Note that he says: "just ask her out".
Don't try to find out anything more about her. Don't try to see if maybe she might be interested. Don't do anything other than ask her out.
Now, sure, it's going to be hard to get someone to go out with you unless at some point you ask them out. But, if you follow his advice you're probably going to face a lot more rejection before you get a yes... unless you look like him.
The thing is: If you ask her out (in real life, not through some shitty app) and you are not super creepy or awkward about it you already have an advantage above 90% of the dudes who write weird messages to her... it's the date when you find out more about her
Note that he says "if you like her", not "if you think a stranger is hot"
This entirely speaks to a situation where you like someone, know their interests,etc, but you're nervous about ruining the relationship you do have. AKA my entire high school experience lol
