interesting situation

[blackbelt2k]

Alright, I know I'm supposed to assume attraction, and etc. And that is usually easy when approaching a stranger, however this particular situation i'm not too sure. Here is the run down:
I took my dog for a walk last night and while walking I bumped into a girl I had in a class way back in highschool (6+ years). She seems to remember me, and such. So after a little fluff talk, she asks what I'm doing tonight and I reply, "walking the dog". She then says that there is a party in the house she just came out of, so i assume she's inviting me. I however say, that I'll finish walking the mutt and ask for her cell instead, and get the digits.
So I take about 10 minutes or so to finish walking the dog, and relax for another 10 back at my place. I then call her up and get her machine, but didn't leave a message; instead I sent a txt a few minutes later saying : "Hey name, its bb2k, let me know if your still down to drink". And I leave it at that and go to bed. An hour later I recieve a txt from her saying : " i left. sorry, you should call me during the week". I didn't reply.

So my question is whether or not this is an IOI or just something friendly. There wasn't much kino except for hand shaking and my hand on her upper back while she was putting her number in my phone. Any ideas?

She seemed VERY interested in you when you were with her. There are lots of things that could have come up for her.

You did great. Leave it be for now. I'd even wait a week before calling and asking her out. Make sure you don't ask her out for Fri or Sat when she's probably already got plans.

And don't talk long when you do call her... DON'T EVEN MENTION the party invite! Let that go! After all - You had 20 other things to choose from that night! Right?!?!

yea I was having a gut feeling about waiting a week too. Since i got the number sat. night / early sunday morning... Any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hell, call her during the week! That's what she wants. Keep it short, light, and set up a weekend date. I don't buy the whole "don't ask her out for this weekend because she's already got plans/you want to appear occupied/etc. When you start playing games and waiting a week, etc., is when you start screwing yourself. I always jump right on it and I have lots of success. This one should be a breeze.

I don't know something tells me I should wait until next week. I am really busy this week. My gut tells me to call her wednesday evening and arrange something for next tuesday. But then again, I'm not too sure if that will be too long of an interval between the call and the date? Any experience on this guys?

It should be fine if you really wanna wait. You can then ask her out for NEXT weekend

blackbelt2k, you're thinking about this too much.

The text messages make it pretty obvious she likes you.

alright, so I called her tonight (tuesday) and got her machine, didn't leave a message. About 30 minutes later, she calls me up. Here is the jist of the convo:
Her: hey whats up
Me: hey name, what are you doing
Her: waiting for my friends to come pick me up....going to a dive bar, would you want to come
Me: No, not tonight, I have to work in the morning
Her: what are your plans this 4th weekend
Me: I don't really make plans, so its up in the air, what are you doing?
Her: I didnt plan anything, probably party hoping, let me know if you know about anything
Me: I will, actually I wanted to know if you would like to have dinner with me next tuesday night
Her: Tuesday night....I don't know what I'm doing( or something like that)
Me: Okay, well when you find out, let me know. Talk to you later


So yea, im not really sure anymore if she has any interest or just wants to party. I could have agreed to go out with her and her friends, but I would rather persue this romanticly. Any ideas?
