LOL, did you read the post? He said she was beautiful, why would she say yes, when he lied about checking his schedule. When opportunity knocks, you say yes, but don't say what he said. It's a straight lie, and she knows it.....

No, learning to accept himself is more important, than what you say. If he is awkward, do you think getting rejected is going to help his self-esteem? Yes it gives him more experience, but it's bad experience. And with those experiences, will come even lower self esteem.

I think she might be wanting to make fun of me or laugh in my face if I accept, like "How did it ever cross your mind I would go out with you?"

Really? Really?? Okay, now you sound like me when a guy's interested.. he must be this and that.

Dude, she likes you! What's so hard to believe about that? In your eyes you may think your average, but maybe you're her type and accept that!

Plus, you're also attracted to her, so have FUN. Chaysus boyeeh!! *shakes head*

Called her and accepted it. We're going to meet tomorrow night. She sounded like she was happy. Let's see how it goes.

Someone hands you every college man's dream on a silver platter, and you're dithering about what to do, and what her ulterior motives could be?

Get this: many women don't care about a guy's looks, they're more into his character and personality. Obviously, she liked what she saw in you during your class collaboration, and wants to get to know you. Go with the flow.

And: these days women do ask guys out, especially if they already know the guy somewhat, and think he's potentially a great guy. They don't want to miss out on the "great guy" part.


But you'd better give yourself a confidence overhaul, or she might get turned off. Your attitude borders on the pathetic.

Is this a serious question .

Go there, and if she starts talking about relationship, tell her to give you time. She will appreciate the response. Women like things to move at a reasonable pace. Its not like they are going to smooch you in an instant. I have been to ice cream shops several times with women (outside my family), one on one. And none of them even gave cues hinting a relationship.

Dude, it's coffee. It's not an invitation to a swingers' orgy. Relax. Enjoy. And don't monopolize the conversation, if the urge arises out of nervousness, or something. Pretend it's just another meeting for the class project.

you are either incredibly dense, or you are always suspicious of everyone and their motives for anything.

dude, you hit the mother load. this girl is interested in you, go have coffee with her, even if you dont like coffee. get to know this girl, perhaps she just likes you and wants to get to know you, it really does happen. i know it has happened to me a few times over the years.

if you dont go you could be passing up the chance at a really good relationship. and yes it is possible that she is setting you up for a nerd party, but even if that happens, go with it and show her and her stuck up friends that you wont be embarrassed by their snobbery, and that you do in fact know how to have fun.

not everyone has devious motives behind asking someone out though.
