Is this a normal way to ask this girl out?

I'm in college, and there's this girl who lives above me in my dorm. I started a conversation with her the first day which was 2 months ago, and got her name. Since then I've only run into her like 4 times, and we usually just say hi and exchange pleasantries for like 5 seconds. So I really don't know her, and she's probably forgotten my name.

Would it be weird if next time I saw her, I asked her for her number and said he we should get food sometime? I don't know how else you do it, because my school is so huge, so its easy to forget about people. So unless I make a move, I'm never going to get to know her. Also no one ever seems to go on dates like in the old fashion sense. So would asking her out like that, be the correct thing to do? I really don't get what else I could do to meet girls.

    completely harmless to ask to have lunch sometime, especially if you both have meal plans. No one would rather eat alone when they could have a friend to talk to.

    If it would be easier for you, try starting off by saying something like, "Instead of constantly bumping into each other like this, why don't you let me take you for a bite to eat? Unless you'd rather do homework." If she insists she has something keeping her, then smoothly give her your already handy jotted down number & tell her for when she thinks she can handle a killer place to chow down.

    That's actually the perfect thing to say. Don't listen to people who tell you that there's some kind of elaborate story you need to come up with or some magic words to say. That's all nonsense.

    And yeah, I hear you about the old fashioned dating thing. In college "first date" might more often than not mean a drunken hookup at a mutual friend's party. But don't worry, chivalry isn't dead and women respect that kind of thing.

    Completely true. Don't be afraid of rejection.
