Dreamgirl

Hi everyone longtime poster here,

I am about to meet a very old friend for a night out, we were friends & then dated years back for a short period before I was dumped! I have been working in the states these past few years and during this time we did not keep in touch but recently we have.

This IS my dreamgirl (I'm hoping none throws the plenty more fish in the sea speech to me I know it too well). I've been all over the world travelling, I have had 3 serious relationships since but I always knew they were nothing compared to what I could have had with this particular girl.

Anyway we are to meet up for a night and I was wondering if anyone can give me ideas on where to go and any other general advice? I just want to make sure its the two of us, a nice atmosphere but too busy

I do not think she feels the same way but I do think she may be a little more interested in me than just wanting to "catch up". This night is so so important to me hence the reason for posting looking for advice and ideas.

By the way we are both from Dublin, 27 years old & telling her exactly how I feel is out of the question I know for a fact this would be too much for her to hear right now

Is there any particular reason or indications that this girl might want to be more than friends? Or are you basing that on your own hopes and longing for her? To be honest, I wouldn't go building my hopes up if I were you. You said yourself you won't tell her anything because you don't think she could deal with hearing it right now.

Just play it casual. Don't go looking for the ideal romantic location to possibly build on something. Best thing you can do is take her somewhere relaxing and fun and get to know her all over again. You haven't hung out in a long time. You dated years ago. Chances are she's just looking to meet up and have a laugh. Nothing more.

All i'd say is just play it cool and don't let on that you are interested.
If she wants you, you'll know.

This will sound weird but try and read some of her body language...if the pupils of her eyes are pretty big when she is looking at you, it usually means someone is attracted to you. It's the easiest way of telling if someone is into you without making it obvious that you are looking for signs of their body language.

Hope it all goes well Op.

Thanks very much so do I !

I am meeting up for the laugh (trust me I am) but I cant help but wonder why she is so willing to meet up after all this time
