Easiest and lowest stakes is to invite her to a casual event/hang. Party, karaoke, study session at a coffee shop, etc. If she’s mentioned any places or activities she likes, you can appeal to that (thrifting, gym, cooking). Test the waters before asking her out officially, I’d say. If things go well and you start hanging out frequently, chemistry is there, and things are starting to click, that’s when you go in for a nice date!!
Truthfully, it means a ton when a guy invites you to do something with his friends around, like a party or a game or going out or wtv, because it feels like he wants you to be there and wants to show you off a little. It leaves a good impression to be introduced to someone’s friends, makes you feel important, and is generally low stakes. Unless your friends suck.
If you went for a 1-1 thing, it’s easiest to make it a little spontaneous and still appealing. If you run into each other or are already together, just ask if she has time to go to lunch/coffee or join you to study/gym/shop. It lessens the pressure of “asking her out” and gives her a non-committal response. If she can’t go, then you can always say “no worries, i would really like to plan something together though, if you’d be interested in that” and boom
