I believe the Fluther consensus was that girls can ask guys out, and if a guy doesn’t ask you out, he may be shy rather than uninterested.

So how? Are the rules the same as guys asking girls out? Can she do it over email or does it have to be face to face? I can conceive of:

The simple way: Hey, we should get a drink sometime.
The direct way: I think we should go out on a date. Do you?
The awkward way: Do you want to like, I don’t know, hang out? Like a date kind of hang out? I mean like go on a date. You and me.

How else is this done? What’s the preferred way to do it?
