jumping-jacks Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Met someone NYE. It's only an hour. I figure it might force me to keep it very casual for a while. Anyone done anything that close? Should I: 1) Make up an excuse to be in town when I ask her out 2) Ask her out and say I'm driving in (probably the truth) I see #2 as either she might feel bad "making" me do it, or she might be flattered.
TMichaels Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 Why don't you do both? Call her and say you were coming into town on "X" date and wondering if she would be interested in meeting you for lunch/dinner/a movie, etc? Only problem is that she might have other plans, especially if you don't give her much notice. If she says she can't do it on the appointed date, play it cool and ask her if she's interested in getting together some other time. Either way, her response will tell you whether she's mutually interested. And, just be sure you have a "cover story" why your going to be traveling to her town. Certainly there's someone/something there you can mention as a "legitimate" reason if/when she asks. Regardless, go for it. You'll never know unless you try. Good luck! TMichaels
GangstaGrillz Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 You should do both. You never know what the possibilities are.
curiousnycgirl Posted January 3, 2008 Posted January 3, 2008 No need to make up stories, just ask her out. She'll know you are driving, and she'll appreciate the effort (if she has a brain). My b/f and started out living about 1 hour 20 minutes apart (assuming no traffic which is a ridiculous assumption) and now live about an hour apart - we don't consider it to be long distance. Heck we've even done the 2 hour round trip just to drop something off or pick something up. In the beginning you will be expected to make more of the effort, as the guy, but in time driving the distance should become more equitable if the relationship develops to something worthwhile. Good luck with it.
