I agree with some points with AznPersuasion
Its ALWAYS better to do stuff in person. Of course comfort is key; you ALWAYS need to build attraction and comfort , sometimes that requires conversation on the phone or texting before you go out. But this isnt the case for you....shes already clearly attracted and interested, unless there is some obstacle in the way (which there doesnt seem to be, especially now that the bf is out of the picture) texting is unnecessary.
Anything you do in text is wasted when it could be done in real life. If you ask her out early on , with enough attraction already built, then your intentions are clear. With that clear intention you can guide the date in whichever way you want....dont have to pussyfoot about it. On the date Kino escalate, seduce, etc.....you cant do that on the phone.
oh, and by the way, be fun and flirty when you do ask her out...dont be robotic about it. She will more than likely flirt back or whatever...dont let this go on for too long, keep it short, be in control, keep her wanting more
