So here is the deal...
My friend introduces me to someone she worked with like 5-6 years ago, she is pretty nice and cute.
A great smile and jovial to say the least, she seems very outgoing.
So my friend slips her my number while we are somewhere and tells her that I am interested...no big deal...the girl was busy today so i didnt get to see her, but now my friend is telling me I should call her tomorrow and ask her out...
So my friend is female, so maybe she has clue how a woman would react? But for me I feel like it is pushy to call her and ask her out when she and I know so little of each other and my friend has not seen her for a few years...
Thoughts?
UPDATE 1: 6/24/2004
I called her, but she wasn't in so I left a message saying who I was, that we had already met once, that if she wasnt busy maybe we could go out (tonight) for dinner and a drink. She has my number already, so if she wants to call then she knows what to do..
One of the people I am going out with knows her form doing some work togethor, so i thought that might make her feel more comfortable.
Update 2: 6/25/2004
Her mother had knee surgery on Wednesday, so she is probably busy, has not called back yet, and i can say i dont expect her to if she is busy. I did mention her mother and said that i hope she is doing well..never hurts to be thoughtful!

And no call people! I am going to assume I am not getting one, thanks for playing

No call as of Tuesday morning, but the girl who started this whole thing says i should call again, "what have I got to lose" is her thinking, she is probably right.
Update 4: 7-1-2004
I figured on the advice of some here that I would call last night, and if I got the machine, I would not leave a message, but yet rather try and talk to her directly if at all. If i got no answer by Thursday then call it a loss and move on to the next time.
So I called last night and she was home and the first thing she said was "I really needed to call you, I have been so busy with my Mom;s surgery and work that i have not called anyone" she works from 7am to 7pm so apparently she was a bit busy between that and taking care of her mother.
We talked for a bit, it seemed to go well and so I figured I would drop the question and see if she was open to going out, she said yes, drinks or dinner, and she began to figure out what day this week worked. She apparently works Wednesday. Thursday and Friday of this week, so those days are out..plus she is still helping her parents so i told her that that stuff was more important right now and that maybe next week would be better.
She said that woudl be better, but she didnt want me to think she was blowing me off because she was busy. I of course said I completely understand and we agreed to talk on Sunday afternoon to get a definitive time/date/place setup.
So we shall see how it goes!
i got a nother tip, try and take her somewhere that requires a 15 minute drive, that way we have time to talk and get over the akward time BEFORE we get to dinner/drinks. Thoughts?

Happy July Fourth! No call yet on when and where we are going to go out...still early though!
Update 4: 7-04-2004 11:59PM
Well, I did not get a call yet and so i am letting this one go to the wayside. If she calls me back on her own then so be it, but if not then chalk it up to a learning experience. She might be busy, she might not be..a phone call is only a few minutes...so it shouldnt be that hard to do right?

Well, she called tonight while I was out eating dinner with some friends, she said she was sorry for not calling, that she forgot it was the fourth of july, she had made plans and got back late with her girlfrienbds. She had to work today from 7am to 7pm. She told me she didnt want to interrupt me while I was out, but that if i got home before 9:00 or 9:30pm that she wanted me to call her.
Talked to her then and we were joking around and making some small talk, but my friends were waiting to leave so I had to bail, she said no rpboelm, and told me that she was promising to call me tomorrow night so we could go out or if I was busy maybe Wednesday....guess I was wrong about this whole damn thing after all...
Chalk it up to inexperience.
