Keeping Her Waiting

[DeanPerformer]

I recently asked a girl from highschool if she wanted to get together sometime and just recap everything that has happened since we both last seen each other since graduation. She said she'd love to! Now the only problem I really have is that I since got this full time job and am working overtime out the yin yang on weekdays while I have the chance, I will be out of town on the weekends for hunting season (didn't mention the hunting thing to her[unless she asks for a specific answer]). I asked her out before all this happened because I mustered up my courage at the moment and just did it without recollecting my coming schedule.

So what I'm really asking is, as these days go by, for me and her, what can I do for her to not feel like she's getting her hopes up and keep her wanting to see me? I've only been keeping up with her occasionally via facebook.

And while we're on my subject, what would any of you recommend as a good date ideas, to make it look more casual as just friends getting back together and not feel so intimidating as a first date?

 

thanks in advance

to answer the first question: can you not go hunting one weekend and have a date with her instead? that would certainly help.

How about meeting her for coffee or lunch for an hour or so? That's a good way to break the ice and get reconnected without burning up a lot of time. If you do that for a couple of weeks, then your schedule might open up (or you might feel more motivated to open it up).

I have the same thoughts but we are both still pretty young, I mean we just got out of highschool a bit past 2 years ago. I'd go along with coffee, if she'd be up to it, but don't wanna come off as the boring type (no offense to your idea), I'd just like to remind her of the guy she use to know, but not so much of a goof. Like I was probably thinking starting off at maybe a pool hall and going setting up maybe a bet to treating dinner or where your idea could come in, for coffee. thanks though and keep them coming, its been maybe a year and a half since Ive had a date and need a tune up, trust me it feels like 3 more years.
