When asking a woman out for the first time and when on said date,

>>18398014
No normal woman would assume that you ask her out on a date without romantic/sexual interest.

Why haven't you been flirting with her beforehand? Don't just do something like casually going out for coffee and then being a fucking sperg. A woman instantly knows whether or not she would have sex with you upon meeting you for the first time. If you didn't make a big impression on her before, then you're going to be shit out of luck now.

My only chances to get to know her to date have been after classes when there are also several other students vying for advice and conversation.

I've found it hard to go from zero to flirty in those circumstances, but as time has gone on our conversations have grown and it turns out we have a lot of common interests. That is why I think it is feasible in her mind that she could take it as a purely friendly proposal.

There are things that I could definitely interpret as flirting from our conversations, but it's hard for me to determine how much of that is just her innate playfulness/touchy-feelyness because I get the sense that she's very attentive to everyone she speaks to.
Additionally, I simply don't have a lot of experience doing this kind of thing. I know a lot of it comes naturally in the moment but I feel like I'm facing a battle of how much I should let my feelings of attraction shine through.

Some salient points in amongst the lulz

Forget coffee, just propose.
I saw this yoga instructor on the TV once get married to some fed the day they met.

Fuck it. Why not. Cut to the chase and all that.

>>18398199
Don't propose.
>>18398014
Just tell her you find her attractive and that the two of you should go on a coffee date.

I guess when you boil it down, that's really the bit that has been bugging me; whether or not it is too much to say "I find you attractive" in the broadest sense of the word.

It seems harmless enough to me, I'm just over-worrying about things in part because I want everything to go perfect if I'm going to risk losing a great yoga teacher.

But in a nutshell, what you said is basically how I planned to go about the matter.
