You are the guy, so show a little initiative with something like "hope you are having a nice day" text or "just saw a .... and was thinking of you." (insert the kind of car she drives, or the kind of dog she has or whatever.
That doesn't work in America. Sorry.

Dude, are you not reading what people are saying? My comment wasn't to act, you already acted. Move on. F the "holding pattern". You asked. It's on her.

Move on and live your darn life.

I didn't say "ask!" I said you'll know if she contacts you. In other words, wait. If you don't hear from her then you have your answer and it's time to move on.

A little patience can go a long way.

That's jumping the gun.

Ask somebody else out for coffee. Why even someone less attractive. Heck, maybe you'll bump into her and she will see you are not waiting around.

It is irrelevant. Why are you not getting that? You acted. It is up to her to make the next move. So time to move ahead.

I swear, you're sounding like the dude on here that went on for months about a woman he thought he had a chance with at the gym. It was crazeeeee.

Buy a clue. They're cheap.

I don't know, some clues have to be sharp to get through a thicker barrier. Those are more expensive.

Oh geez, so that was YOU.

I always knew we'd run into one another again...

Yes, OP. Simply asking for coffee is not jumping the gun. BUT you know what's going on. She is calling you, IF she still wants the date. If she doesn't, she isn't calling. It is that simple and none of us is psychic and can tell you any more than that.

Isn't a "coffee date" like an afternoon type thing? *Super-busy* people probably work all day or have school, hobbies, housework, errands, kids or whatever, so don't necessarily have room to squeeze in a recreational coffee meetup into their day.. it just sounds tedious.

Guess I figure dinner/drinks is always the better option. Nobody's too busy to eat, lol. And what woman turns down wine? Lol- Tell me that doesn't sound great right about now!
