When to ask her out, because it's Christmas time

[Lithuanian]

Hey, guys,

I just came back to seduction world after two years in relationship, so I feel a little bit rusty.
I met this girl when she was talking as representative of real estate company.
We were talking about partnership, but later switched topics to more personal things, like where did I graduate, what I do in my free time, she even said I can come to their office anytime I go to this city (I live in different city, but just 100 km away).
I have her Facebook, and I felt strong chemistry. I Sometimes I am really wrong about this, so I don't take this for granted, no big hopes.
Anyway, I want to ask her out (I will come to the city she resides, no problem), but the problem is when. It is Christmas time, so everybody will be spending time with their families, including myself. I can ask her maybe between Christmas and New Year, but I don't know whether it's not too late. I know that I have to move fast, but I don't want to overdo it. Also, should I ask her out now, like "what are you up to between Christmas and New Year"? Or should I text her after Christmas and ask her whether she is free these days? What would be your advise? Because I tended to mess up these things in the past.

Why didn't you ask her out in-person? The problem is that your risk goes up if you forget to ask her out in person. Had that happen recently. Good interaction with a girl in social circle but missed the escalation window. Later found her Insta, talked to her, and she was cold.

I'd say get some basic conversation going first. Feel her out.

"Hey (name). How'd your weekend go?" or whatever.

If she responds with smileys and asks questions, or is at least responsive, then decide to ask her out.

The problem with going straight for the ask but never having showed that interest in person first - it can be an awkward transition, especially if you read her wrong. That's not to say you shouldn't go for it, but do consider the consequences it could have with business (or would it not? I don't know the exact nature of it, only that she is a rep for a real estate company you might partner with).

Also, the timing....yeah, holidays are tough. that's why starting a conversation is good. You can keep her warm while you wait out the holidays with occasional conversations every few days. The risk of her meeting a new guy cuz you didn't move fast enough? Decently high. She could meet someone at a holiday work party. That's when people in their social circles thrive - during the holidays, cuz it's cuffing season and social circle guys are safe bets.

Feel her temperature by getting into conversation then maybe be like "Yeah. you super busy during the holidays or prefer to be chill?" If she's not super busy, be like, "me, too. We could meet and have some wine and be warm in the winter." Then figure out logistics.
