A little over a year ago I matched with a girl on a dating website. We really hit things off so I asked her on a date. Well she had plans then she said she wanted to just be friends. Well now 2 weeks ago her boyfriend broke up with her and a day later my girlfriend broke up with me (I swear it was a coincidence). Now she is the one who asked me to "hangout" and "get rid of bad energy in our heads". I agreed and plan on taking her to a restaurant and something fun (not sure yet). She knows I have feelings for her and she said she trusts me that I won't do anything that will make her uncomfortable. But I kinda want to show her through actions that I really do like her but I don't want to make things awkward. How would I do this? Also since we are friends so to speak is she re-interested in me? We share personal things in our life and text each other every other day. Anything I need to look for to see if she is interested in me? Anything would be appreciated.
You sound a little too eager. Slow it down and don't get your hopes up high. Treat her on this date and enjoy each other's company. However you gotta be realistic. She just got out of a relationship according to her. She friend zoned on a dating site as well, so don't go expecting to things to go perfect. This girl may not even know what she wants yet.
You're right. Thank you for the reality check. I need to just be myself and things will take care of themselves. I'm just super nervous because I've waited a long time for this moment.
Well if you have other options, explore them. She's not the best you can get. You can always get better. Just stay humble, just relax and control your emotions, and enjoy yourself. Remember, although it's temporary because of the possibility of you being a rebound, you're seeing if she's a good fit in your life. You're the man here.
She said hangout so I wouldn't see it as a date. Plus, she friend zoned you, so she may be trying to use you for attention because that's how it normally go.
It's ok if you change your mind about going. You're not friends with her and don't owe her a thing. If you still want to go, then by all means go ahead. Just relax, listen, and understand. Shoot your shot to see if she's interested in actually pursuing something with you, if not, I would make this "hangout" the last time I actively talk to her.
Hopefully not but could be fun IF you can keep it in perspective. A “safe” rebound relationship…with someone you know ETC is often an ideal arrangement for the “Damaged” party. Don’t fall in love…
