Met someone who was very attractive last week. However, since she was already with another guy, who she met on the internet, I spent most of the time engaging her friend instead. There's something that I really want to do around where I live that her friend isn't into, but she is. I am going to ask her this week to do it, particulary since there about only 1 month to get it in. Should I say, when I ask her, "I won't assume this is a date"....to make her possibly feel more at ease, or should I just keep slient about it, since even me mentioning "date" could make her do a double take? Of course I find her attractive, however, I've tried to find someone to do the activity I want to do for over 1 month and no takers. I moved to the area not too long ago....

I think you should just ask her if she wants to do this activity because you're going to and wouldn't mind a companion.

Her internet date might have been just that, it doesn't mean she's committed to anything in any way. Just like if she does some activity with you means any commitment beyond that.

I think it boils down to the question of whether men and women can be "just friends" or not.

Why is she not attractive this week? J/k

I think you should just say you heard/know she likes XYZ and you would love to have her join you since you like it also.

No big deal. If it turns into a date, great. If not, oh well.

Since you only have a month to "get it in", you need to start pumping like the devil now.
As long as her friend isn't into it, you'll have to go it alone. I always liked it in the great outdoors too,
just she and I together, the birds chirping and the leaves rustling! Pick out a nice spot in the meadow,
spread out the blanket and Go for it dude.

If it really isn't a date, then it really isn't a date. Say so.

If you have an inkling of taking this further, just do the activity without complicated questions and see if you two mesh well together.

Keep your options open.

just ask her if she wants to do it, because it is a common interest you have

don't say it's not a date because it introduces being a date into the converstion

it's like saying to someone "i've never been in prison" right away they're wondering why are you mentioning it and you probably have a prison record.

don't say date

Agree with the others not to say anything about whether it's a date or not. Just invite her because you think she might like to go, then let nature take it's course.
