I gots a kind of long situation here.

 

There is this girl that I used to work with long ago at my part-time job. She quit, I'd say, about 2 years ago. I thought she was very cute, and fun to work with. One of my favorites to work with, but we were only work-buddies. I was pretty involved with another girl at the time, so at the time I never really thought, "Wow, I wish I could date her!" We went off to our respective colleges, and she in time quit the part-time job and I kinda forgot about her. I never really talked to her or hung out with her out of work. I think the most I've ever done is facebooked her, but for the most part, I kind of forgot that she existed.

 

That's the background I got on her.

 

Now, about a week ago, I ran into her at a friend get-together. I go outside and keep one of my friends company while he's smoking a cigarette and he's telling me about how this girl seemed really excited when she found out I was coming to this party. Like a proper friend, he encourages me to explore this further.

 

For the remainder of the get together, the girl and I caught up and BSed quite a bit. For the most part, there were times when mostly everyone would leave, like leaving to go get a movie or to set off fireworks, and I really didn't feel like getting up, and she would stay at continue talking to me. Many of my friends felt that she was really into me. And were encouraging me to do something about it. I also got her phone number.

 

So I decided I should go for it. I had fun catching up with her that night.

 

The problem is that school starts on Monday, and we attend different colleges.

 

Last weekend, I tried calling her to hang out with my friends and I, but I couldn't get ahold of her. I made the call on my friend's phone, so the next day she calls that phone back and my friend organizes a get-together where she and I were invited. The problem is that I had to work that night, so I missed her again.

 

So, I gave her a phone call on Tuesday to try and hang out, around 8ish PM, and she said she would have hung out but she was studying for something (from the conversation with her at the party, I gathered that she was a real bookworm), and that if she had more advanced notice, she could have hung out. She didn't seem like she didn't want to hang out with me, she sounded happy to hear from me--or at least in good spirits.

 

Anyhow, all I have is tomorrow before we go back to school. Now, realistically, I am NOT expecting anything to happen because of the fact that we are going back to school--like the beginning of a full-blown relationship or anything. I would just like to hang out with her and get to know her better (call it a date if you wish). Exchanging contact info, and having a good night before we both have to return to our studies.

 

I really don't know for certain if this girl is into me either. I am only getting interpretations of her actions from my friends, but I kinda felt the signals a little at the party where we caught up with each other. Personally, I really don't know how I feel either. I am interested in her, but I don't know if I'm interested because I think she might be. As I said before, I think she's attractive, fun, and she was one of my old favorites to work with. I don't know... I guess that's what going on dates is for--finding this stuff out.

 

This might be more of a no-brainer than I am making it out to be, but I am really bad at this sort of stuff. Should I try and get together with this girl?

 

Thanks a bunch. Lemme know if more info is necessary.
