Login as a Druid, position your mouse cursor over her head, set spell to "love potion #9", and right click. Works every time! I don't know why I said that. Boy, do I feel stupid.
I disagree arno as this could probably lead to him being "friendzoned" by her. She needs to know that Preston looks at her as more than a friend or that he would like to have a more serious relationship with her other than being a male friend. I read somewhere that *most* women decide within 5 minutes if they can see themselves going out with certain guys. She, if she is like most normal girls, has already decided in her mind whether there is something there other than being friends with Preston. That is why I don't think it is a big deal for him to try again about asking her out to lunch. But then again, I have my doubts that this girl is a *normal* girl.
Mini update. Keeping a low profile til next week. Still on good terms with her. She wears a Fahrenheit 451 sweater, which is one of the most awesome things ever.
Preston, please take a picture of the girl and post it here. It will help us to give you better advice.
Manny The reason i sayd that he should first do some normal friend stuf is that it is good that they get to know each other better. I agree that most woman already know if a guy is dating material, however if she thinks he is dating material there is no harm in first gettin to know her a bit better(and thereby letting her see what kind of person he is). If she doesn't think he is dating material, then there is also no harm in letting her get to know him. The way i see it: If a girl thinks a guy is dating material she doesn't let friendszone him that easily. I always think it is nice on the first real get together to do a non-dating thing(like helping with homework, playing a game, watching a movie at home, Play sports together, so the thing you can also easily do with normal friends), that way she gets to like him on that first casual get together. and after that he can ask her out. That was usually how i did those sort of things(and for me it works). However asking her for lunch is also a possibility. It all depends on the girl and their relationship so far. Preston let us know how it goes.
Be friends. Invite her over for friends gatherings explaining that it just friends. Then just be yourself. Your relationship grows and pretty soon you and her may be wanting to take it to the dating level (though I know you are already there). The guys that say that confidence is key are right - and you can show confidence and wanting to get to know her without giving out the I want to get in your pants vibe by just hanging out with friends. Get to know her and let her get to know you. If it is meant to be, it will happen.
Watch the Movie HITCH! Some of the lines are true Basic Principles - no woman wakes up saying "God, I hope I don't get swept off my feet today!" Now, she might say "This is a really bad time for me," or something like "I just need some space," or my personal favorite "I'm really into my career right now." You believe that? Neither does she. You know why? 'Cause she's lying to you, that's why. You understand me? Lying! It's not a bad time for her. She doesn't need any space. And she may be into her career, but what she's really saying is "Uh, get away from me now," or possibly "Try harder, stupid," but which one is it? 60% of all human communication is nonverbal, body language; 30% is your tone, so that means 90% of what you're saying ain't coming out of your mouth. Of course she's going to lie to you! She's a nice person! She doesn't want to hurt your feelings! What else she going to say? She doesn't even know you... yet. Luckily, the fact is that just like the rest of us, even a beautiful woman doesn't know what she wants until she sees it, and that's where I come in. My job is to open her eyes. Basic Principles - no matter what, no matter when, no matter who... any man has a chance to sweep any woman off her feet; he just needs the right broom. One dance, one look, one kiss, that's all we get, . Just... one shot, to make the difference between happily ever after, OR oh? he's just some guy I went to some thing with once.
