Well the good part is that you won't have to see each other in a couple of week if it doesn't work out. I'm not all hung up on the girlfriend/boyfriend thing. We have all dated people more out of something to do than any real commitment. She may like a bunch or she may not. She may simply be making sure she is still attractive to random guys. However, there is nothing wrong with at least telling her that she think she is attractive and would she like to grab some coffee sometime. If she is truly attached, she will tell you this and that will be the end of it. However, I have often found that a seed is planted by doing this. It gives her something to think about anyway. You never know what could happen 6 months down the line if she were to break up with her boyfriend.
I'll relate a story of mine. My sister had this friend who was an attractive blonde, but she was only about 17. I was about 21 at the time. I met her and asked her out. She said yes, and we proceeded to go out. It was a little awkward as I had a drink, and she wanted one but couldn't due to the age. We got along fairly well for a first date. However right before I dropped her off, she told me that she had a boyfriend (WTF?). I think she thought I would try and compete with him or something. I backed off instead and didn't ask her out again. About 3 months later, she called me and said she had broken up with her boyfriend, and she had been confused when I didn't ask her out again. I said, "You were taken. I didn't want to mess with somebody I don't know for a girl I don't know very well". We went out a few times and weren't right for each other.
