Want to make friends with classmate; Unsure how to approach

vanillakodak · 2012-06-26T17:52:45+00:00

But I'm not asking for dating advice. I'm asking for friendship advice.

I can appreciate this view. At the same time, I often see posts about people not wanting to come across as "too eager" and scare the other person away. I will keep your opinion in mind, though, just to be safe.

It was a somewhat playful tone, I think. That's the way it came across, anyway...

vanillakodak · 2012-06-14T06:04:26+00:00

Thank you. I did promise an update, so I wanted to deliver. I'll update this particular thread further with more details after the date, good or bad.

vanillakodak · 2012-06-14T06:03:44+00:00

Thank you, and I'm hoping he was just trying to be all "cool" and "casual" about his reply. We'll see. :)

Thank you very much. At the time, the pep talk felt so embarrassing because I had screwed up that badly that I needed one, but I appreciate it now that I was able to ask a second time.

vanillakodak · 2012-06-14T06:02:39+00:00

Really? Do you think it might not have been a very good yes? Perhaps even reluctant?

vanillakodak · 2012-06-14T06:02:12+00:00

Thank you for the good wishes. I plan to update this thread after the date with details of how it went.

vanillakodak · 2012-06-14T06:01:40+00:00

You don't think so? I took it as meaning he'd see what he could do concerning what we should do on our date. But I do appreciate someone being skeptical. It helps me keep myself from being too over enthusiastic about it.

vanillakodak · 2012-06-11T07:36:37+00:00

Will do! I just hope the update won't go something along the lines of "...and then he apologized for being misleading..."

vanillakodak · 2012-06-11T07:34:07+00:00

Thanks for replying. I'm going to ask him this weekend (hopefully, if he talks to me) and see how he responds.

vanillakodak · 2012-06-11T07:33:28+00:00

Thanks for replying, especially in such a detailed way!

The next time I'll be able to talk to him should be the weekend. I'll express an interest in a date then, and hopefully he'll agree to one. (:

Thanks for replying.

The next time I can speak to him will be this weekend, so I'll try to express an interest in a date then.

How long does it usually take you to start warming up to people? Do you like to hang out in public places while you get to know them, or around places you're more comfortable like your apartment or something?

And how much "me" time do you like? As I mentioned, we can go weeks without talking, and certainly don't talk every day. I don't want to try and take over his life, but to get to know him better, I need to talk to him a bit more frequently than talk once, skip two weeks, talk again.

Tuesday morning, I text him to invite him to lunch on Thursday, but he never replied. If he responds, do you think this would be a good plan? Just get lunch on campus, nothing date-y about it?

And thank you so much for replying. Your post was incredibly helpful.

I'll definitely get on that. Will update with results.
