Dating question revisted.

Let me set this up for you guys, this week I’ve been going to Music in the Rockies, I’m just going to the concerts, not the whole event, when I met a beautiful girl, but there is a problem. On Tuesday I saw this beautiful blond girl, I went up to her and kinda pretended I was looking at the stuff she was selling at the concert, when I got a chance I said “You have a beautiful smile” walked away came back later, and we talked I gave her my business card, and told her to call me. Afterwards I told my friends and they were like did you get her number? And I’m like no.

So, last night (Thursday) before the show I found her, and went up and said “I love your shoes. Would it be to forward to ask if I could call you some time?” And she said “No, didn’t I give you my number” “No, I just gave you my business card” “Oh, let me get my phone and I’ll give it to you, come back at intermission and I’ll give it to you.” I’m like “Do you have email?” “Yeah, do you want it” “Sure”. I come back at intermission and get her phone #. She said “Call me some time” And I asked if she liked coffee, and she said “I used to work at Starbucks”

Here is a problem. Last night I went to another concert, (this is a week long series of concerts/training) and I got her email and her phone number, she said call me some time, when I was leaving her grandpa came up to me and said "Are you hitting on my Granddaughter?" I said yeah, and he said "You better cool it".

So, I'm faced with does she want to go out with me or is this her way of saying back off?

Who knows.either she lyed to you when she was giving you her phone number and email or her grandpa is just protective.

First of all... WHY would you have answered yes?

Secondly, you have no reason to assume she sent he grandpa to scare you off, just call her sometime and ask her if she wants to hang out. Tell her it's ok to say no, that if she doesn't want to, you won't keep bugging her. If she still says yes, trust her, and don't question that she's trying to get of you.

Haha that made my day.

Well anyways...take it with a grain of salt you never know maybe she ended up being embarrassed from what he said? Call her up and take the risk.

smithers · 08-03-2007, 12:17 PM

wow, thank you. you just made my week. anyway, why would you say yes to her grandpa about a question like that? just call her up and ask if she wants to get hang out sometime. forget about what the grandpa said. sometimes you just have to take some chances.

I talked to my Youth Pastor, and he helped me type up an email and send it to her.

TunerSteve · 08-03-2007, 04:19 PM

Just think of the stories you can tell your grandchildren someday....about her grandpa "protecting" her, ha.

Having your youth Pastor help you with your email is a great start, but also pray about what God leads you to do while dating others is also crucial. Listen for His guidance, and follow your heart. Good Luck

Step One: Steal the man's walker.
Step Two: Run away with it.
Step Three: Call her.

How do you know it was her grandfather? Maybe he's just an old guy who's been unlucky in love and hates to see other people, much less young whippersnappers like yourself, succeed where he failed miserably for 50+ years so he goes around and pretends to be the old, scary, overly protective grandfather type.

YOU NEVER KNOW!!!!

H0w l0ng should I wait for a reply before calling her? I was thinking either call her Monday, or Wednesday/Friday, maybe aft3r w0rk.

That's hilarious! If I put that in my signature, do you think people would understand it?

lets see... you sent her an email on Friday, yes? Today is Sunday... I guess this one boils down to your own personal preference. Might as well just give her a ring when have a chance and see if this thing is going to work out for you.

I would have just called her in the 1st place, it can take forever for someone to answer an email.

2nd...I've gotta repeat this:

Seriously

3rd...I wouldn't let grandpa deter you.

Adam89 · 08-05-2007, 04:23 PM

Tis' me.

My YP said to wait a week, I want to call her Monday. :P

To wait or not to wait, that is the question.

3 guys @ my church said you don't want to sound desperate, you'll scare her off, or she'll use you.

What should I say? ??!!!!?????!?!?!?!?!??!

Ok, if the time between when you email her & call her determines whether she'll use you or not...I don't think that's the type of girl you want to hang out with.

Now, I'm not saying anything about her...I'm just trying to point out how dumb that sounds to me. Just wondering, what would waiting a week to call her do?
