If you meet girl and find her attractive so why wouldn't you ask her out? In my opinnion dates are way to get to know girl you don't already know. If you just keep hanging with her whitout showing your feelings you are just going to enter the friend zone faster than you believe.
And if, after few dates, you find out that the girl is not what you are looking for you just stop going for dates.
Yup.
The way I do it is:
I meet this girl at some party, for example. We hang out a little, I make her laugh, we talk, and if I feel like there's something going on, I ask for her number right before one of us leaves, so that if she rejects me, it won't be that awkward.
Then I start texting her and see how she responds to that, if she seems to be interested and texts me back I'll get to know her a little, not too much, just enough to keep the conversation going. If I ask too many questions about her (about pets, siblings, hobbies, etc.) I might go into our first date and have nothing to talk about. (Has happened to me once, dunno if it will happen to you, depends on the person. I'm not that great of a talker to be honest.)
After this I ask her out on a date, I usually try to do it in a funny way to avoid being awkward.
This for girls that I don't know or don't see everyday (e.g. friends of friends), which to be honest, are my favourite type of girls since I believe that if I see her everyday we'll probably get bored. It could also go the other way around but if she breaks up or you do, it won't be that hard since you won't see her very often.
I'm also 16, so I don't know how it goes when you're older. But I just try to be myself and be confident(not cocky).
