Invite her on a date. Be clear that you're interested in getting to know her better.

If you don't know her well and simply want time to talk and get acquainted, suggest having coffee or a soft drink. The key is to be clear you're asking her out on a date.

End the conversation politely. If she accepts your invitation make sure you plan to clear a day and time to meet. If she turns you down, take it in stride and be polite.

Thank her for taking the time to talk with you, and be sincere. It's important to remember that dating and talking on the phone with perspective partners is important relationship practice. You should try to develop thoughtful and respectful communication skills, and avoid taking rejection too personally.
