Tl;dr: I asked a girl out :)

I met a girl in a flight and thought we got along well, but she was only in a layover flight while I was in the last flight of my trip. Still, we kept in touch, and she's apparently coming to my city for a few days in two weeks.

So I did something I had never done before (even though I've been in a few relationships before) and asked her out! She said "maybe" (her trip was already planned and she is busy and staying with some friends, she seemed genuinely sorry) so in two weeks I may have a date :)

Hot damn good for you!

Keep us updated! I don't think lemmy has a remindme bot but I'm saving this comment.

Beep boop. I'm writing this comment because you asked to be updated on my date.

She canceled it :(. She was only here for a few days and ended up not being available to meet with me. It's ok, I think I read more into it than I should have!

Michael Scott once quoted some guy that said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

You shot your shot. That's the important thing.

Good for you!

Well there's gotta be a reason she's keeping in touch after meeting you once on a flight. I don't still talk to someone I met on a plane, so you must've made an impression. I hope it pans out for you (and her).

I tip my hat to you!
