<human>: I made a post recently describing a situation in which I want to ask a girl out [19 F] that I didn't particularly know well. I have never really done this (with someone I'm unfamiliar with) and am confused with the answers I got.

I suggested ending a conversation at the end of class with something along the lines: 'i'd like to talk to you more, could I get your number?' 

But the people who replied suggested that I ask her for coffee instead. I'd like to get more opinions cause I think I'd screw up going for a coffee with her in the beginning and would much rather get her number, get to know her a little and then ask her to go for a coffee or something casual like that. Is this a bad idea? 

It's just bothering me not knowing. If she's interested I'd like to know, if not I'd like to move on.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: if you liked a guy would you rather he asked for your number first, or asked you out for a coffee? What if you didn't like him?
