<human>: Hi folks! I met a cool girl a few days back -- she made me laugh so much! We were with friends during the entire time we were hanging out, and we didn't have a whole lot of alone time.

But I felt like it would be fun to go out with her on a date. My friend gave me her number, but I can also message her on FB.

We hung out a few days ago, I'd like to message her somehow to ask her out. Any ideas on what is a good way of going about it?

I've asked people out on Facebook before, I don't have a problem with it. But whenever I've gotten someone's number, it's from them directly.

She's very close to these mutual friends of ours, as am I -- I don't expect that anyone will think of me as a creep at all, but I just want to be aware of what is appropriate!

Thanks,
Barty

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: want to ask a girl out for the first time, should I ask her out on facebook or via text (I got her number through the mutual friends we were hanging out with a few days ago).
