A girl I like’s dad just died. I have been trying to get closer to her in the last two months to ask her out, but her dad died last week. How long do I need to wait until I can ask her out/ tell her I like her like that?

I think right now it’s offering your condolences and being available. Tell her if she needs to take her mind off things you can always help. There is no magic number here. You just need to be there for her and it’ll happen naturally

That’s a really good question. I’m afraid I don’t really know, but good to consider how that could come off.

Ur overthinking it. Just let her know ur a shoulder for her to cry on if she wants it then just lay back and let her process. If after this she goes to u that’s a great sign. Good luck bro

i feel like after a little while, communication is key. like let her grieve and then just ask her out and give her time to think about. let her know you’re interested but also recognize that she’s got a lot on her plate and will need to process it

I think you’ll have to wait and see how her healing process takes, we all take different amounts of time to grieve

I would say minimum 3 months but obviously it’s a case by case thing.

Yeah that was the first thing I did was the normal sympathy and offer of support I would’ve gave to any friend after
