next step?

I met this great girl over the weekend who was very into me, but I think we're both a bit shy. It also came to my attention that she just got dumped a couple weeks ago and took it hard. This was at a college reunion, and we spent time together as part of a larger group on Fri & Sat. The situation never really allowed us to step aside and spend time alone though, and she lives in New Haven and I'm in NYC (2 hour drive). Do you think it's inappropriate to contact her if we never exhanged numbers or emails? I figured I could get that info from a mutual friend we have. Would it help to have my friend talk to her first so at least she'll have a heads up, rather than be surprised?

 

Also, should I suggest getting together soon, with my driving up or would that freak her out? I'm so at ease when I'm atracted to someone... but I'm clueless and become an idiot when I'm both attracted to & LIKE someone. Ugh, going crazy.

Have your mutual friend ask her permission to give you her contact information. If she agrees, then the door is open for you to see if she wants to get together.

Yeah, give her a call, what do you have to lose? See how she responds to you calling her. If she sounds happy or accepting then ask if the 2 of you could get together. Take it from there. GOOD LUCK!!
