Her: Hello?
Me: Hey, it's Omniscient.
her: Oh, hey!
You: how are things?
Her: blah blah random woman crap blah blah
You: Wow, interesting. Hey, what are you doing Friday night? I'd like to take you out.
Her: a) I'm free. That sounds great! (you're golden)
b) Sorry I'm busy. (you're screwed)
c) crap, I have plans. how about saturday? (you're golden)


Just man up and do it. The straight approach is always the best. So what if she says no? You barely talk to her anyway, it's not like you're losing a good friend. :dunno:
