Frustration - Trying to get together with girl. Friends might be screwing it up?

[masaki1085]

The other night at a party, I bumped into and had an opportunity to catch up with a girl who used to work with me a couple years ago.

 

Now, here's the weird part. I went outside to talk to one of my friends who had arrived before I did. And he was telling me that she seemed really excited that I was coming to this party. "Mike's coming to the party? He's so cool!" Something like that. And she really was into chatting with me and catching up. Some went outside to light up some fireworks, while others went out to rent a movie, and I stayed behind and she chose to stay behind and BS with me. She was kinda flirty, I suppose. My friends were noticing her actions, and they commented that she was pretty into me, it seems. Also, keep in mind that I haven't seen this girl in years.

 

Anyways, I got her number at the end of the night. But it wasn't really me asking her flat out for it. I didn't really think of asking for her number, but when my one friend said that it would be cool for all of us to hang out with each other (that including her), I was able to get her number that way.

 

So a couple nights later, I decide to give her a call to see if she wanted to hang out with us. I called and left a message and a callback number using my friend's phone (this is the same friend from the party the other night). The callback number was for my phone. I used my friend's because I was getting a really bad signal on mine. But anyways, I didn't get a response that night, but that's okay..

 

The next day, she calls back my friends phone, since I assume that was the number that pops up on her cell. My friend calls me back saying that she wants to hang out that night. Unfortunately.... I have to work that night. So, he and a couple of my friends hang out with her anyway... they planned on going to a Japanese restaurant and then off to karaoke at a friends house (where I could have caught up).

 

She left the group after the restaurant. My friend was commenting that it was him, the girl I've been talking about, and two of my friends who are dating each other. My friend has a girlfriend, so he really wasn't trying to set up the evening like a double-date thing, but he was kind of afraid that was signal he was sending (and he made sure to mention his girlfriend throughout the entire night). But since that idea worried him, and the fact that she left, coupled with the fact that my other two friends that were there are pretty weird (coupled even more with the fact that this girl doesn't really know these three friends at all), really, really worries me. I'm afraid they hurt my chances with this girl than helped me. :\

 

So I really don't know what to do. It would be nice to hang out with this girl and get to know her better (she is cute, and she is fun--I knew her from my job for a couple years, but I was taken then). I have her number and her IM name, but I don't think she has either of mine (I never gave them to her). I have about a week left before I go back to school, which is the same deal for her I bet.

 

Any advice?

 

Thanks for reading. ^_^;

Call her with your phone, ask her how the other night was and say your sorry that you couldn't make it. Then ask her out so the both of you can catch up.
