Hi ATRP,

A bit of advice here would go a long way.

Let me start from the beginning;

About a week ago my father and I(I am 20 but we are tight) went to a BBQ - braai where I am from - at a friend of my fathers place to have a good night with a couple of drinks.

They have a daughter, 26, who just flew in from another country and is visiting for a month.

I noticed that she looked my age though and I tried my best to keep it TRP style by mostly not paying much attention to her however I did lock eyes with her briefly. As I usually do, I offered her mother a drink, which she accepted and I did so for her as well. I am somewhat a gentleman even though it is the death of TRP.

The night went quite well and before we went home, I asked her if she wanted to grab a coffee with me tomorrow. She replied with a "I'd like that".

The next morning me and her went for a coffee and it was glorious. We got along very well. Talked about philosophy, college, work, relationships and so on. We both seemed to not be interested in stagnating, relationship wise. We talked for 2 hours over a single coffee.

Eventually I thought about something TRP, namely: "They must know you are driven" and "Inform them that you are not looking for a relationship". I did this by mentioning that my previous relationships didn't work out and so I am not looking for anything like that right now, just playing the field. This was after she mentioned that she is single. She took it very well, saying that right now, that mindset just works. I also spoke about my work, how I started a company at 19, sold a $100 000 contract for my services and how I am only working to travel one day. Which she seconded once again. She wants to travel as well. Big passion for both of us. Meaning that right off the bat, we have a lot in common.

After we left the cafe, we drove around with no other purpose than for her to see where I live a bit more and to talk. This continued for another hour or so until I took her home. Before I left her house, I asked her number and said "I am going to message you when we go on a date, is that cool?", she said that it was perfect and I went home.

After this I kept texting to a minimum as "It is only for logistics". I told her that we should do a dinner date 2 days after we met for coffee. She agreed. I worked late that night though and was unable to make it. She said, and I quote; "You should come for coffee after work then" - please note it was after 8 O'Clock. I couldn't make it either but I rescheduled the date for tonight.

Now, on to the question(s):

Is she into me?

What should I do to get this right?

Did I act shitty or good in TRP's eyes?

Should I pursue?

How should I handle this date tonight?

Sorry for the long post but these questions bother me significantly.
