Lunch date
Options
Had a lunch date today with a woman who I used to work with. I've always had a thing for her but she never seem to pay much attention to me. I have not seen her in a year and a half and now live in Albuquerque. She's in Fl. Anyway I called and left her a message the other day and told her I was in town for a few days and would like to see her. She text me back and was pleasantly surprised to hear from me.
We met up today for brunch and we sat and talked for about 2 hours. It was fantastic. I want to send her a follow up text but am kind of lost as to what to say.. I've gotten as far as to say " Hey it was really great seeing you today i'm glad that we were able to reconnect..."
I don't knowwhat else to say.. My friend to me to tell her she made my day but I don't want to seem sappy or like a puppy dog...
My goal is to hopefully keep in touch with her and maybe set the groundwork for when I move back in a year and a half.

I don't play games and told her that I hope we can stay in touch and hugged/kissed her on the cheek as we said goodbye. During our brunch conversation she told me that the people she wanted to say on touch with had her number..which obviously includes me.2 -

Whether she had a good time or not, she's going to say she did, so I wouldn't do a follow-up text with a question.
I think keep it short and say something like "hey, nice to reconnect, I had a great time" and leave it at that. That way, if she doesn't text you back, you didn't really put yourself out there too much and if she does...then you can text her back whatever you want.1 -

Exactly! That's the problem with the world today and dating lol but I've never known how or wanted to play games. I say what I feel and don't try to act a certain way. Maybe I'm naive.

Why text anything at all? You won't see her for 18 months. She's gonna live her life and all your groundwork won't mean kitty.
If she's in love with you, let her squirm. Imagine when you come back to town 1.5 years later SHREDDED and you play it real cool like, "Oh hay how've u been?" Bruh. That's how you do it bruh. IMHO.
Much better than having your emojis blow up in your face 2 summers from now because she went and got a man. I'd rather not love at all and keep my pride, thank you. And there's still the chance love might be there anyway.
And what ever happened to telling your date you had an enjoyable time RIGHT AFTER you finished the date? To their face? Looking them dead in the eyes? I think hookers probably have more tact than today's youth-- sheesh.
"Hey just wanted to tell you I had a great time today"
Yeah, no kitten... we frickin laughed for 2 hours at Chipotle. I sorta picked up on that. Got anything else?
