The more we talked the more attraction I felt. Knowing after the funeral I'd probably never see her again or have any way of contacting her, so I asked her out on a date. Was this out of line? She did say yes. [Mod note: should show US flag] Reply to this Question

 Was it out of line? No, but I find it in bad taste and a little tacky. However, it's NOT me you are asking out it was HER and SHE said yes, so obviously she didn't have a problem with it.

 Not really. At least, people do it all the time - "all is fair in love and war " type of thing. I think that, if you use good taste and discretion ( you don't hit on the deceased 's widow or daughter or sister... or you do not flirt like crazy during all the memorial service... ) what you did is nothing terrible.

 She said yes, so it's a moot point. In the future, when you are at a funeral or a wake or memorial service or wedding or bar mitzvah or christening or a birthday or such like, just ask for her number or give her yours or ask for her facebook info and give her yours. Then you won't ever have to wonder if you are out of line.
Best wishes!

She said "yes" didn't she? Have a good time
