Should I change plans?

[fortfun_24]

I hate having to ask this kind of question because I'm sure it has been asked to death. Any way I met a girl yesterday at the Warrior Dash and exchanged numbers. She actually asked for mine which was great. We had good convo and in the process found she works right across the street from me. I mentioned meeting up for lunch on Tuesday and she sounded up for it. But I've since had an idea to do drinks or something after work on Monday instead. We haven't txted or anything since parting ways yesterday afternoon. Do I keep the previous plans and just confirm by Txt or phone call tomorrow or go for the change of plans and try getting a hold of her today? Or is it just too soon in general?

I'd stick to the original plan and organise to meet for drinks while you're having lunch. Keep lunch short, sharp and funny.
Then say: "Hey, I've gotta get back to work early but have you heard of this great bar? I was thinking of hitting it after work sometime this week. I think you should come too so you can buy me that drink you owe me."
She'll say something like: "What? I don't owe you a drink!"

Then you have a laugh and give her a time to meet up and leave straight away.

She flaked on the lunch date. Haven't heard a peep. Go figure!!

Sorry about that, it happens. For future reference, it's fine to "upgrade" a date but never set the date sooner than previously set unless it's an absolute necessity. It makes you look desperate.

For example you can go from lunch to drinks later that evening but not the previous evening.

And BTW lunch dates suck.

^^^^. Yes, lunch dates are for friends.
Night dates open up a lot more chances to escalate.
Live and learn, my friend.

Yeah after I suggested it I realized it was a bit lame which is why I wanted to change it. It kinda just popped out when she said she worked right across the street from me. Better luck next time, live and learn and all that jazz.

Thanks for the insight though, it is much appreciated.
