Hey guys, kinda bored, and this forum is slow... so I'd throw in a situation and see what you come up with.
I'm meeting a girl for drinks tomorrow (tonight) and am wondering how to go about it.
I've known her for a few years. She was a roommate of a couple female friends of mine. Very cute, Swedish, in medicine. Pretty shy, but smart and sarcastic (wierd for a Swede, it seems). Started dating a guy almost immediately after I met her, they broke up but she left for Sweden when she was done school here.
We hung out a little amongst everyone else while she was here, but I was such an AFC at the time I could never admit to her that I was into her. Just as she left I emailed her (d'oh) and admitted I liked her. She responded with something along the lines of "that was really cute" but nothing more.
We have talked on MSN every few months or so, sometimes for an hour or so, for a couple of years. Much more than we ever talked when she was here.
Then the other day I see her on MSN and ask "how's europe", she responds that she's actually HERE in town, just recently, and would be for a while. Doesn't say why but does say she's a little embarrassed and depressed about it. I say we should hang out, she agrees. I don't ask her.
A day later she texts me "let's hang out" but it doesn't happen (I'm busy). She suggests another day, but then can't do it. Then today she said "how's Wednesday" and FINALLY it's gonna happen.
We're going out "for a few drinks", and then I told her I'd be going out clubbing. She asked where (text, again) but I haven't responded.
The question is... how do I play this? When I last knew her I was ultra AFC. Now I'm getting pretty self-confident. She knows that I WAS into her years ago... this definitely has to be still on her mind, right?
And I still don't know why she's here. For all I know it could be that guy, but I kind of doubt it (she hasn't mentioned his name in years).
Yeah, I know... it's over-analyzing, but like I said I'm a little bored at the moment and maybe you guys have a suggestion. Surely the drinks will help. I'm planning on playing it completely by ear, but am really wanting to not get into an LJBF situation right away. If she shows ANY signs of interest, I want in.
Any ideas?
