Not of the Mike Sorrentino kind lol, but dunno what to think of this situtation. I pretty much have a routine where i stop @ this spot roughly a certain day/time every week. Seen/met/conversed with this person maybe 3x, 4x tops in the past 2 months. Always kept convos short and sweet. Since I first seen the person, I've found them very attractive, but despite wanting to, I never attempted to press forward because I firmly hold belief in the "don't mess where you eat" saying.

Come to find out this person will no longer be at this spot, so I'm all awesome go for it. Before getting to to that point, I ask why leaving. Person is moving very shortly, so now in my mind it's all hmmm what to do.

I go do my usual thing, and afterwards chat for a little bit, since they are leaving. This chat ended up lasting like ~1hr, and sometime in the middle of it I was told I don't normally give out my number and was asked if I wanted to get together before the person left. Said sure and we exchanged numbers.

I've never had this situation, so I don't know what to make of this. Obviously, don't know each other well, remembered my name after 1st meeting, wore a nice outfit the last day knowing I'd have 99% probability of being there. Would us getting together be considered a date? Should a kiss be involved if the feeling is there?

Very well intend to set something up with this person, shooting for Monday night. It's VD I know, but time is short. It would be nothing extravagant, but some sort of fun activity.

Talking depends on where you live

Depends on where you live.... Any restaurant on valentines will be very busy... Do you cook??? make them a dinner.. nice bottle of wine and that should be a great place to really talk and get to know each other.. hopefully they aren't moving too far and you can still date afterwards... don't forget the candles

Not talking a couple miles. I think I'd drive a couple miles for this person, but I'm actually talking time zones, which is why I'm somewhat confused as to how to handle this situation. Person obviously is into me and wants to see me before leaving. I think they are expecting a "Date", but dunno if I should handle it like an outing with my brother, or like a date with touching and maybe a kiss, because I've never been in a situation where I've just met someone who wants to get together, but knows they are leaving.

Since this would be the 1st get together, I don't intend to do any typical extravagant VD thing like roses, dinner, etc. It could very well be the first and last time I see this person, but really hoping for another happens before leaving. If we do get together that night, at the most I'd probably go to the local store and just get a small stuffed VD animal and say "Happy VD, I just couldn't come empty handed on this day."

Whats with all the gender neutral stuff? You just about blow a gasket trying NOT to say he or she. Do you think that our answers will be different if we find out you are gay? LOL

Just ask "them" out and see where it goes. It could be start of a great romance, or a special friendship, or not! You'll never know until you try.

Good relationships are rare - if you're presented with the opportunity to enter one I would think it's worth the mileage on your vehicle to pursue it.

Go for it, and have a good time!

That's either true love or insanity - pretty much the same thing, when you come to think of it.
