Opinions? (chick advice)

Sign in to disble this ad
So I recently got out of a long term relationship, stumbled into something else, but now thats over. So anyways I'm sure many have read the "I got fired" thread of mine, but now I'm going to the movies tomorrow night from some chick who I used to work with.

She texted me this morning asking me if it was true I had gotten fired, I said yeah, and we texted back and forth a bit before I asked if she had wanted to go to the movies and see Tropic Thunder.

She agrees.

So far so good right? But now I don't know if this is just a "even though you're fired we can still be friends" thing or something else. I'm hoping something else because I think she's pretty hot (well if you like tats she is)

My problem is that I don't want to make an ass out of myself, because I don't think she's crazier than a **** house rat or a meth addict (look I'm improving!) So how do I decide which is which?

My most best solution so far is to message her again and ask her if I should invite someone else. But then wouldn't that make it seem like I just wanna be platonic friends?

Damnit, I overthink...

What should I do o' wise sages of TB?

Also, the option of hit it and quit it is a no no for this one.

Do it and see how it goes. Don't invite someone else, that will send the signal you aren't interested in being more than friends. But don't take it further than it needs to go, wait for a clear signal. Get her to talk about herself a lot and pay attention.

Thats about the best advice I can get, just show interest without being oppressive, if she's down, she'll pick up on it.

Best of luck.

Nothing to harmful with going to the movies. If both of you are rational people, you know if the relationship will not work. Just talk it over.

No more thinking. Don't go in with some stupid plan. Just read the signals and go from there.

Marry her. She knows you're unemployed and is still willing to go out with you.

Take her out, be a gentlemen. At the end of the night go for a kiss. Friends dont kiss. Youll know right there, and you have an out, "I was just being oldfashioned gentleman."

Don't invite anyone else if you want something romantic with this woman, and like everyone else has said, just relax and fun. Just go with the flow, man. These kind of things have a way of working themselves out.

Good Luck!

The kids these days! I tell ya, when I was young, if I got any chances to spend time with a nice girl in a dark room, I jumped on it. Nowadays, something like this comes up, and you have to write threads to five different message boards, wondering if going out with a girl makes you more or less emo or something. The kids these days!

Well, he is going on a date with a woman.

I'd say wait for a hazy, maybe, iffy signal. Then go for it.

It sounds like you are overly worried about looking foolish. Usually, that is the first step in the process of looking foolish.

To be yourself is all that you can do.
