"Worth the effort"?  If you mean the effort of having some
fun at the party and then asking her frankly, then a night
of wild sex is certainly worth it.  =D  If she's not the 
"right one" for your life, she might as well be the right
one for the moment...  though if she were a potential right
one for life, it would be a terrible waste to spoil the
chance of a serious relationship with that question.

Then again, I'm the proverbial shy geeky physicist, and 
would never ever dare to ask such bold things in Real Life,
unless the girl were to show some clear signs of sexual
interest herself, which in my experience is just another
way of saying "never ever".  I get thrown into the "buddy"
category right away.

You have too much time on your hand, and watch too many
kitschy movies.  Maybe it would be best to continue this
thread over on romanceconlang among the other dating 
stories...
