Dating : Uni friend (22F) from back home wants to hang out next time I (24F) visit the city. I suggested drinks on a friday/saturday night.
One of my friends I met my last year in school that i’ve always crushed on a bit wants to hang out with me whenever I get back in town. We’ve never hung out 1-on-1 before because of the pandemic, but I suggested getting drinks friday or saturday night next month and she was really enthusiastic about it. I know I didn’t exactly specify that it’s a date as I wanted to keep it somewhat casual since this is our first 1-on-1 meetup (weve only hung out in group setting during school before the pandemic so it was hard to isolate ourselves together during that short timespan of 2019).
Just a little background info of us. She first introduced herself to me at the start of the school year and added me on social some weeks later. We usually only text at least once a week or a couple times a month but going back over a lot of our texts during 2020 she was often flirtatious with me (calling my pictures cute/handsome, cool hair, etc. etc.) and joking around a lot/frequent banter. When I recently got in touch with her was when she suggested that we should finally hang out together and she missed seeing me (havn’t seen her in over a year since pandemic started). Also she’s always commenting on my IG posts, reacting to my stories, and has been #1 on my viewers list for a very long time- Just taking that into account.
**Does this sound like she’s interested?** I never could properly get to know her personally (just the two of us) or ask her out since the couple of months we did see each other in school I was working 30 hours a week and doing senior design so it was very difficult. I feel like most of it was just bad timing with me graduating + coronavirus too. I figured I could take her out for a light dinner and chat over drinks and just see where things go before even thinking about a proper second date. She’s always been pretty shy so her wanting to see me just kind of felt like a big deal. Thoughts or tips?
