Your NYE plans?

[CapitalGuy]

......when I asked "what are you doing NYE", none of the speculation included being with me. Maybe I was supposed to invite her?

Friggin' funny. I am going through the same thing with a (very) new girl right now. I asked her her plans, she listed a couple options but said none of them were firmed up. We are just pals right now and its very iffy whether we will last even a few more dates. It would be completely expected that we both could have other plans.

But I was wondering the same thing you are...was I supposed to ask her out for NYE? If so, she could simply have said "I don't have any firm plans" rather than "I might do this and I could do that." But as it stands it sounded like her and her group of girlfriends are going out as a flock, and I would rather not be the only guy (and only non-immigrant, native Engrish speaker) in the pack. But the question lingers... did she want me to ask her directly or not. Normally, I ask for what I want, but this relationship is a bit awkward right now so I will leave her alone tonight, and go to a house party chez boring but very nice married co-workers.

...in my case, I was reminded later that I have parental duty, and that is why none of her speculation included me.

Doh!!

Does that make me a lousy Dad that I forgot?

You may be teetering on the knife-edge of the "friend zone." It's like the black hole of relationships: Once you're her "friend," there is no escape.

But maybe that's another thread entirely...

If it gets to that there's an easy escape...stop calling her. I have not yet had a problem with moving on once things sour, or if they simply don't start up in the first place.

This girl is Korean though, and from what I can tell from her friends and co-workers, as well as third hand stories from an Aussie friend of mine, many or most Korean girls take a while to warm up to a guy. She's gorgeous though so my big brain just ain't workin' right, ya know.
