masaki1085 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 A friend of mine has been attempting for awhile now (a couple months) to set me up with a friend of hers from her work. The problem--why its been awhile--is simply the difficulty in trying to set up a situation where her friend and I could meet in person. Maybe about a month ago, this girl had expressed to my friend an interest in becoming a teacher. Figuring this would be a good opportunity for an introduction, my friend suggested to her that I become facebook friends with her since I am, in fact, a teacher myself and could possibly answer her questions. From what I understand, this girl knows that my friend is trying to set us up with each other. She seemed receptive to the idea, and after I was told about this I went ahead and facebooked her. We have had a brief (but pleasant) introductory exchange of messages, but she never asked me any questions about teaching yet or initiated any further discussion. About a week ago, my friend and her friend thought a group outing would be a good plan for an in-person meeting. The plan had been about a week in the making--a bunch of us were going to go karaoke. I was invited (by my friend) so that I would finally have an opportunity to meet this girl--the girl was also aware of this and from what I was told, was excited. However, at the very last minute my friend's friend bailed--I never got to meet her in person. She cancelled because she wanted to meet an author that came into town--from my understanding, the girl my friend wants me to meet is a tremendous "book nerd." I AM interested in meeting this girl, but am unsure what to do now--I was looking forward to meeting her at the outing that was planned. I don't know if I should wait for my friend to set up some sort of group outing again. Or, since I have already introduced myself via facebook, I thought that maybe asking her out for a cup of coffee might be a good idea, but I'm not sure. Again, I've never seen or met this girl in person, and I haven't really messaged her on facebook beyond the initial introductory contact. But, if I want to meet this girl, I feel like I should take initiative since I am able. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites
