soconfused2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Hi, Well it's been about 7 months since my previous relationship and I think I'm ready to start dating again...the trouble is I've been out of it so long ~10 years I really don't know what to do I met someone in my dental office a few weeks ago (some sort of volunteer) but haven't seen her since to 1) get to know her better or 2) ask her out....just bad timing I guess... Anyway, my dentist asked me one day what I thought of her and encouraged me to ask her out...of course this was challenging because I never seemed to be in the office when she was.... Then an opportunity arose! The office decided to put together a Halloween party and my dentist encouraged me to attend because this girl would be there. Aha I perfect opportunity to get to know this girl better, right? Wrong...unfortunately at the last minute the party was called off because not enough people RSVP'd At this point so much time had passed I started to think about looking elsewhere but on my last appointment he said: "don't worry I'll hook you up." Hmmm...ok...sure do what you can So the other day I got an e-mail from him which give me her e-address and said "she is looking forward to hearing from you." So I guess I am wondering what to do at this point? I really don't know *that* much about this girl so I feel kind of weird proposing dinner, lunch or some sort of activity... Is it as simple as: "Hey I got your e-mail from so and so I hope you don't mind....would you be interested in grabbing a drink with me sometime?" ???? To me this seems fairly innocuous...though maybe not very original I really don't like doing things over e-mail...and wonder if things like "hope you don't mind" and "sometime" are bad... This girl seemed pretty cool (cute, career oriented, etc), and I would really like to get to know her. Any thoughts? Thank you for reading...
heidiQ Posted October 25, 2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Why don't you try to get to know her over email a little, and after you have been chatting a while see if she wants to meet up? That would be a little more comfortable than just meeting some random stranger for a drink.
Author soconfused2007 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Posted October 25, 2007 Hi HeidiQ, Thanks for your input, that's a good idea. Although I wouldn't say "random stranger" she knows who I am, we spoke for a little bit in the office...but it was mostly her asking questions about me... Where do you work? Where are you from? Where did you go to school? Etc...
