So I was walking with this girl yesterday who was my lab partner for this semester. We've became pretty good friends in class and got along very well. We've already finished our final lab for the semester, so we won't be working together in class anymore, so I decided to ask her out that moment. I first asked her: Hey do you wanna have dinner with me this weekend? She said depending on if she has time, then yes. I then narrowed it down to Saturday night, saying that time works best for me, and then, she said she said most likely, she's free Sat. night too so yes. About 24 hours before the date, I told her of the specifics, and asked if she still willing to go, and she said that her friend's birthday is Saturday so she couldn't make it. She didn't offer any alternate dates or anything. Obviously I'm disappointed, and I feel like that I should just drop her and move on. Before I commit to my decision, though, what do you guys think I should do? How should I respond? Should I move on, tell her to reschedule herself if/when she wants to, or schedule another date with her one more time?

Anytime a girl tells you "depending on if I have time", she's probably not into going out with you. Flaking on you after giving you a flaky yes in the first place pretty much seals the deal. Add to that not offering an alternative to the flake-off and you can consider it dead.

Just leave this one alone.

I agree. The b.s. "If I have time" or "We'll see" or the dreaded "I'll think about it" are kisses of death. She's not that interested. Move on.

I think she's probably not interested. Because she tells you she's probably free. Then later says her friend's birthday is Sat. Something fishy about that, because how does she not know when her friend's birthday is until 24 hours before it? Unless this "friend" is someone just just met that day. lol

So I say move on. She was just too awkward to come out and say "I only wanna be friends" or "I'm not interested."

Should have struck earlier, during class when you first met - now she sees you as a class partner and not much more than that

She has your number, so I would just ask her to give you a call if she wants to get together. This serves to put the ball in her court, but it also sends a message that if she doesn't call, you aren't going to pine over her. It make you a little hard to get.

From a lot of experience, that usually means in most cases that they aren't interested in you.

Can't hurt to let her have you know when a good time would be. If she never responses back, then you have your answer.

Move on. She second guessed her decision to take your school peer relationship into the dating arena. You should too.

Yes, "We'll see" - it doesn't really mean anything, does it?! It's usually said to fob you off.

The 'forgetting' of the friend's birthday was suspicious! She could've also said that she couldn't make it this Saturday, but would like to meet next Saturday (or something like that).
