So, I met this girl and we really hit it off well. Texting all the time, talking on the phone and dates. Well, I messed up and told her I liked her, I know big mistake, but I was sure she felt the same. Predictively things went cold after that. About a week later I was thinking about how she mentioned she liked flowers. So, I took a really big risk, went with my gut and sent some to her. Now, this could have turned out one of three ways and two are bad. She’d either like them, feel indifferent about it or worst case she’d think I’m crazy. Well, I got lucky and she liked them and said it was “really really awesome of me to do” and how nobody’s ever done anything like that for her before. So now, I’ve got her back on the line and I don’t want to scare her off again. We started, albeit slowly, texting again. So, my question is…..What’s the best way to approach this now? I’m pretty sure I need to be a bit distant so I don’t come off as needy/desperate but I’m at a loss otherwise. I do know that she needs to come to me as I’ve obviously made my interest pretty clear. Any advice would be seriously appreciated.

Why are you texting her? You made a grandiose gesture, it seems to have worked well and warmed her back up. Now get her out.

I guess I should add this all (Flowers/2nd Chance) went down yesterday. Timing is a problem as we’re both parents. It’s my weekend with my daughter, so the earliest we could meet up is next week sometime. I plan on setting something up then. I’m thinking about not contacting her at all, unless she initiates, until maybe Monday or so. I’ll ask her out and take it from there if she agrees and if she doesn’t then I’ll just move on.

Medalis,

There is no reason to wait until Monday to contact her. You are both parents and your schedules are probably pretty packed, so the earlier you set up the date the better. Waiting until Monday could cause her to be booked for a the week.

Stay radio silent for a day or so then contact her to set up the date.

If you wait she will begin coming down from the emotional high of the flowers and she may go cold again. As Luego said get her out, who knows maybe she is free Monday!! :)
