We met in HS, she was a freshman I was a senior type deal. That's not legal in my state. She was very receptive towards me but I forced myself to never pursue her romantically because that would have been stupid.

I was blue pill and had oneitis for this girl and still wanted to see her so we would hangout as "good friends" quite often for the next year and a half. I go off to college, became more aware of redpill material and decide to effectively cut off communication with her, talk to other girls, lift, etc.

Two years later she reaches out and really wants to go out for dinner to catch up. She is of course 18 now. I pick a cool place, we go and she seems very giddy/excited to see me, to the point where it seemed impossible for me to bore her.

I know dinner dates aren't really great for creating attraction/escalating but I figured it was fine to just go in with no expectations and see what's up with her (and it seemed to go well).

I want to take her somewhere with more opportunities to escalate and see what happens.

I don't think I am making a mistake here considering the circumstances but want some input on it.

Thanks
