minorsecond Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 First off, I'm new to this forum and feel obligated to introduce myself. I'm Ross and am from Texas. I'm a student in electrical engineering. So there's this great woman in my speech class who sits next to me. We've really hit it off already, and we've only been in class for a week (keep in mind this maymester is only three weeks long). I'm trying to get this woman to go on a date with me. I am going to a swing dance tonight and figured that it would be something she would enjoy. I had planned on getting her number from her after class yesterday, but due to circumstances beyond my control I was unable to. I shot her a quick message via Facebook to give me a call after her next class, but I don't think she got the message until today. I then sent her an email, saying this: Hey, I was going to talk to you after recitation, but didn't get the chance to. I hate doing this via electronic means, but tonight I'm going to a swing dance at eight. Would you like to allow me to amaze you with my ballroom chops? They give lessons from eight to nine. If you think you can show me up, let me know. I sent you my number on Facebook, but send me yours in case I'm not able to answer. It would be cool to make a new friend if nothing else. To which she replied: Hey! Swing dancing huh? I would have never guessed! Thats really cool! Thank you for inviting me but I have a trailer full of furniture coming to my apt tonight and another one tomorrow. Who knew moving was such a pain! Thanks again for inviting me! See ya Monday, I was just wondering what I could say next, if anything. My roommate believes that I should offer my help in her moving furniture but I told him that I don't want to come across as too interested or even desperate. Your advice will be greatly appreciated
Lakeside_runner Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 Yeah...no... it doesn't sound like she'd like you to help her carrying the furniture. Wait until Monday and see if she brings up the dance.
marsle85 Posted May 21, 2010 Posted May 21, 2010 If she brings it up Monday, lend her a hand if she needs help moving things. If she agrees, bring her a small plant for a home-warming gift. Goodluck.

I'll probably try once more towards the end of the "maymester" and see if she'd like to go out & do something.
