awkward trail of convo not sure if she is meeting for business

[pete101]

I messaged a hot hb from facebook who went to same college as me.

I was quite up front with my intentions saying that I wanted to take her on a date. She asked me what I did. I said what I did bringing in more clients for the guy I work for.

She said she isnt dating at the moment (I assumed a bf) I said it's a shame you're not dating we would be doing good things for international relations and the UN would be happy as a joke. (We're diff nationalities)

She suggested to meet tomorrow or thurs at 7pm.

I was a bit confused whether this was a business networking meet or a date.

We arranged the details and her last text to me was the address of where she was working and that she would love to tell me more about what she did.

At this point would you guys just kept quiet and met and escalate even if she is going in as a business meeting and you as a date?

I wasn't sure what to do so I text back saying I had an idea what she did from her profile and that I was interested to know more about her as a person. And that my reason for meeting wasnt business related and I know she said she isnt dating at the moment but I should be upfront about my intentions.

Was that the right thing to do? If she was going in thinking it is a date too then what I wrote is a bit awkward and makes me look a bit strange and if it is a business meeting then well its prob not worth my while unless I turn it into a date by being sexual.

Would you guys have gone anyway without saying what your intentions were and just make it a date or would you have done what I did as to not waste your time but also risk making the interaction awkward?

You haven't met her and so many questions already.


Here is the scoop. She asked you what you do and when you told you're an average joe poor guy she told you is not interested in you. You kept on persisting, and she arranged a meet with you, she probably won't show up. Now I'm not saying this is going to be 100% true, more like 90%. What you should do? You already got yourself into this one, so you show up, but you plan on doing something else, just in case she does not come, so you don't look and feel like a total ass. If she does show up, which I doubt, let's face it you're neither hot nor rich why should she, then keep it casual, have fun with her. Your only hope here is to have so much fun with her, that she begins mirroring you and starts enjoying time with you.

No I didnt tell her what I did after I told her what I did she said great and let's meet tomorrow or thursday at 7

I should have made that clear. She actually offered to meet after I told her what I did not when I persisted.

It seemed too easy that is why I suspicious..hmm now my cynical mind is thinking cos she owns a promotions company placing hb's at events she could well be a madam placing escorts and wants my client list. Anyway fact she hasnt replied to my message shows that her interest was business related.

Because I never met her it might be worth going just for the practise she works where I live sent me the address not sure why maybe wants a meeting at her office.

Anyway fact she hasnt replied to my message tells me it wsz business related. Even if she was interested in dating potentially me making it awkward with my intentions shouldnt put her off.

Doesnt matter she replied now clearly it's business I'll decline her meet up and tell her to let me know when she ks ready to date
