Rambling Like an Idiot

[The_Joker]

Hey all! New to posting here, but have been reading these forums for quite awhile now!

 

Just wanted to share a little situation I got here, I'll try to keep it short, and can give more details if need be, but was wondering if anyone else had encountered anything similar?

 

A little background:

So, I have known this girl for about 6 months that i like, circumstances made it impossible for anything to have happened between us (boyfriend - now ex-bf, other complicated issues), but those circumstances have changed, and I really want to tell her how I feel. In most cases, I would date the girl to get to know them first, but in this case, I know her and she knows me well enough that asking her out instead of telling her I like her would be kind of awkward. I've of course, been struggling to know whether she likes me back or not, and I always get mixed signals (story for another time), but the biggest problem is trying to get a time where we can be alone so we can just talk.

 

Anyways, long story short (I can share a more detailed version later), I called her to meet up with me, just the two of us this week, over the phone... intention was just so that we could talk. Instead, she suggested dinner (a place where we had sort of discussed going to before, for another reason), which completely caught me off-guard and I started rambling like an idiot; she asked me when? I said... whatever works for you...anytime...I don't even know what i actually said because, but I started sounding really nervous I think, and indecisive! In the end, we're going for dinner this week, and hopefully I'll have the courage to just tell her.

 

The thing is, I do not ask girls out over the phone, I would always do it in person, so the idiotic way I sort of responded to her suggestion made me look really indecisive when I'm not, it was cause I didn't want it to sound like I was asking her out on a date over the phone. Has anyone else ever been in an awkward situation like this? And any suggestions on what to do now? (Should I simply never mention that phone call again, unless she brings it up, or what?)

 

EDIT: Just realized I probably should have posted this in the dating forum, and not here, so I'm moving it!
