A Geech With Kelly Williams Brown
-
Kelly:
I think it’s also important, when you ask someone out
-
to be really fucking clear about your intentions.
-
Me:
YES
-
Kelly:
Like, the whole reason you are finding this bravery within yourself is because you can’t bear to not know.
-
Me:
“Hey, maybe we could get together to talk about a project” is not a date
-
Kelly:
So don’t water that down by writing something that could be interpreted as just friendly.
-
“Hey, my roommates and I are having a party on Saturday” — also not a date.
-
me:
“Hey, awesome seeing you Saturday. Any interest in getting a drink sometime?” Date!
-
Kelly:
Date!
-
Me:
“Hey, awesome seeing you Saturday. I might be in the neighborhood this weekend, let me know if you’re around.” Nooooot a date.
-
Kelly:
Not a date.
-
Asking someone out on a date should contain a call to action. The more specific, the better.
-
“Hey, it was great seeing you Saturday. Want to grab a drink after work this Friday?”
-
Me:
Genius. Totally a date.
