asking someone out - question

[Pat "5mph"]

Ok, after chatting about this and that (mostly formal stuff) I did ask her out for a drink, her response was that she was very busy at the moment, things are a bit manic with work (she has just started a new teaching job, on top of several other things she already does), however she did mention things may calm down a bit towards the end of term so she isn't saying yes or no yet. The plan now is just to carry on as normal and maybe ask her again towards the end of this year/early next year assuming things have quietened down for her by then. If not then it probably means she is too busy for any sort of relationship anyway.

She does cycle to the school where she works along part of the same route as I do to get to work, so I offered to accompany her along the main road (A281) if she is passing through my village in the morning and her back road way is impassible for any reason (i.e. if the weather get bad in the winter). She doesn't have a car.

Well done for asking, Al78, it was not so difficult, was it?
Sadly, the answer seems to be that she's not instantly smitten with you: never fear, though, there might be a chance that you grow on her.
Keep talking to her, on getting to know you better she might ask you out for a drink.

That was a very kind way of saying no

I think PS has hit the nail on the head there. Just let it lie now, keep being her friend and you never know, she may come back later in the term and say how about that drink. Well done for plucking up the courage

This thread has lasted longer than most of my relationships with the opposite sex.

Lasted longer than any of mine!

she rides a bike!

Look, matey, I've sorted this for you. Come on the 28th September FNRttC to Brighton (you'll have to get your skates on to register), drop an account of this in to the conversation (I can do you the poetic bits if you want) and then invite her on to the first Brighton FNRttC in 2013. Follow the link below

People fall in love on our rides. Seriously.

That's a 'No'. Plenty more fish in the sea... move on and don't waste any time pondering Life is too short!

p.s. bad luck but at least you asked and now you know!

Good sound advice

It's better to regret something you have done than something you haven't done, at least according to the soundbite at the start of 'Satan' by Orbital.

A drummer in a band I know swears by popping a Viagra before going out on the pull, he swears it never fails to catch attention...

Be careful though.....bloke swallowed a viagra pill and it got stuck in his throat.
He had a stiff neck for hours

He could have tried the new 007 Viagra - apparently it makes you Roger Moore

Oh dear. I tend to have a bias for older women, they appear to be more sensible, mature, less flaky and more up for a proper relationship than their younger counterparts (i.e. not games players).

Since my three major relationships have all been with older women... I can catagorically state that 'they appear to be...' is the operative phrase.

Well done for asking her. You'll never regret that but you would have regretted not asking her.

Just play it cool now and be her friend. You never know what the future has in store for you.
