Latest number I got just went like this:
Prof: hey it's [Professor When]. how are you
Her: Hi, Just tying up odds and ends before school starts. Hope you had a good hike.
Prof: it was nice. lets get a drink this week. i'm free thurs or fri
Her: Please know I'm not ready for a relationship at all because I'm trying to make friends first. But I'd love to sit down and talk. Thursday or Friday.
I'm kind of getting tired of the endless cycle of LJBF and me having to ghost her. I'd like to try something different.
Do I just give her a place and time and escalate until she tells me to stop?
If so, how do I respond? I was thinking either joke it off: "It's drinks, not a proposal." Or give her an ultimatum "I don't make friends with women I find desirable."
