Reader Question:

This situation involves a girl I’m interested in who I met just over a month ago.

She seems to be a fairly popular girl, so I’m cautious about overestimating what her opinion of me is.

The first time I tried to contact her was through text, although that led to absolutely nothing. After that, I decided to call her by phone, and that was phenomenally more successful.

I suggested we should hang out and she accepted. In retrospect, I feel my handling of that situation was too ambivalent in respect to my intentions, so I’m planning to give her a call to make it clear that I do intend our “hangout” to be a date.

While I’m cautiously optimistic and assume she has a liking for me, if not necessarily one that is romantic, I’d like to know how the character of this relationship appears to others and act accordingly depending on their judgement.

Gina Stewart’s Answer:

J.G.,

I think you need to take a step back, go on your hangout/date and not put so many expectations on it. Considering you’ve only known each other a month, you don’t need to forcibly define your intentions or make her determine hers yet either.

She said yes to hanging out. Wonderful! That’s a great first step to actually getting to know one another. If you’re both into it, it will advance to where it’s supposed to go naturally. Don’t overthink it!
