I met a person at a class. She recently moved to my city after her divorce. She drives me home after class. I asked her if she wanted to go to the museum with me (strictly platonic, I like going to museums and art exhibits and my roommates were not interested). She replied by saying that she felt it wasn't a good idea (she thought I asked her out). I feel bad, should I tell her that I wasn't asking her out?
@hellodarkness123,
But you did ask her out. However you weren't trying to romance her. If you and she get a chance to talk, you could inform her. no harm done.
@hellodarkness123,
If you want a faithful companion that will not misunderstand you and will always listen to you, and be there for you, even if you do not want to make wild passionate love to her, I recommend a golden retriever.
@TimeTravel ,
well if you really want to ask her out. you should tell her it directly. but if you don't have such intentions let her know that too.
@hellodarkness123,
nice, thanks for u sharing it!
@hellodarkness123,
Why should you feel bad for asking her out?
It's her loss.
Move on and don't give it another thought
Better you should have said: A group of us are going to the museum Sat. Would you like to join us?
@hellodarkness123,
This is such a rookie mistake. You should know by now that when you ask another adult to spend one on one time together that is separate from work or school they WILL think its a date. Are you sure you dont like her and its not just that you are a bit upset about rejection?
I agree with Ragman and Panzade. I suppose I should make up my mind on which!
I disagree with Forbidden Garden. Plenty of men and women are just friends and share some interests.
@hellodarkness123,
You shouldn't care. If it makes you more comfortable tell her you didn't ask her out. Otherwise, you shouldn't care.
