How do I handle being asked out too much?
Last night, her sister invited me to dinner with her boyfriend. She lives near a good friend of mine, so I figured I would go and have dinner with them, stop by and see my friend and steal some of his Blu-Ray movies.
Anyways, I get to their house and Cherry was there (it was meant as a surprise). After having dinner and while watching a movie, I was invited over this Friday night to see some other friends of ours that I havent seen in almost a year. Cherry will be there again. We already have plans to go out Sat night for some haunted houses, so it seems to be a bit much.
I honestly have no problem seeing her that much. I really do enjoy her company, but I want to take things slow. I want to keep things distant enough so that we miss each other, but see each other enough so that it doesnt feel like its been ages.
How should this be accomplished. Other than my job and my working out, I do have the time to go... and Cherry knows that.
What do you want to do on Friday? Do that, and tell her that"s what you are going to do.
"I think I"m just gonna stay in and relax on Friday" is a perfectly acceptable statement. I usually say something along the lines of "I hope you don"t think I"m blowing you off, I just enjoy time by myself every now and then" the first time I say that. Because girls usually will think you are not interested in them if you"d rather do x,y,z instead of hang out with them, even if its the 4th day in a week or somethin.
Don"t get in the habit of making excuses or lying out of spending too much time with her. And if she keeps asking, just tell her you want to take it slow and don"t think you should see each other that often.
Most of the time being honest is the easiest and most effective way of dealing with any situation. It"s funny, in dealing with people, women especially, our first thought is usually not to say the truth, but to come up with some excuse to avoid any potential bad feelings. Just tell her exactly what you want to do and why. You like her, you"re not telling her anything bad about herself, so she"ll love you for that honesty, even if she"s cautious/worried about it at first.

Got home a little bit ago and decided to call her, she seemed really happy I called. We talked for awhile about various things, I seem to make her laugh a shit ton, so that seems like a good sign.
We talked about what we would like to do this weekend, seems like we"re getting Sushi and a comedy club was mentioned so I need to look into that, never been to one since I"ve moved here.
She asked if I wanted to get together on Saturday instead, which is Halloween. I told her I would have to get back with her on it. Not sure if my being coming off as switching days easily would come off right or not. I mean it"s enough notice where I don"t think it would do any harm...and it would be nice to have a date on Halloween instead of sitting home and handing out candy.
Not sure yet, I have a day to decide either way.
If she wasn"t gorgeous I wouldn"t have thought of this, but I think it"s another power play. She found herself really attracted to you initially, then cancelled on your first date. You didn"t buy it and nearly rejected her, amping up her attraction 10-fold, and on the next chance for a date with you she wants to change days? There is nothing logical about that. She should be dying to get a date with you. Therefore it"s probably a power play. I"d be a hardass with this girl and let her know its your way or no way, for right now. I think it"s what she wants anyway.
