Is it the type of gallery where you can ask her questions about a painting or something one on one?

Just talk to her normally, give her a graceful way out if she doesn't want to and just ask her out.Personally I'd prefer to be invited out in a matey way and then there's no pressure or dateyness. But I'm weird.
I absolutely agree. I for example cannot cope with being asked out at all.

Every time I see that Griff's posted some advice I die a little inside.
I just feel mortified and want the whole ordeal over with as soon as possible. And unfortunately saying no is usually the quickest route out!
Like I said, hanging out as friends and then things happening naturally is the only way anything ever happens to me.

Doesn't work either I tried a hopelessly romantic gesture but was a little to drunk to properly execute the move so just looked like I was a dribbling moron.
But luckily sold my heart to a homeless dude for a half empty bottle of scotch so I got a hole for my pens now its win freakin win!
I'm going to stick to the original plan. When things get awkward, I'll make a joke and get out of it.
With regards to her going back to her friends...she'll either be really happy and going 'He asked me out!' or really embarrassed because she said 'No' and I can stop buying pieces of art.
Just tell her you couldn't help admiring her gazumbers.
She'll be like putty mate.

You never know she might be secretly impressed with all the forethought Simon's put into it. He better hope she hasn't read any of the weirder stuff though...
This is the fourth result on Google for Simon Stratton. Does she know your full name?

Can't cope? What do you do? Freeze, like a Mac with the "beachball of doom", as the Mrs calls it?

So that's how you value our advice. It is based on years of watching other people having lives and (them, obviously) starring in movies about people having lives, you know.
And now we've collectively turned into Spike out of "Notting Hill" in your view, apparently.
