Right, so here goes. For those who've followed my posts, you know that I'm a 26 year old male and I've never been in a relationship. There was one lady I had a crush on in my life but we didn't end up going out.
Anyways, there's another lady. She turned 23 earlier this month. She used to work at my mom's restaurant but got fired after a month but that's how I got to know her. The night before her birthday, her, me, and a few other people from the workplace hung out at a club (this was when she was still working). I did drink that night but at the same time, I also felt myself feeling an attraction for her the rest of that night and the next day as well. Of course with alcohol in my system, I figured that it was the alcohol causing me to feel this way. I haven't seen her in over three weeks so I thought it must have been the alcohol that caused it.
Last night, I was hanging out with people from the workplace again. We went to a club but it was a different one. I didn't drink at all that night. It was coincidence that we saw her at that same club we were in. By this time, the lady had been fired for about a week or two, I think. She was with a few of her friends that night and I talked to all of them a little bit. As I was talking to her, I realized that the alcohol wasn't what made me feel this way about her. I was feeling attracted to her. She doesn't know this yet of course but I did tell one of the people I was with that I liked her. At the end of the night we exchanged phone numbers before she left the club. As we were talking that night, she told me that she got hired at another place and told me where it was located.
I must admit that it was strange for me to develop strong feelings like this for someone this early on. I've seen a lot of attractive women who are/were employees at my mom's restaurant come and go. But none of them got me to feel like this one lady has. Other than the fact that she was a former employee, there's barely anything else I know about her. What is this best way to go through this situation? Do I try to get to know her before asking her out? Do I ask her out and get to know her as we go? Is there a different way I could go about this? From Dan and Jenn's videos, I know what not to do is go up to her or call her up and say "I really, really like you."
