On Wednesday I met a girl at a bar, we had a great time, and before she left I got her number. I didn't want to call her the next day, and was planning on inviting her to drinks on Friday. Well, Thursday night led to some poor decisions, and long story short, I ended up with a pretty bad black eye, and don't think I'll be out socializing for awhile.

Question is: How do I remain relevant to the girl I met, or is it a lost cause? Should I be honest and tell her I want to hang out in the future, but I have a black eye? Or do I pretend like it never happened and just wait it out until I'm capable of going out again? I feel like the longer I wait to ask her out, the harder it's going to become to get her to come out. Thoughts?
