She should give him her phone number again if it goes well tomorrow, even though he technically has the RSVP. These days most people with mutual friends connect through Facebook. I'm surprised this hasn't already happened.
So they saw each other (yesterday) ... didn't go so well.
At the beginning of the event, he attempted to talk to her (coming over to where she was standing/helping some children.) At that point, they exchanged pleasantries, but when she sat to help a small child, he sort of faded away. She was concerned she gave him the impression of "brushing him off" (also she kept getting pulled away by various people and then her ear talked off by another woman, etc.) At the end of the event, she attempted to "stick around" and talk to him, but the event was quickly wrapping up- people were leaving. They exchanged pleasantries (on the way out) but that was about it...
Her concern: if she attempts to friend him on FB, follow up with him (somehow), attempt to reach out ... that it'll look pushy/crazy. Is she wrong that if he was "still" interested, then he would of found away to chat on the way out?! He certainly found a way Saturday afternoon...

Any advice?
Oh please, I frequently talked to my mom about dating and asked her for advice when I was dating. We're close and I valued her opinion. She ASKED you, so clearly she wants your input.
In my opinion, if he really is interested he would have found a way to ask her out. Didn't you say he has her number? I'm sure there are a lot of people here who will tell you things worked out for them because the woman pursued, but in my experience I've never had good luck when I had to make the effort to pursue the guy. Plus, they just saw each other, so he could still reach out to her. I would just see what happens.

Any advice?
Can she get his phone number from someone? (Does she know anybody else who knows him? Who invited each of them to this event?)
I'd tell my kid, if you really want to meet the guy, take the chance of looking crazy and pushy and try to give him a call. If it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. Worst case is she has closure, best case a conversation.
After that though, I would tell my kid, live and learn.
I believe Nixon was a lawyer for PepsiCo in 1965 after serving as Vice President under Eisenhower until 1961 and becoming President after LBJ in 1969.
Thanks for the history lesson ...
I married in June of 1969 ... I met my husband in 1965 (which is when I stopped dating) hence my feeling a bit "lost."
