er, i wouldn't ask her out for coffee or a bite to eat.
too forward.
tell your friends are throwing a party, asking her if she and her girls want to come.
but don't make it seem as if you're asking her to come for the sole purpose of seeing you.
tell her that you guys are trying to get as many girls there as possible, adding that you don't want to be around a ton of dudes.
even if she responds in the negative, she'll figure you're someone cool, a guy who throws parties and probably scores a lot.
Yea, it's too weird to ask her out to eat before you've ever spoken.
I met my girlfriend on campus. I'd seen her a few times, but we had no classes in common or anything (and I had a girlfriend already) so there wasn't much I could do to talk to her. A week after I dumped my g/f, I saw the girl (my current g/f) sitting with someone I sorta knew, so I took the opportunity to sit down and talk to her. Then when I saw her the next day, I asked her out to lunch.
Find some entry point, whether it's a party, sharing notes, studying together, looking out for her sitting with someone you know, something to start off with. If you ask her out to eat when you've never heard her voice it's obvious what you're basing it on.
Unless it's a class with debate going on, and she talks? Then lunch could be about what she has to say. Or you could get involved in a debate she's in and then tell her you'd like to talk more after class is over. I dunno if your school has cool shit like that going on.
