and if that doesn't work out then i'll move on

Oh come on thats ridiculous. Does she think you are some chump who will wait around for a month? She's wrong. You are the prize

She can't find one afternoon/evening? She definitely can

^^

^^^

she also lives a half hour drive away from me

Is she shy? Nervous about a date?

and is 18, and doesn't have her own car

Ok so she is young and definitely immature when it comes to dating

yes

she is young

but we talked about guns

and how great the liberal salt after trump's election was

and she's gorgeous

How old are yu?

22

23 in july

Same lol

Finals are coming up arent they? I would give her the space, keep texting and doing the church stuff. And once the semester ends, hit her with a, "so where are you taking me on our date now that schools out". joking/playfuly of course. Put the ball in her court.

i was planning on once the semester ends just going up to her at church or texting her and saying "so how about that coffee?"

Ok. She could be a little intimidated by an older guy. Probably not used to getting attention from a guy your age. If she is really into you, I bet you could convince her to hang out with you within 2 weeks

normally i would think pursuing a girl a few years younger than me would be weird but since she initiated by asking her mom about me/inviting me to sit with her at church, i think it's more ok

Nah dude girls love older guys, naturally attracted to them

yep

Just be careful you don't get friendzoned. Texting too much can do that

yeah i've been avoiding texting her

if she initiates i respond

and if she initiates several times in a row i might text her

but i dont' like texting in general

you prevent being friendzoned by "keeping it man to woman". i would text her when you have something to say

if you do not text her much she may perceive that as disinterest

i would sit next to her at church every week

"you prevent being friendzoned by "keeping it man to woman". i would text her when you have something to say" great way to put it @Zyzz .

It's about making your intentions clear

^

if i get to church after her and she is alone i will sit next to her

text her before church and ask her if she'd like to sit next to you

good idea

this is how you make your intentions clear

and then i will talk to her after church, regardless

Definitely ask her to hang out again though man-that seems like its what you want to do

@Gaius Mucius Scaevola you could also ask her if you could take her to coffee after church or walk her home
