LoganJ Posted July 30, 2016 Posted July 30, 2016 There's this girl in a couple of my labs that I've been flirting with throughout the summer. I wanted to ask her out, but I was only ever around her with like 7 or 8 other people, so it would have been awkward of me to interrupt lab to ask her out. However, now both labs have ended and I'm wondering what to do. Earlier in the summer, she invited a bunch of people through Facebook to watch the NBA finals at a sports bar. I sent a message to her on there telling her to text me with the details. She did, so I got her number, but we haven't texted since then. Would it be weird to contact her through that number to ask her to get drinks or something?
bummer Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 Modern era texting is not a rule-driven sport. Just like when people would say, "spiders are more afraid of you than you are of them," you must realize any shy fears you have are moot if she likes you. Logical scenarios assuming you still live proximal and could sustain a real relationship before fall session starts: You text her, "Hey, that was fun watching the NBA finals last month. I wondered if you would like to catch a movie/drink/coffee with me this week?" She doesn't answer. - You move on and forget it. If youre desperate, send another text in a few weeks and see if she just missed the first. She says no. - You move on and forget it. She says yes. - You move on and forget it... wait, no, you date her for 2 years get married and live happily ever after. Or you get coffee and realize she's lame. Or vice versa. Or you wind of dating for a few months and enjoy it. You have nothing to lose but a bit of ego. Go for it. For the record, I've stalked and creeped my way to numbers in worse ways and if the girl liked me it works. if they don't like you, it will be awkward. but that's life.
