Chatting in the real world

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

I’ve been chatting with a woman on social media, I friend requested her and it’s gone on from there. It’s just been casual chat so far but I really like her and would love to take her out for a coffee but I don’t want to scare her off by coming on too strong and I’m also scared that she’ll say no. How do I gauge if she likes me enough to want to go on a date with me?

You could never come on too strong its not in your nature.

"You could never come on too strong its not in your nature. "

I just meant that by asking her out for a coffee would be coming on too strong as I may have the wrong impression and she doesn’t see it as anything more than 2 people chatting and has no intention of it ever being anything more. If I ask her out then she may stop talking to me altogether.

"You could never come on too strong its not in your nature.

Its a risk only you can decide to take, what's more important to you. Her friendship or her interest in you...

I think you're overthinking

It's a coffee (and hopefully cake)

Friends meet for coffee

It's an ice breaker

Don't make it a date as such sissy.

Mention that you are going for a coffee while you are out doing other things and ask if she'd like to meet for half an hour.

If she's not local to you , you may have to just ask her for a coffee for half an hour no more.

Gives you both a chance to suss each other without 'date' pressure.

“Hi. I’ve really enjoyed chatting with you, and wondered if you’d be interested in moving it to a real life meet at any point. The coffee and cake would be on me! Absolutely no pressure though, and I won’t mention it again if you don’t fancy it. I’m happy with whatever makes you comfortable.”

How’s that? Good luck! x

I see what you are doing and it really isn't healthy.

Although coffee & walnut is the divisive one

Can people not pay attention or waste your advice on this thread, it’s purely done to take the piss out of me gf or my thread if you read what the op was saying lastnight on my thread you’ll know this is fine just to antagonise me.

I'm a fairly direct type, so I'd probably just ask rather than hinting around it - I'd rather know.

"Fancy grabbing coffee sometime?" is my go-to, leave the time and date and place to their convenience, then their reaction gives a good gauge of whether they're interested.

Don't wait o/p...go for it and ask her out for that coffee. 'He who hesitates is lost' as the saying goes.

It's a coffee not a marriage proposal. But in all seriousness it's not even a dinner date, to me it's an informal social with someone you like.

Same, but I don't tend to read entire threads before posting. And I know I certainly don't read all the threads running either just in case.

Genuine advice for the health and safety if the woman in question. I would point her at this thread and other than you’ve been heavily engaged in last nigh and then she can decide if a social would be a wise move.

Wishing you all the best with meeting in the real world.

Oh that wasn't criticism of you lovely. Just I personally find it confusing when things like this happen because I then feel bad for something totally innocent I've done. And then have to go and find what on earth is going on.

Taken in isolation and in good faith the the intent behind the thread could not have been determined. And wince the other thread’s content came amour in the small hours it is quite understandable that most forum readers might have missed it.

Do you fancy grabbing a coffee sometime? Completely up to you and no pressure either way.
