<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Some context. 20 y/o Sophomore transfer student (m). Virgin. 

Their is a girl I really like spending time with and we have spent a few small sessions alone but nothing major. I know she likes me at least as a close friend, but I am not sure if she would date me. She is taller than me by several inches which might make it awkward for her. We have known each other for going on 2 weeks now. What made me realize how much I desired her was a night that we went out drinking with a group of friends. We hugged and cuddled so much that I knew I wanted to be with her. Since then I have been super hesitant mostly due to a lack of knowledge on telling her. Our social group knows I like her and I am trying to find a way to ask her out on a date without the group around but in person.
<bot>: What do I say when I am ready to ask a friend to date me? How should it be done? Etc;
