There's a girl that I've been really interested in for the last month or so, and we've been gradually hanging out more and more. However, when we hang out, it's always been to watch the Flyer's hockey games at a bar with a few of her friends, never just me and her. We text back and forth all the time these days, and so I figured it was time to see if she was on the same page as me. I got a nice pair of Phillies tickets for the day after our semester ends and asked her if she wanted to come with me. She said "That sounds like an excellent way to celebrate the end of the semester. " My question is this: Is going to a baseball game really a "date? " I'm worried that she doesn't realize that it's more than just asking a friend to a ballgame. Was I direct enough, or should I have been more clear about things?
P. S. - Any other advice or suggestions are welcome, since the game is tonight!
You didn't blow it. Yes, it's a date. And she understands that. As for advice, just be yourself, be attentive to your date (be a good listener), don't force things, and have fun. Good luck!
You're in a sticky situation here! Answer these questions to yourself. 1. Do I have to text her for her to txt me? - if yes then that means she is either shy or doesn't pay that much attention to you
2. How did she react emotionally? - she may have been hiding her true feelings for you!
When you take her to the game, try putting your arm around her. Act mysterious and not too bouncy and friendly. Still be kind and protective.
Does she know that it's just you and her going? A baseball game can definitely be a date. If you want to "romanticize" it up a little, why don't you ask her to catch a bite to eat before or after the game. Maybe call her and say "hey, I was wondering if before/after the game, you wanted to catch a bite to eat? Good luck!
That's part of the problem. I told "I have tickets to the Phillies game on Friday, do you want to come? ". I assumed that because I didn't mention anyone else going, she would understand it was just us. But now I'm worried that it was too big of an assumption.
For the record, we're going to happy hour first. Forgot to mention that. - 7 months ago
Answerer
She may be thinking that it's a "you and her thing" but then again, us girls (whether we like you or not) don't like to assume things with you guys. I wouldn't worry too much about her knowing if it's just you and her because either way it's not going to be "glitz and glam" like a dinner party or something. Instead of happy hour though, I would go to a restaurant or something. Nothing fancy, maybe Chili's or a place like that. Happy hour screams friendship! Let me know if you have any other ?'s. - 7 months ago
Question Asker
I disagree, I don't think that happy hour "screams" friends. It definitely doesn't scream "dating", but I think it's pretty neutral. - 7 months ago
Why can't it be a date? You both obviously find it a fun thing to do (and would be my dream date, lol). Since it's the first time you've both hung out alone I know the thought of it being a date has crossed her mind. Just up the date-liness mentality when you're there and she'll know for sure. If she doesn't clue in at least you had fun and can take her out again.
