Journal: seeking advice & other notes
[Warded to Mel, Roger, & Mari] -- So... When is the right time to ask a guy out on a date? Or, is that not a thing that I should do? Or what if I'm totally wrong? I just... there's been a lovely lunch and drinks and notes back and forth but... not once have I been asked out on a date. Am I missing something here?

[Warded to Fin] -- It was nice running into you the other night. Definitely better than balancing my books like I always do on the 14th. Something about company and a glass a wine that picks up a girl's whole week.

[Warded to Gemma] -- Is the salon doing holiday-themed nail treatments yet? I've got a hundred meetings for holiday parties this coming week so was thinking something subtle might give me an edge. Let me know if you've got an opening? PS. Tokyo was a blast, I don't know if I ever said that outright.

I tend to have designs ready year-round - there are a few types who ask for reindeer and santas in July. In other words, you name it and I can do it, love. I've an opening this coming Tuesday if you'd like to come in the afternoon.

Tokyo was brilliant, and my goddaughter loved the shirt I brought her. Hey, as long as you enjoyed yourself, I'm happy. Would definitely be up to doing it again if you're ever in need of someone to hit the clubs or match you drink for drink at Finnigan's, and I'm occasionally on the open stage there on Fridays if you ever feel like hearing my attempt at No Sickles, No Problems.

	Tuesday afternoon is perfect, I'll see you then. And I am absolutely interested in your rendition! I'm the worst singer in the history of magic, I'm sure, but I can be a fierce fan in the audience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	See you then! I'm sure you're not that bad, and I promise to be fabulous for you should you come. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Uh... when you feel like asking him out?

Why shouldn't you ask him out and why would you be totally wrong about anything?

Yes, yes, I know, it's rubbish of me to answer your questions with new questions, but I highly doubt there are any real rules about this. Lovely lunch, drinks and notes back and forth doesn't exactly make it seem like he's uninterested but why he hasn't asked you out, I don't know. Then again, you are kind of busy an dif it is who I think it is, then he could be busy too. Does he know that you're interested in a date with him?

HOW IS A LOVELY LUNCH AND DRINKS NOT DATES?

	...the lunch was take out at my office and drinks was just running into each other at the pub when I was working on my paperwork. Neither count as dates, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Take out at your office? Was he there to book you for party? Or was he there for take out at your office? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He sent me a message in the journal and it was a Wednesday and he wasn't busy and I was and he came over with take out from the Pub. Remember when I asked you to keep Carmen and Amanda at your place for a 'long lunch'? But it was... take away and new acquaintance conversation.

Though, I'm not sure, but I think he just asked me out? When I sent a note to you all, I sent one to him, too, saying I was glad to run into him the other night. And then he asked if I want to join him for a glass of wine sometime?

Yes, yes, I remember that day, and I wasn't asking specifics... although now that you started, tell me everything!

Anyway, I just meant, you had lunch with him at your office. HE brought lunch to you at your office and he wasn't there to book a party. I'd say that's a pretty good "new acquaintance conversation". That "new acquaintance conversation", though, would that be the kind of conversation you have with someone you want to get to know? Oh, Rowena, if only there was a word that could describe such a situation...

You're asking me if he just asked you out? Sounds like he was glad to run into you too. Cho, love, just go with it. Relax. If you don't want to meet him for a glass of wine, don't meet him for a glass of wine. If you do, then go meet him for that glass of wine. Or suggest something else entirely. Or tell him you're not interested if you're not interested.

Always on the 14th... So, you'll be at Finnigan's again on the 14th? Balancing the books? Interesting.

Your company certainly picked up this man's mood and week, and hearing that you enjoyed it only adds to that.

Now I know where you'll be on the 14th, but I also know that you'll have other things to do that evening. So would you like to meet for a glass of wine, maybe, before that? No books to balance.

	Re: Warded to Cho/Fin charmingcho 2014-11-15 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	Before that as in on the 14th before I start working on those books, or before the 14th? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Warded to Cho/Fin _finbar_ 2014-11-15 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Before the 14th, although I wouldn't turn down having a glass of wine too before you start working on those books on the 14th. Or after. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Warded to Cho/Fin charmingcho 2014-11-15 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	In that case, when did you have in mind? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Warded to Cho/Fin _finbar_ 2014-11-16 01:45 pm UTC (link)
	See now, that's the hard part about this, because the last time I tried to pick a date, you had work, although that did end up with a nice lunch with you. So which evenings do you have open in the next week or so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it's with Fin then I definitely think you'll have to ask him out. Plus he'll love that you made the first move. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Warded Cho/Roger charmingcho 2014-11-17 04:51 am UTC (link)
	Is asking someone out on a date a move? Oh goodness, Roger, I think this is all a bit (ok, really, really) beyond me. (Reply to this) (Parent)
