I sent the E-mail. And I have no idea how to react. good for you. i'd just go on with your life. if she responds great, if she doesn't oh well. the point is to be in the game, regardless whether you win every hand. |

What did you end up writing by the way?

I sent the E-mail. And I have no idea how to react. Awesome!!! Consider this a success! You certainly got over one barrier--your fear of sending the e-mail. That's definitely a step forward no matter what happens!  |

She hasn't responded yet. I'm kind of worried she won't, but I'm also a bit worried she will and I won't like what she says.  |

Okay, she just responded. And it was a positive response!
I nearly jumped the gun, though and responded immedietely. But I thought, maybe I should ask you guys first what I should write.

I'm not being rude here, but maybe you should figure out a response yourself... taking too much advice from other people can be a bad thing, believe me... I learnt that the hard way. |

I'm not being rude here, but maybe you should figure out a response yourself... taking too much advice from other people can be a bad thing, believe me... I learnt that the hard way. it is true that you want to sound authentic. if you just write down what other people tell you, you won't sound like yourself. besides, we don't even know what you said to her or what she said back, so how could we advise you? as long as you keep it casual and fun it should be fine. |

HA!!! Casual, maybe. Fun... I've never heard that being used to describe me.
I'm not saying I'll necessarily use your advice. But, since your help did get me on the right track, I'm hoping that you guys can at least suggest something.
Basically, she responded to what I said on the E-mail, but she didn't really "expand" it, so to speak. She just said "enjoy your summer!" and ended it right there. Doesn't sound too good.

Doesn't sound too good. honestly, if all she said was 'enjoy your summer' in those exact words it doesn't sound like an invitation to converse further. not sure exactly what you said either still, so really have nothing further to offer at this point. |

I wouldn't respond immediatly, might make you seem too desperate. Wait at least a day and then respond. As to what to say, I dont really know. It is a hard task to go from emailing to meeting up, although you have known each other in person first which is good. But, don't let her 'enjoy your summer' comment deter you, I don't think it means anything. Remember, you will never see this girl again unless she agrees to meet up, so you have nothing to lose. Its not like there will be uncomfortable encounters at school if she rejects you or something.

Congrats on sending the email and that is great she responded so quickly.
I agree with waiting day or so and then replying.
This time ask her to do something with you. Plan something like a movie or whatever activity and invite her.
Of course it would be in your own words but it would be something like
Hi Name,
Nice stuff. Chatty stuff,
BTW I'm going to x on Friday at 8pm, would you like to go?
Your phone number.
