I knew this girl in college, and she was always very sweet.  I didn't hang out with her all that often but we would chat in passing and when we had the chance to see each other at parties.  She was in a VERY committed relationship then.

Fast forward to a little over a month ago, I saw her at a mutual friend's party.  He informed me that she is newly single.  This relationship of hers was pretty deep, several years I believe.  During the party in the bar, we got to talking and dating/r'ships come up, and she mentioned she is single.  We continue to talk, and later on in the night I mention we should hang out sometime.  She informs me that she would like to but, she just needs some time to herself at the moment since the breakup was recent to her.

Since it has been a little over a month, I'd like to ask her out.  I'm not sure if I have given her enough time, but I figure I won't know if I don't ask.  I also don't want to seem to much like I am "chasing" her, since countless previous date experience has told me that does not work.  What is the best way of going about this?
