so now, considering a full on ‘date’ with drinks and stuff will go about 100.00, is it worth the 300 bucks now (not to mention a hellacious drive) or should we ice this one for a bit?
Are these holidays we’re talking about thanksgiving by any chance? Or are we to understand you would have to wait over two months until christmas, new years, etc? If it’s the former, waiting 4 weeks might increase the anticipation a bit. If it’s the latter, you run a greater risk (and that’s all it is, risk, it’s not certain) that she starts to lose interest/gets another boy-toy/whatever.
No advice, that’s just an observation
This is exactly what I was going to post. To add, if you’re not sure it’s a sure thing, you could risk looking too eager by making that trip at the drop of a hat. Hell, even if it is a sure thing, the prospect of a 700 mile booty call (which it boils down to) could weird her out. You basically are strangers, and one night might not be enough time to seal the deal. Combine that with the fact she knows that you’ll be home a few weeks after that date, and your chances drop that she’ll put out right away.
Ninja move: Make her decide when you see her. I’m sure your holiday leave will be busy (time with the family + a night catching up with this friend, a night with that friend, etc.), so put it out there that you are busy but def have time for her coupled with the idea that you could make it home for a weekend sometime sooner. So, you’re not making it about the money - it’s your limited leave time that you are worried about. If she invites you before the holidays, she’s already made a decision to bang you that weekend. It would be rude not to.
Final point of analysis: Have you been talking to her more than you’ve posted? If not, you’ve already “made a date” over the holidays. Nobody likes a change of plans, especially when the motives behind the change aren’t clear (which they never are during dating/hooking up/whatever this is). And from what I remember, she hasn’t necessarily said she was planning to do more than a lunch or a HH for a couple of hours.
