I went to a festival with my friend, but I’m scared to ask to go again, what should I do?

I just need advice on how I should ask? Cause we went to one festival together and she goes all the time but I don’t want to seem like I’m thirsty to hang out, or too eager to be close to her. Or in the way of plans or like a burden or that one little kid begging to hang out with their big sister. Should I even ask again or just treat it like a one time thing? I’m not super super into EDM but I love festivals so it might be weird to ask to go and I don’t want to make things awkward.

Girl, I totally get being nervous to ask about hanging out again after just one time. But I don't think you should overthink it too much either! Here's what I would do:

- Casually bring it up in conversation. "Hey did you end up getting tickets to that other festival in a few weeks?"

- Gauge her reaction and interest level before outright asking to join. If she seems into it, then proceed.

- Make it low pressure by saying something like "That one looks so fun too. If you end up with an extra ticket or want festival buddy, lmk!"

- Emphasize you want to hang as friends, not be any kind of burden. Friends invite each other places!

- If she doesn't offer and you still wanna go, nothing wrong with a direct "No biggie if not, but thought I'd check if you needed a festival partner for that one."

I'm sure she doesn't see you as thirsty or little kid-ish. You went together once already so it's not that weird. Just play it cool and I'm sure it'll be all good! Don't stress too much, girl. You got this!

Just ask her if she’s okay with that.

I hate the fact I have to feel this way.
