Bit of dating advice

Ok something I want to get off my chest.

I have been doing nofap for the last few weeks seriously (I tried about a year ago and had troubles contnuing.).

I am trying to 'improve myself' ie. going to gym, reading books etc.
Do you have any books about relationships and the effect that objectifying women has?

So I have been having a few more successes recently.

Met a girl at the office and had some nice chit chat (although she looked very attractive, I tried to think of her as a person)...

Met a girl at Badminton yesterday. She looks very pretty - definitely my 'type'.
Last night I was thinking over it and kinda picturing dating/marrying the girl...
I had some doubts/negative thoughts about the relationship - i.e. she is originally from another town 3 hpurs away (she has come to my town to study).
Also another worrying thing is that we are both english, but I am of indian/asian ancestry. So our culture is a bit different - less drinking, more conservative etc. I was wondering what if she is a party girl - since i dont drink...

Do you recommend taking her out on a date to learn more about her and them maybe after a few dates (if things progress that far) make a more informed decision?

Any ideas guys...
She comes to badminton most saturdays so I could also build a rapport with her. people usually talk when they are waiting for games...

Have any guys experience of dating a few girls (treating them respectfully, not tricking them) to find someone who is 'girlfriend worthy'??

Any ideas. I have never asked a girl out and I am 25.. Thanks. I am definitely looking for a long-term relationship, nothing casual.

Thanks guys - your the best
