We caught up for a bit and that evening I messaged him wishing him luck in his forthcoming exams. We've been messaging quite bait since and I've come to like him a lot. My question is how do I move this relationship on into the 'offline' world? I don't know how to suggest a meet up? Plus how do I keep up the communication until after our exams are finished without it going stale? Reply to this Question

It's the first time anyone asked how to move it from "online" to make it reality.When you first ran into him, you chatted about old times and told stories about what happened to you since. Now you need to kick it up a notch and discuss where you're going. You also need to listen and let him tell you something about himself; and not worry about the conversation going stale.One of the things that kills a date; is either talking too much, or not listening enough. Talk about your interests and hobbies. The music you like. Bring along your iPod or MP3 and share some tunes. If you keep the date short, you'll have an excuse to end it early, or run over-time.You'll still have time for studies and sleep. I always setup for an early movie. Then stop for coffee or ice cream. You talk and get a chance to get used to being in each others company. It doesn't cost a lot on a student's budget; and you get cozy and plan for the next date, after exams. You can even study together, playing some good tunes and chatting in little in-between breaks.It's a good idea to leave a small gap in communication after a date. A tiny text to say hello and nothing else.That gives you recovery time and he gets to think about you in the meantime. You get to come up with fresh ideas for conversation. Do you know a place with a live local band?Good luck!
