Hey, thanks in advance for reading.

 

There's a new girl in my life and we hit it off in a big way. So big in fact that I don't want to screw it up... imagine that. Met her on campus where we share a mon/wed class together. Last Wednesday before Thanksgiving we got together before class for lunch and talked for two hours. After class was over I drove her to her car and we talked another hour. The "date" ended on a serious high. She was just beaming when she drove away and I already had her agreeing to a date the following week. I even followed up that evening with a text to "tell her I had a great time" and I got a pleasant response.

 

My only mistake so far? I sent her a text late on Thanksgiving day and got no response. Yeah I know, I got a little eager but I think it was a minor misstep... I mean, it was Thanksgiving and all. I was just throwing her a "hope you had a good one" text because I knew she was all alone not celebrating with family. And so she knew I was thinking about her.

 

So here I am, Saturday. Haven't contacted her since. Trying to play it cool. But the next date is a full week away... next Wednesday... and I think I should be making some kind of contact. Luckily I'll see her in class on Monday and we'll chat, but should I send her a quick, meaningful text, say on Sunday to keep me in her thoughts? Or should I just play it cool and see her at school on Monday? Definitely don't want her to think I'm chasing her, but I don't want to act disinterested and risk things cooling off either. Thoughts?

You are so lucky to have a class with the babe. Wait until Monday and then go hard.

I would suggest that you hold off until you see her on Monday. It was a little rude of her not to acknowledge your last text.

Big question now is... should I seek her out or just play it cool. The "dating advice" sites (mostly pick-up sites) keep telling me I should let her chase me not the other way around, but I don't want to seem like I'm blowing her off. Of course my natural inclination is to chase, chase, chase... facepalm.

 

That said, I know she's going to be in the library before class today and I could totally surprise her and try to stoke that fire that's been cooling all weekend, being all warm and friendly and talking about how busy I've been. It would be way more private and easier for us to focus on each other than if I stand around outside the classroom in the usual spot and wait to see if she approaches me. But that would put me in the chase position I fear. Problem is, after class there's not a lot of time and we'll be outside in the cold. Not conducive to romance. IDK Tricky situation.
