Hello everyone, I could really use some advice on a situation I’m in at the moment. Last September a new girl started working at the store I work at. I never actually worked at the same time as her, as we were the same position and would always work with a superior, but I hang out there sometimes when I’m not working and quickly developed a liking for her. To make a long story short, we hung out a few times outside of work (always with all of my coworkers in a group) including a Halloween party where my costume was a BIG hit with her. Turned out she had a matching costume, but only didn’t wear it because her hair wasn’t long enough for it at the time. I also over this period found out she was moving away to go to school elsewhere in January, so I never really pursued anything very hard.
After she moved I kept in contact with her, having conversations fairly often through Facebook messages. Flash forward to a couple weeks ago, I find out she is going to be visiting here for almost 3 months in the summer. I’ve decided that if she is going to be visiting often, and for such long periods of time I should just go for it. I mentioned there was going to be a convention in our area while she was down here, and she said she definitely wanted to go, though we hadn’t made full plans or anything (still haven’t) About a week later I post a normal Facebook wall post asking if anyone would be interested in going to a concert about 3 hours away from where I live, to my surprise she was the first responder with an enthusiastic yes. I asked her for her number so that when I knew how many people were coming I could text her to quickly confirm before purchasing the tickets. She gave me her number, and I since have texted her to confirm and purchased tickets. One other guy is coming as well unfortunately, couldn’t stop that from happening after the open request for people.
The question I’m trying to get at, is where I go from here. I have been debating whether I should start texting her the random conversations we previously had on Facebook. For example, I want to let her know a cool new website has opened up for something we are both huge fans of. Would it be weird to text her that out of the blue?
I am also trying to decide how to plan this trip later this summer. She wanted the cheapest ticket, but by the time we got tickets they were sold out, I ended up having to get a ticket about $35 more and am just going to pay the difference myself. I asked if she would be willing to get a little higher than the cheap one, but she said she couldn’t. Which leads to the next point, that the concert is at 8:00 pm and I doubt I will feel like driving home after. I would like to stay overnight, but obviously she does not have the money to spend on a hotel room.
My main question is about how to continue contacting her now that I have her number, but if anyone has any advice for the trip that would be great as well. I’ve not had much luck in this department in the past, and really like this girl, so I really don’t want to screw this up. Thanks so much to anyone who can help me out. Sorry for the length of this post, but I felt the whole story needed to be told for advice to be given. Thanks again.
