to be open or play it by ear?

quick background: I'm leaving town for a year of work then coming back (it's for sure, in my contract).

went out with an amazing person a couple days ago - who is aware that i'm leaving but was also super keen on hanging out (we'd been talking for a couple weeks leading up to the 'date').

 

anyway, probably going to hang out again next week. I'm not viewing these hang outs as dates. I'm hanging more like it's a buddy, and am really enjoying her company. She's the no bs kinda gal - a go getter.

 

Anyone have experience being upfront? As in bringing up the elephant in the room - what are your intentions? should we keep in touch? are we just being friendly? OR just keep in touch and see what happens when I come back?

all of the above. It's just a date. Enjoy it.

How would you handle any new friendship? As you're leaving, I would just see what happens.

Yes, true! :)

When are you leaving?

And no point in keeping in touch.

A year is a long time and anything can happen.

Three weeks.

I think best to just see what happens and feel the vibe when we hang out again.

 

Futile to hypothesize without more
