea of approaching girls, not ideal anymore and results in not even wanting to be asked out, in general? Or is it still okay to try? Would you rather be asked I'm person in public, or in your social media inbox? Neither?

If you do not mind being approached, obviously in an appropriate way what is the best way to do it?

.
I created this approach to test on the field:

"the low risk low reward"

Which is basically the following steps 1. Approaching someone out of their league 2. confessing attraction 3. Immediately admitting he knows his chances are slim to none 4. Explaining his goal: which is not exactly to acquire your phone number or Ig but to learn and cushion the rejection, the attempt was experimental, to gain experience, tips for future attempts with other women.
The guy who approaches believes if he could survive, gain experience, and be able say friends he legitimately asked the hottest girl out, the attempt would be a success just from the Knowledge and experience alone
5. Wait for response (saying all that shit before she can say no.) this approach was formally called " the Shoot yourself in the foot "

before answering, would this nullify the confidence level that women are drawn to? or would you respect his attempt in trying to approach women in kind fashion and wish him luck, is it weird to bein friend, non romantic

How do I ask a girl out who is really attractive and be able to continue?
