Well, I waited about 3 months before asking my girlfriend out. First, I became her friend. Got a chance to get to know her and her personality. Not just by looks, but by who she truly is. Then after 3 months of getting to know her and seeing what kind of person she really is, I realized she is not just some girl looking to play me, use me, or treat me like some piece of meat in the freezer. Finally, I asked her out and then she said Yes! It's that easy!
