Niccolo Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Hey all, So I met this chick and we've been talking in class and have become friendly. I want to ask her to hang out or get coffee or something but the only problem is that she is a commuter. She lives 45 minutes away, so it would be hard to coordinate and do stuff. What should I do? Should I ask her to coffee on campus or something? Essentially my question is how is dating a commuter student possible?
gd1039 Posted September 28, 2004 Posted September 28, 2004 Being in college and a commuter I am nearly a professional here when I speak, so listen up First off, there was a girl I was once interested in who also had a 45 minute commute to school. Turned out she had a BF, but I played it off like I just wanted to be friends so we still kept friendly the rest of the semester. I mentioned that me and some friends were goin to play pool some night and she should stop up, she said she would if she were in the area but it was unlikely. That being said, don't expect a girl to drive 45 minutes just to meet you for a first date. Definetly go for meeting at school (after or before class is always a good time). Ask if she is free after/before class, if she isn't ask if she has any breaks. My campus has a starbucks (as well as a campus run coffee shop) so those are always good options as a place to hang out. So, start by askin her to coffee on campus, maybe a football game next. Just see how it progresses. A friend of mine is dating this girl that lives on campus (so does he) but in the summer they live 1 hour apart. They would alternate driving to see one another every thursday. It can be done, so don't let the distance deter you. The distance will be a little difficult, but I say give it a shot start small on campus events (where she is likely to already be there). Then if things look good try driving out to her to do something. If she is willing tgo drive 45 minutes to go to dinner or whatever with you, chances are she is interested. Good luck, keep us posted.
