BellaOnline Forums Relationships Dating Getting back into the dating game

Hi all, So after a few years I am getting back into the dating game and looking for a new GF. I'm 29 and tbh it's time to get serious again. So here is my current situation. 6 of our friends gathered at a restaurant for a drink before we had to go to a wedding. My one friend had an old, longtime friend going with him to the wedding (yes they are just friends) One thing I noticed is the 1st comment (well more of a response) I made about something this woman laughed at. That was even before we where introduced, as I just joined the group. I did not introduce myself, but sat down and shortly thereafter she introduced herself. We talked along as a group and at some point I made a funny comment about something and she laughed again. We all went to the wedding and just in general all had a good time, had some drinks, shots etc. I did chat with her quiet a bit, but not excessively. At some point we realised that we know some of the same people from another town and then she said I should go with her to a party or wedding that other friend will have in the other town in about 2 months time from now (it was a few hours into the wedding and we all had some drinks and I dont know what to think about this) So we contunued on with the wedding and a bit later while standing @ the bar, waiting for drinks and chatting away she said I should take her number, and so I did. Now what exactly does the above say to you? What should it say to me? I've been out of the game for a few years now (had a longtime GF) but have really bumped my head before when asking someone out etc. So I really do like this girl, (how do you think she feels about me?) and that night we have fun chatting and partying together. Now if I want to see her again, I guess I need to ask her out. Waiting till we get together as a group will be to long and tbh I dont think thats the right aproach. (I am carefull these days thou) How should I go about this? How long should I wait before calling her and what exactly do I say, do I just ask her out on a date? What, where etc should this date be? Do I ask her out in the week after work, or on the weekend? Do I ask her for a drink @ the local cocktail bar? normal bar? Out to dinner and a relaxed fun restaurant or a upclass restaurant? Or can I ask her to acompany me to other friends big birthday party (people she dont know) - not allot of 1 on 1 time with this one. Any advice or help would be appreciated Thanks all :)

She seems pretty casual, so i think any of the options you mentioned are fine.. she would be going out with you because you are you and the activity sounds fun.. no need to be perfect. You seem to really like her, and I think that's really cute! Good luck, I hope she says yes and that you have a great time!

It sounds like she would be interested in seeing you. Call her and ask her out to dinner....somewhere casual. Let us know what happens. Good Luck
