Intro and advice greatly appreciated
Hi everyone, my name's Alex and am looking forward to communicating with you in the near future. I suppose what bought me to these board was the scenario I'll explain below.
I went out earlier today with a girl I met at a birthday party of someone I know a few weeks ago. Firstly I was amazed that she agreed to go out with me as I'm not very good with these kind of things (I'm 28 and never been in a proper relationship).
Anyway I feel it went well as we went for a walk and then for a coffee afterwards where we got to know each other a bit more and chat/laugh a bit. When we said bye to each other I asked if she wanted to me up in about 10 days time to go somewhere else to which she said she'll see if she was free. I went back home feeling quite good.
Anyway I've now noticed a private message she sent me on facebook saying thank you for meeting up. She would just like to be friends though and that she hoped I didn't mind her saying that as she didn't lead me on.
This has led to me wondering if I was maybe a bit too full on when I asked if she wanted to meet up again in about 10 days time or whether I should have left it a while.
Should I just forget this or is that the sign of me giving up too quickly. I don't have much (if any) experience with this sort of thing that I feel completely stuck and useless. I haven't replied to her as I think it would be too soon but do people reckon I should forget it or say to her that I didn't mean to be full on and whether we could try again?
Many thanks in advance for any replies
Alex
