Andaro Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 I am new here so hello everyone I volunteer at a community service project. There is a girl that came there today to volunteer. She was beautiful and when we started talking, I enjoyed talking to her a lot. I felt a strong attraction towards her. We got to talk quite a bit before we started our work. We are both interested in science and math, and I currently I study mathematics. When we spoke, she laughed a lot when I made jokes, and she also touched my arm and my back tenderly. I actually was surprised by that because I felt it was quite intimate given the fact we had met just a few minutes earlier. I noticed that she did not touch other volunteers the same way. On the way out, I was saying goodbye to the people I volunteer with as usual. She told me that she will be interested to stay updated on my work, and that we should hang out "to talk about mathematics sometime." I told her that would be nice and gave her my contact info. She sent me an email a few hours later, saying that she enjoyed meeting me and that she hopes that our paths cross again! (She mentioned earlier that she volunteers there rarely). I was wondering whether this is a sign of interest or she just being friendly. Does it sound that she wants me to take the initiative and ask her out, or by "hoping that our paths cross again" she was saying that she would prefer to leave it to chance. I have not written back to her yet, and any feedback from you guys would be much appreciated

TaraMaiden Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Right. I apologise, but in mentioning your studies, and when you referred to her as a 'girl' I had visions of a teenager still at school, volunteering during his weekends, maybe developping feelings for a girl his age or slightly older. (I have a slight personal aversion to grown women being referred to as ';girls'. I never hear women saying "this boy came up to me and said....." unless of course, it was a boy.....!) Heck, you have nothing to lose by asking her out for a coffee....! There's also an awful lot to be said about being upfront, and actually coming out and asking if you're being an idiot and misreading signals. At your age, all the namby-pamby mind-games are frankly childish. There's much to be said about taking a no-nonsense approach. It's quite refreshing, and clears all the 'feeling foolish' crap out of the way.
Author Andaro Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Thanks Taramaiden! Actually, you are right. She is a WOMAN. In fact, I think although I have learned quite a bit of English the past few years, I still have some fine tuning to do! Edited June 12, 2011 by Andaro
