Japanese Beautiful Model

How do I ask her out? She's OLDER than me and ASIAN?

I'm crazy about this girl but I think she's out of my league. First off, she's older than I am ( I'm 20 and she's 27 I think). Secondly, I think all the guys in the whole damn building (she lives in the same floor as me) is crushing on her! At first I was like 'these ppl are crazy, she ain't even that cute' but I realized that it's because she's so smart and humble that ppl just gravitate towards her. when I take the same elevator she remembers me and other ppl by their name and which floor they live and what they talked about last time they saw each other, small things like that but it makes ppl feel important and respected I guess. She does it to me too, like saying 'hi dave' and 'how did it go with that report last week?' and 'how's Daisy?' (my pet dog). I swear to god she not only knows all the people in the building but she also knows all the pets' names! So yeah after a while I start to look forward to meeting her or bumping into her and I get all happy when I do see her. I also noticed that she IS actually really really very pretty and doll-like. She's all shiny hair and soft skin and big eyes and soft hands (she touched me one time accidentally lol, I wish it was intentional but it wasn't) and she smells so nice. I think I'm in love with her and I don't know what to do. How do I tell her I like her when we haven't even talked that much? I'm pretty sure she's single because other guys in the building would spread the word around if she had a BF. Also she's very friendly but she has this you-can't-touch-me aura going on I dunno how to explain it but it's like she's so graceful and just soft-looking that you want to touch her but she might run away if I try to. Oh man I'm so into her I laugh at myself for being so dorky like this. Please help how do I let her know I'm interested? Btw, I'm white and I have no idea how to ask an Asian girl out (she's Philippina-Korean-Japanese). I don't think she was born in US coz her accent is English with a mix of some soft-spoken somehting else.. It's so sexy btw. I heard she was born and raised in Philippines but I've heard other Philippinos and her accent is entirely different. She sounds like Angelina Jolie sometimes. haha I know I sound stalker-ish but I feel like a grade schooler who has a crush on his teacher. Edit: I asked this question yesterday but today I bumped into her and gathered up the courage to take the first step to get closer to her and this is the convo that we had : Her: Oh, hi Dave. How are ya? Me: I'm good... Her: *smiles* silence Me: You're so beautiful. (blurted out, couldn't help it) Her: *laughs* Thank you, man I should have bumped into you this morning, you'd have made my day so much better. than it was 8laughs* Me: No seriously why don't you go into modeling or something ... Her: Haha *stares at me for a second* I love my job though Me: Oh yeah what do you do? Her: I'm an ER nurse Me: Oh (of course I know that she's a nurse already) isn't that a bit stressful of a job? Her: It is, but I was a doctor back home (in her country) so I'm used to it. Me: (surprised) Oh **** you're a doctor? Her: Well not now, I still have to go back to school here and get credited but yeah... *smiles* So I asked her how long she's been living here she said 6 years I told her she speaks awesome English and she told me I speak awesome English too lol. We talked about my school and when I'm graduating and what my plans are and basically just one good convo. We talked outside the elevator and I walked her to her door and SHE INVITED ME IN for dinner! I couldn't believe it but yeah I went in her apartment and she cooked food and I helped her out a bit. I was so happy but I got this feeling that she isn't into me like I was into her. I think she thinks of me as a little brother or something, she told me to bring home some of the food for my parents (they are staying at my apt. for a few weeks and they LOVE her) and told me to call her (she gave me her number) if I need food instead of ordering pizza... So I just went home and now I'm even more confused about what I should do. I feel like I just took a big step but I have no idea what the next one should be... I know it's a looooong question hahaha...

1. AWEEE ! thats cute, I actually took the time to read that :) okay so im asian, & from my point of view, I think you should just ask her out on a simple date (movies etc) she'd be flattered. good luckwith her :)
2. this is so so cute! i wish a guy like you lived near me... ok just call her and make plans to have dinner again, and take it slowly, but just keep spending time with her until the time is right to ask her out.
3. Here's the best method: http://library.thinkquest.org/C004916/dating-guide/dating-askingout2.shtml Race doesn't influence the way you ask a women out by the way.
4. aww thats really cute :) you might have to wait a while to know if your inlove i mean people can be really different when you get to know them. it doesnt sound like she isnt into you. good luck and do what your heart tells you to do :) call her :D
5. she seems to like you. yeah, you should ask her out!!
6. Hey man. you answered my question right there and told me to answer yours lol :) Unlike me you took the biggest step man. You are so lucky i cant even ask the girl that i love to go out with me, but you actually went to her house, ate with her, and it seems that she actually is in love with you too. Really i wish i had the same stuff going on with the girl that i love.. :D keep it going man. dont let her slip from your hands. And help me out lol :) What should i do? we dont really talk much in class, but you know how that is, i just love her so much., how should i tell her?
7. Well the last part seems like a step towards improving the relationship with her. If she told you to contact her whenever you "need food instead of ordering pizza" i'd say take that time to talk and get to know her more. Sounds like there is chemistry between you two so that's a good start. The best thing to do is to spend as much time with her and take advantage of the situation. As a girl, I think some or most people get attracted to one another just by spending more and more time (gradually) and getting to know more about each other. I mean, after all, that's how "relationships start right?
8. If she gave you her number, and invited you to dinner, she obviously cares and is interested. Whatever you do, if you do nothing else, CALL HER. Call her, call her, call her! If you don't she'll feel offended, and like she's not good enough. While you're at it, invite her over for dinner, since she did so for you. It could be with or without your mom there but be sure to inform her whichever way. Haha. If she says yes, instead of her walking there alone, you could always say something like "I'll pick you up at seven." It'll be sure to get a giggle.(: Hope this helped and Good Luck!
9. you answered my question and ill do the same, thanks by the way. first, i really don't think age matters, everybody just has limits and if you really love the person it doesn't matter. second, race shouldn't matter at all. the whole asian thing is really superficial. im asian and my boyfriends not. All I want to say is ask her out and see what happens. Everything happens for a reason and you'll have an answer instead of just wondering what would happen. If she says yes, yay! (: and i hope you guys work out, but if she says no, move on and at least you know not to wait and find someone that wants to be with you. If your relationship works out with her, don't get to clingy or you will seems obsessed with her and she wont like that. good luck dave(:
10. SHE DEFINITELY WANTS YOU TOO!!! She asked you in, she cooked for you, she gavee you her number, and she laughed at your jokes constantly. Plus you basically already had a date, so definitely just GO FOR IT! Just ask her next time you see her "So I was thinking what if he had dinner together, at a restaurant this time? haha" Good luck!!
11. here's where you went wrong- saying that she was beautiful in your first conversation with her was risky, but then saying she should go into modeling was a little much. i know it was just a compliment but come on, don't wanna bombard her with compliments so fast, she'll think you want to use her. here's what you have to do, next time you bump into her ask her what she's doing later, ask her to maybe go to coffee with you.
