Lets imagine a scenario then.
You have been eyeing this girl in your office for about 2
months.
You play James Blunts Youre beautiful every night and stalk her
every night in your dreams.
You are interested to know anything about her, her hobbies, her
habits, her love life etc.
Then one day, she gives you a call and asks you for a date.
Are you going to say no?
Yes, you have some birthday party you need to attend.
[b]Think again! The girl of your dream just called!
Are you really going to say no because its impolite to reject a
friend of 10 years?
Cant you arrange something else after the party? Or maybe ask her
to join the party?
The above scenario would hopefully make my point clear to
you.
If you want a girl to say yes to dating and possibly
smooching you after a matter of 2 months, you have to play your
cards right and she has to be HIGHLY INTERESTED.
When I say highly interested, it means you are right up there in
her wanted list.
She views you as equal
importance to her best friends.
In this case, I probably have to flip several pages before I can
see your name on that list.
Obviously, you can simply ask her whether shes ready to be your
girlfriend.
Her most likely reply is she needs time.

My wife did that to me! 
It's true..
I asked her for date during initial stages of courtship and was
rejected as she need to attend a outing with a very good friend of
her(plus the event was not even a birthday)
Btw,if the lady just for the sake of a 2months acquitance candiate
future bf outing and rejected to attend the birthday of her good
friend of 10yrs? What does it says abt her integrity??? Therefore,I
strongly disagree with yr view!
