There is this girl I like, in my dancing class. I want to know if we connect on other levels. I don’t want to straight up ask her what her hobbies are. I want to make it feel natural. Believe me, this makes sense within the context.
We usually talk a little bit before the class starts. So that’s really the best opportunity to ask.
Don’t worry about being direct and clear - good communication is a well appreciated trait and generally people like talking about their hobbies.
