I'm so not talking

Well my friend is out of the picture and is basically ignoring her completely.

So now I'm set to ask for a date. What's the best way to initiate it? I'm not really in an email/phone call relationship with her. Though I do have her phone number,I have never called her, and I've never really been with her outside of mutual friends. Anyway I run the scenario in my head... it seems a tad awkward.

I don't know if she's looking for a boyfriend or whatever... but I think she is... and that she maybe a sort of a romantic type. I don't think she's dated much either... so it may be strange for her too.

I basically see two options, start talking with her asking questions or whatever... and see what happens... a more natural growth. Or I just risk it, call her up and say hey I want to do something Saturday... let's go see a move/out to dinner... whatever. Right now I'm kind of favoring the more direct approach...

I talked with people who are friends with her today, and I wanted to make it pretty obvious that I am interested in her. But I don't think it came out... maybe. I told them that I think she's very nice, and asked if she was still going out with that guy. I also got word that she wanted to send me a thank you email for the thank you... but wasn't sure if that was right or not...

Oooo....the plot thickens.

I don't know. I didn't know it would get this complex. I answered the part about the cookies, maybe someone else can help with the relationship part - that's downright scary.

Godspeed Pugly - you're out of my league as far as advice now.




Far future prediction: Pugly and bride has an elaborate wedding, many guest, and of course - a WEDDING CAKE with frosting, sprinkles, and many layers. Made by the bride herself.

Woo hoo, I mustered up all the 'courage' I could and just risked a phone call out of the blue.

We're going out tonight! I didn't call it a 'date'... but this is the first date I've ever been on.

I'm anxious and so happy at the same time... which kind of looks like these two guys put together:

Thanks to all you wrongplanet fellows who helped me out...

Since the date's already happening, way to go!

I was going to say "take the direct route" because sometimes if left to nature, things slide into friendship. It sounds like you both like each other, hopefully it blossoms into something more.

Closing thought:
Cojones...Pugly's got 'em.

Thanks, gypsyRN!

The date went as well as I could have hoped for. It is still sort of ambiguous to me is if this is a friendship or something more... but you can't say much after one date...

All I know is that at the end she said "I had a good time, we should do this again." And we get along splendidly.

Glad to hear the good news!!
