Whats the best way to text a girl to ask her out? shes pretty shy and I fear she might flake because of this, she has told me a number of times she likes me but I still don't have a great level of comfort with her which is one of the reasons I want to meet up with, And increase the level. I also think the low level of comfort may also cause her to flake. Does any one have any good date ideas? I kinda prefer dates with a bit of competition like pool, bowling something that you can compete with her and tease her a bit. I would really appreciate any advice and information on texting her for the date, maybe a routine and just some first date suggestions, thanks.

"Let's grab a coffee."

And why aren't you calling? Or doing this in person?

I realize texting seems easier.... It's also what every other guy will do cause they don't have the balls to call or walk up to her.

Set yourself apart.

Normally I'd agree with Charles Finley, but if she is especially shy she might not answer. My personal suggestion would be text her 1st use a creative funny opener get a bit of a convo going then say something like I gotta run I'll call you in about 20min something along those lines. When you call her set up the date.
Good luck!

If she says she likes him and has said so on a few occasions i'd say just skip all that and just ask her out for a coffee or something. She might be shy but I doubt she would ignore you. Just convince her you'll both have fun and there's no pressure.
