I'll try to keep this short. A hot friend has asked if I want to do something fun this weekend via facebook. Since I'm a total idiot and always screw this stuff up, I need some advice on how to respond. Here's some background info. I have known her for years (not very close) but last summer she showed definite interest. Being the moron I am, I let some other guy move in and they dated until about a month ago. Recently, we have done stuff together, but always with a group of people, usually a particular couple (her best friend). Anyway, that couple is out of town this weekend, and obviously we both know that. So either she wants to spend time with me alone, or she just doesn't have much going on in her life w/o her best friend. I'm assuming it's probably the latter. She's a pretty cool chick that I wouldn't mind dating a bit, but I don't really want to get caught in the friend zone like I have so many other times. So, how do I respond to her request to hang this weekend to determine what she's after (friend or more)? Or am I already in the friend zone? Any thoughts?
