Yeah. It's best to "tell" a girl out. That sort of leaves them without the option of declining. It also tends to catch them offguard since I guess not many people use it. Something like, "Let's go see [name of movie] this weekend. I really want to see that one." It gives them the entire weekend so they really can't play the "I'm busy that night" card, and leaves them open to negotiate a time. Then afterwards you get her number and tell her you'll call her later. Call her, ask where to pick her up, and after the movie tell her you're hungry and if she doesn't mind getting a bite to eat.

Of course it doesn't have to be a movie, but that's a classic line used in a good form. It could be anything. Ice skating, local concert, (I wouldn't recommend clubbing unless you're a really strong dancer cause you don't want to embarress the hell out of yourself on a first date), rock climbing, cafe with music or poetry, mini golf, etc.

Best to find a place that you can talk (which is also why movies aren't good) cause you need to be able to talk and hold a conversation. If you go to a movie, and drop her off, that's not a date. She could've done that and had just as much "fun" with anyone. You need a place where you can continue your flirting and get to know her a bit. Make sure that she's someone you want to date. If not, then you know not to make future plans, and if so, continue taking her out and getting to know her better. And better. And better. And then one night . . . . best.
