First off: I am a noob, so please bear (how do you spell this?) with me.

SO I have been talking to a girl who I have become quite interested in over OKC for a couple weeks now, about 4 conversations back and forth. We share interests, are both Persian, and live close.. exc...

It appears to me that she is interested, in her last reply to me, yesterday, after not being on for a week, she asked me how my week was and apologized for not being able to get on. She's asking many questions, and from what I have read here, that is definitely indicating interest right?

So I have decided that I need to make the move now, instead of continuing just chatting it up, which honestly has been an enjoyment in and of itself.

I want to tell her that we should meet up this coming Friday at a really chill, casual puerto rican place that has great sandwiches, for lunch. I feel the flaw with this might be that when we finish eating, that could not really be more than an hour, there would be nothing else to do and our meeting would come to a quick conclusion.

So I'm thinking maybe tell her we should get drinks, except that would most likely require going to the city (we are both around 30 min away). There are bars around here, but not much nightlife.

I know I am kind of overthinking things, but that is my nature. On top of what to do, what is a classy way of transitioning the conversations w have been having to "hey girl I've really enjoyed these messaged on the internet but it is definitely time to meet in person".

Also she has on the site to just meet new friends, but is single. I have read Seddit many times, but I still am very poor at expressing intention with a woman. I can have conversations just fine, I can do slight negs, I can easily make jokes and make girls laugh, I do slight kino ( mostly just putting hand on shoulder when we are both laughing or something like that), but I really cannot tell if I am ever really showing intent, or that a girl knows that I am being friendly as opposed to showing I want her. I don't want to get friendzoned by this girl, and need help in preventing that.

Oh btw she's 23 and I'm just recently 21.

EDIT: What is the rule on spending money on a girl on the first date? I know not to do it if you just met them in a bar, but this is an arranged meeting. Also she has a job and I don't.. Should I let her know that? Fuck.. I need a job lol. We are both in school though btw, she's theatre arts, I'm psych. Couldn't be more polar opposite but we seem to think exactly the same.

Thanks in advance Seddit.
