Mutual Attraction (14)

1 Name: Secret Admirer : 2009-06-25 17:49 ID:3Xwfd0PK

I was down the pub with a friend of mine two weeks ago and he bought his girlfriend, we'll call her Girl X, with him. She had a friend with her, who we'll call Girl Y.
I found Girl Y quite attractive and told my friend this. I found out at work the next day that she told him she was attracted to me but thought I was 'out of her league'. So I know she's definitely interested.

So far I've seen her the last two days, last night we did a few shots in the company of some friends and even played a game of pool.
My question is, we're both pretty shy - how should I continue? I'd like to get into a serious relationship with her but I don't know how to go about it without rushing things.

Got her phone number?

How about asking her out for a movie? just the 2 of you

I'll give it a try, as I do have her number.

thing with the movies is... you don't get to talk pretty much... so maybe it would be better to just go on a normal date first where you can talk to each other, get to know better which could overcome the shyness

Balls, I was going to ask her tonight! Now I don't know where to take her. Bar? I think dinner is a bit too extravagent for a 20 year old and a 22 year old's first date.

Frisbee? Biking?

Also, I don't think the general consensus is that dinner is too extravagant for the first date of people your age... or hell, any age! Go somewhere where you can get dinner for the both of you for under $20 or something, if you choose to go that route. It doesn't have to be fancy.

Also, Sunday brunch or coffee or something?

Ask her to go on a picnic with you! Go to the store together, pick some stuff, have fun; then have a nice meal.
It's summer, so it should be a lovely outing, no?

I like >>7, that's a good suggestion.
>>6, thanks for the reassurance on the dinner idea.

Change of plans, I'll be seeing her on Monday next week so I'll keep you guys posted on what goes down. Also going to use some sort of name so you can identify my posts.

Also maybe go to a small local event: again, in the summer, lots of those usually are going on.
Could be a fun and unique experience!

Progress report!
I managed to ask her out and we're going to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Her choice, not mine!) in the closest city. Any tips for while I'm there with her? I don't want to do the stereotypical 'yawn/hug' thing. =P

Try to hold her hand! The 'yawn/hug' thing is soooo lame. No offense to anyone that does it.

12 Name: some : 2009-07-01 03:30 ID:cWwQ0Z2Y

What is the closest city?

13 Name: rei3 : 2009-07-01 08:19 ID:hF+cTbDG

It WAS Brighton - but it turns out they're showing the movie in my local cinema, so we're going there instead.

hmm, sorry. Don't know that area.
but at the movies, offer to buy her food; chicks love when you actually WANT them to eat.
Also, do not mention Megan Fox. D;
