2iron Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 I recently (last week) went on my first date with someone after ending a long-term relationship, with a girl who I met this summer. Or at least I think it was a date... We went to a concert. I bought the tickets; she insisted on paying me back (to some extent) by paying for beers before the show. We had a good time. Broke the proverbial "touch barrier" and that went well, but for whatever reason, the night ended sort of awkwardly without a hug or kiss. Since then, she's asked if I wanted to go out for drinks, albeit with a friend of hers tagging along. I accepted; I wish I could have made that friend feel more like a third wheel, but I guess I'm too nice and talked to the friend enough to make her feel very much part of the conversation. It was overall fairly platonic. Here's the conundrum: this girl is super cool and happens to go to the same college as me. However, in three weeks she leaves for a semester abroad. In short, I don't think I have the time or game to make much romantic inroads in that span of time, even if she is interested in me. I also don't want to get involved with someone who's going abroad. At the same time, I don't want to alienate her for the next three weeks and I like her company, yet I don't want to end up in the dreaded "friend zone" thus limiting my options for when she comes back. So...thoughts on how to handle the situation, given how things have gone so far?
TaraMaiden Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 comment along the lines of "I really love your company and really enjoy spending time with you. I'm gonna miss you when you leave. I look forward to you getting back, let's make sure we get together then - !"
thatone Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 view it as an opportunity to work on said game. three weeks is plenty of time to seal the deal.
