How to not make it awkward?

[Nezero]

So Thursday night there was an End of Exams party organised by one of the student societies.

I went, caught up with some people and met some girl (V) through a friend (A). Anyway my other friend ® and I were talking with her and her friend (which a friend of A had already essentially made his mark. Nothing dirty I don't think just exchangement of phone numbers and afterwards V asked if her friend and him would make a good couple.

 

So talked with her, found out she lives ~ 20 minutes away from me (and basically the same surburb I work in).

 

End of the night ask and got her number.

Just rang her before, talked for about 16 minutes and ended up asking her if she would like to hang out on MOnday?

SHe said she's seeing her friend off cause she teh friend is going to Europe (which I know is true cause she mentioned that before and not some excuse).

 

THen I said when are you free. I ended up saying Wednesday, she said I'll get back to you.

Anyway I ended up talking to her over msn and she brought Wednesday up. She asked who else was going? and I was like it would just be the two of us.

She said, oh right, so in other words are you asking me out?

Not wanting to have that door close on me I said yeah basically.

Blah blah blah, interested in someone else.

So anyway I said well do you still wanna go as friends? and she was pretty adamant on making it a group thing due to the possible awkwardness.

Now I'm not using this as some ploy to get to her heart, honestly she seems like a cool person and I shouldn't have gone out guns blazing before I really knew her.

Also after my first semester of uni I realised I haven't actually made any really good friends.

Also have girl friends is good for potentially meeting someone you like.

Anyway my plan is now to get o know her better and stuff is to ask her if she wants to come to this party on Friday?

Cause its a group setting I don't think it'll be awkward but I don't really know.

If this girl was into you she would not find it awkward to go alone with you. When you asked for Wednesday and she didn't give you a firm alternative (if she couldn't make it) red flags should have been going off in your head.

She just isn't interested in a date with you but probably wouldn't mind going out in a group, as friends.

 

I would move on and lose her number.

I know she isn't interested in a date. What I'm saying is how to not make it awkward so we're just friends.
