Ask my brother's friend out?

[FirstDates]

I'm almost 30. I shouldn't still need a pep talk and advice on boys but somehow I still do.

 

Nutshell version, I saw one of my brother's friends at a thing, he called out to me and we chatted for a few minutes.

 

He is my type, we have a lot in common and I find him ridiculously good looking. I've been trying my hat at online dating and haven't seen to much to write home about. It has made me a bit bolder about approaching guys. But I don't want to be too forward and scare off potential guys.

 

He added me back on Instagram (I know right!)-- I already have his phone number from ages ago and we are Facebook friends.

 

I would like to ask him out for coffee but am needing some advice or encouragement.

 

What exactly should I say.

 

I was think of Instagram messaging "Hey X, it was fun running into you the other day. Any chance you'd be interested in going to coffee sometime?"

 

Advice?

Ask him out! Why are you feeling reluctant? Nothing ventured, nothing gained!

I know women who have married men after asking them out on the first date
