What day of the week to ask somebody out?
There's sort of an unwritten rule that you don't ask someone out after, say, midday Thursday, because it implies that this person is coming in as second banana after your "real" plans have fallen through. There are some people that don't even answer their home phones on Friday and Saturday because they're not interested in being a "Plan B friend." Of course, when you're young, the casual thing is par for the course.
So with that out of the way, I had a question: There's this girl at work that I dig and I thought I'd ask her out for a cup of coffee--something casual since we've never gone out anywhere. I'm getting receptive signals, so I thought I'd give it a go. The thing is, I went by her desk late this afternoon to ask her, but apparently she'd already gone home for the day.
Now, since it's a casual thing, would it seem sketchy of me to ask her on a Friday if she wants to hang out on Saturday or Sunday? Maybe I'm being to cautious, I don't know. I suppose I could wait another week to hang out with her, but there's that window of interest that fades if you don't catch it. It could give me the opportunity to develop things, but I also don't want to overwater the plants, so to speak. Any suggestions?
