I say: If you're so interested, you should go up and ask.

VS

If you're so interested, why don't you go up and ask.

You need to put a question mark at the end of "... why don't you go up and ask?"

I would use "ask her" instead of "go up and ask".

Wow! That girl is so tall, do you think she plays basketball?
If you're so curious, why don't you go up and ask her?
