I'm asking out a girl who I've been friends with for

Ask her about her interests, show genuine interest. Try to make some jokes once you figure out her sense of humour. If all else fails, trying to get her to talk about herself is always good; most people like to talk about themselves, as most people are egocentric. Not saying she's at fault if she likes talking about herself, she's probably a nice girl, it's just normal for many people.

If you stress out and agonize over everything you say, you'll seem stilted and disinterested as she'll think you're not paying attention. That, or you project weakness. So try not to. It's hard not to, I know, but once something's been said it's been said. Only a 20CHA chad like me can save a slip-up. :^)

For real, though, try to focus on her interests and finding common ground. Most girls think that the basis for a good relationship is things in common, and that's very true.

Good luck! Don't freak out! After all, she agreed to hanging, so she doesn't hate you. You're starting with an advantage, and you just need to turn the slight friendship into happy, safe, romantic feels. It's manageable. I believe in you.
