need some basic info...

alright...new years eve i met someone that i think is fantastic. we talked for a couple of hours before she retired for the night, and i remember that we had alot in common from musical interests to movies and books. being the classic man, i didn't catch any signals (maybe because i was drunk... but my friend IM'd me the next day saying that she was interested. from what i remember in talking to this woman was that she has never been in a relationship. i got out of one in august and i'm willing to give another relationship a try.

 

so, heres what i would like to know...my friend gave me her IM name the other night, so i Im'd her. before the conversation was over she agreed to grab lunch/early dinner with me, and gave me her phone number. so far so good i think. how should i proceed from here? i don't want to seem over anxious, but i'm not sure when to call her to set a date up to go out. this is my first real try at a date and i don't really wanna mess things up on my end...any advice will help, and ask any question that you think are necessary, and i'll try to answer the best i can.

Did you discuss a specific day to go out? I think to call her two days before that is reasonable....don't wait until the day you're supposed to meet her...

[jdheinold]

no, i have not specified a day. she asked me to call to set a day up to make sure she wasn't working...which is more than reasonable. i didn't call today because i did not want to seem over anxious.

I think you should call tomorrow, just make sure not to call her the day you want to go out on a date and ask her does she want to go out, make sure you plan at least 2 days in advance. Girls hate when guys ask them out the same day, its highly annoying and rude.

from all the posts i'm reading here, it would seem like 2 days is an appropriate time table for calling and setting up for a first date. any other ideas, advice? thanks to those that responded, its been helpfull thus far
