To approach

Is it ok to say:
" He was to approach her and ask her if she wants to come. We do not know what happened."

It's almost right. You should say, "He was to approach her and ask her if she wanted to come. " Since the first verb in the first sentence is in the past tense, the second verb should be also, since you're talking about how she felt at a specific point in time.
