Question

sprinkles

I met a girl in a pub about 6 months ago. We got on great, she was very good looking and a great personality, got her number and she seemed keen for me to text her.

So I did. I asked her out however she never replied. I forgot all about it until one night during the week I get a text that went soemthing like:

"hey, you prob don't remember me, we met in Carnival about 5 months ago. Sorry for not responding [bad timing]. I know its totally out of order to ask but would you like to go out for drinks sometime next week?"

Now, I thought about it and said yes. However the more I think about it the more strange it is. If a guy sent that text to a girl she'd think him a psycho.

So I'm just wondering what people's opinions are on this.

Cheers

well it's only out for a drink.. ask her what the bad timing was and see what happens. If the whole thing seems odd, tell her goodbye and leave. She could be psycho or she could have an extremely good reason for not getting back to you then!

I personally would go out for the drink with her and see how it goes. You have nothing to lose. See how you get on. She could have had a perfectly valid excuse for it being bad timing, so just see how it goes. Have fun !

Yeah that's pretty strange alright, but still no reason not to meet her, i mean what's the worst that could happen? Like you said, she seemed pretty cool and you fancied her...it's a good start!

Plus she probably had a boyfriend and now they've broken up...that's why it was "bad timing"
but you can take two positives from this:

1/ She obviously really liked you too, and after all that time was still thinking about you...
and 2/ She dosen't screw around behind her boyfriends back!

Anyway, you can always just ask her when you see her, im sure there's a perfectly ordinary reason for it all...I say Go for it man!

Oh, and yes you're right, if it was the other way around, the guy would be considerd a psycho. *shrugs shoulders*

Its not weird at all! Every once in a while I call or text people from years ago. All in all it's normal to attempt to reconnect with your past.

Theory: Found your number again? I once found a number on a piece of paper. Called the girl to find out who she was! Ended up dating for a while! Hate the social stigmas so I dont buy into them!

eh, that kinda sounds like she may want you as a rebound, that was my first thought or impression from the story. sorry to put a downer on it

Pft, I still remember this random guy I met in a bar once. Nice guy. Not sure if I bothered deleting his number from my phone or not.

Just go out for the drink with her, it's hardly weird, plus you get to know someone new. What's wrong with that :rolleyes:

The joy of text

Most likely situation, she was clearing out old text messages and saw yours sitting down the bottom of her Inbox.

For what ever reason, maybe she has just broken up, maybe she just forgot a few months ago, maybe she is nuts, but she thinks a date would be nice

If you think she was nice, and she is really really good looking, go for it. Just meet in a well public well lit area

I quite like it and the girls in there... A nice pre-whelans crowd.

Not much to lose in going along and seeing what happens..

I actually had a guy text me once after we'd met though he sent the text at 2am and I just hit my phone and kept on sleeping. A few weeks later after thinking he was a bastard for not calling I was looking through my inbox and found his message.. woops.. we ended up seeing each other for a year

sprinkles

Well I met her last night for a few drinks. Went really well. She's very sound, the 5/6 hours in the bar flew by. I didn't pry into what she meant by "bad timing" but she did say that she thought she'd better text me incase Karma came back and bit her in the a$$. Anyway, all in all it was a good night and no doubt I'll be seeing her again.

Cheers for all the opinions on it....

Or programmed the number into her phone and found it when scrolling through the list.
