One of the best tips to follow when learning ways of how to ask a girl out is knowing the right time to do so. A girl who recently broken up with her boyfriend will not be ready to jump into something quickly, however depending how you approach the situation can make a big difference. Trying to hit on her while shes feeling down can work in your favor but you want to keep in mind not to over do it because her guard will be up and she may think you are trying to advantage of her. A little cute compliment and perhaps a suggestion to go for some coffee to take her mind off her sorrow. Being asked out at a neutral location will allow you to be able to show her that not all guys are the same as well as show she has a friend she can rely on and that is important.
