alex1960 Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 I recently started to take photography classes and visited the local store to buy a new flash and tripod. While I was at the store, I ran into a friend of a friend, and to my surprise she recognized me. She's quite pretty so I didn't mind! Turns out she's a professional photographer and was holding an exhibit the following week. I went to the exhibit and was greeted with a very warm hug as our host thanked me for being there. It felt very nice. While I was there, she spent most of her time with me. She also suggested that I come back some other time so we can take some photos together. I left after about an hour and was given a long hug again along with a soft peck on the cheek. I wonder whether I left too soon but I figured I'd see her again if she's really interested. Now, this girl is very touchy feely but I really felt like the hugs were very sincere. She also mentioned to our common friend how happy she was to see me there. Keeping in mind that this girl is an acquaintance and not a friend, would you say that she clearly displayed her interest here or not so much? Was it the right move to leave early or should I have been more aggressive? Thanks for helping me, guys.
Treasa Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 The past is the past. Sure, it sounds like she could be interested. I guess you should ask her out on a date if you want to know for sure, though.

I guess you should ask her out on a date if you want to know for sure, though. That is good advice. I guess I'm afraid of looking like a fool if she ends up rejecting me and telling our common friend... sigh... I'll have to take the risk anyhow.
Chief Wiggum Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 I wouldn't say you were passive at all. In fact, you played it right. Nice and cool. Enough to keep her intrigued if she's interested in you. As for whether she likes you, that's something you're gonna' find out in the next couple of meetings with her. Use this to assess her. No need to rush and tell her you like her (just in case you scare her off). But at the same time, don't let it drag on too long else you'll end up being just her 'friend'. I would suggest after about two more meet-ups with her -- which will give you enough time to find out more about her -- you should let her know you like her. Best of luck.

I played it cool since she already brought up a future meeting. I still think it was the better thing to do. But with some women, you have to strike right away... Let's hope she's not one of them!
