there is this one young lady, I have been playing card games with since october, and we got along great.
I think she single, not 100% sure, she doesn't have a ring.
but her friends also go there too, so I never hear her say to her friend ''hey, my boyfriend.did this''

funny thing, she doesn't think anything ''wrong'' with me. we were talking about Sheldon Copper.
and she went ''yeah, sheldon cooper has aspergers'' and I add ''also ocd''
but she just went on about Sheldon cooper having asperger, I just was looking at her
and not say anything. ( in my mind I was laughing)
She has no Idea I have autism.

I have not asked her out, I don't know if I want to or not. I like playing card games with her.
and she like hearing my view on politcal,sports, and other useless stuff.

even if she doesn't date me, I still enjoy talking to her, which is cool too.

and out of the all current women I talk to, she is number one on the list.

She has a boyfriend. The fact she keeps bringing him up in front of her friends is meant to be a clue for you not to overstep your boundaries.
Unfortunately she probably doesn't realise we don't always pick up on "clues".

Don't ask her out.

I think he is saying that she doesn't talk about a boyfriend.

Ask her out! But do it in a casual way. Like if she has mentioned a movie she wants to see, ask her to it.

Ah yes. Reread that Sorry it was early for me.
Yeah dude, no harm in asking out if that's the case. :)

Bill, I'm not at all sure this applies to your situation; I hope it doesn't. But you do need to be aware that since we can't read between the social lines, so to speak, that this woman may just like men friends. I've met many women like that in the past, and lost a few of them as friends when I made romantic overtures. Once that move is made, it doesn't necessarily destroy the friendship if the woman isn't interested, but it does make things awkward.

So, my best advice to you is to turn over your conversations with her to try to determine whether or not her intentions are romantic. In most cases, it is the woman who chooses the man.

Good luck.

Not all women are like that. I have a friend that found out how I felt about her, she didn't return the feelings but it also didn't change our relationship.

Just make it casual if you ask her out. Say "would you like to go to a movie sometime" and if she says no, just keep on like nothing happened. Then she knows there are no hard feelings and she can keep up the friendship with you.
