A Girl and My Idiot Friends

I took her for lunch and now my friends are calling her my girlfriend after the one date. What do I do?

    

Hi Rob,
There is this girl that have been on my mind all the time recently.

We are both sophomores in college, I've known her for both years but never really talked to her until last week. So recently I challenged her to a Words With Friends game on Facebook, and we made a bet that loser buys the other' lunch. I ended up losing, and I sort of went on a lunch date with her, just the 2 of us. I believe it was pretty successful, I did not feel awkward, and I assume she felt the same. We ended on good terms.

However, 2 days later, it seemed that she is avoiding contact with me. When we'd make eye contact, she'd look away, and no longer seem to show as much interest to me as before...

I'm suspecting it's because of my friends always shouting that I'm dating her or stuff like that when we're around each other. I personally couldn't care less that they do that even in front of her, but I'm suspecting she overheard, understood, and now is ignoring me. This is just an assumption, i do not know this is why 100%.

So in conclusion, should I continue try talking to her? Or just pretend she doesn't exist till she initiate contact with me again?

Thank you so much. Jesse

Dear Jesse,
Yes, your idiot friends are making her uncomfortable. Tell them to shut their mouths before they screw up a good thing for you. If you heard it I can guarantee you she heard the ruckus about “dating her”. You should have stepped up right there and approached her and if needed, apologized to her and made plans to get together again. Too bad you didn't.

After you’ve shut your friends up ask her for a dinner date to “make up for your ignorant friends” and start again to meet with her again, sooner rather than later.

You should try to transition quickly from “friends going out” to dating her and this is what you do:
After the dinner date and you’re taking her to where she lives ask her for an “official date” because you do want to date her.

The “official date” should be a Friday or Saturday night, no movies, find something fun to do, just the two of you, far away from those juveniles you hang out with.

Good luck!
I hope this helps, you’ve done well so far.
Best wishes,
Rob
