Met a girl, but want to have some fun in getting to know her...

[and_for_what]

Hi everyone. Well, today, quite unexpectedly, I met a nice girl. She was at her place of work, and I noticed her because she was looking my way, then a bit later she struck up a conversation with me when there was no real need to do so. I cooperated, and we chatted for five minutes about matters that were relevant, and then not-so-relevant. I said goodbye and let her get back to work. I was left with no doubts that she was interested in me, and she's rather pretty and seems nice from what little I know.

So, I was quite excited by the prospect of, at some point, going back there (I have a credible reason to), and maybe speaking to her again. Our topics of conversation, and her line of work, gave me a very good idea about somewhere to suggest we go, eventually, and I was looking forward to doing that in the end, maybe in weeks or months to come.

I've only got to know two girls before, and neither were anything like this kind of situation. This is a classic type of "meeting someone" situation, though, isn't it - you know what I mean. And now it's my job to find reasons to bump into her at work occasionally, and eventually ask her out. It seems rather fun!

BUT - and this is the point of the post...
Just now, a few hours after I left her, I got a message on facebook from her! Knowing my first name and something that I mentioned I was involved in, she looked me up, and apparently chanced to message me from the dozen or so other people with my first name who would have come up.
OK - so, she's interested. Fact.

BUT - I'm kind of dissappointed that she messaged me, because of what I talked about above - I wanted to do it the old fashioned way for once! So, I reckon I'm not going to reply to her message, and go for it anyway, the way I said above.
Still, though, the fact that she messaged me has given my confidence a boost that I really didn't need.


Any opinions on this plan?

I don't see what the big deal is.

She's interested, she let you know, so go for it.. you ignoring it and stretching asking her out over weeks or months of getting to know her will probably make her lose interest.

So you're kinda disappointed (don't know if this the right thing you're feeling) because she made the first moves? ...

if you like her, go...Don't think that because she's the girl, she would just wait until you approach her, it's different nowadays...

You already missed your best chance at her. A lot of guys can get a convo started with a girl, but a real man can ask her for her number or if she wants to go out sometime.
