I see a potential relationship with her and would like to pursue it. I initially reached out to reconnect as friends but over time I started to like her and feel like there is a mutual interest there. I bring up that I have not made a move yet because everyone I talk to in real life tells me if I dont someone else will. Also, that she will think I am not interested in her romantically.

At the moment I am not sure how to approach asking to see her this weekend. She drives back late Friday night so I was planning on asking her Saturday if she would like to do anything that night or Sunday night. I messaged her on Tuesday asking if she has plans for the weekend and she said probably not because she will be recovering from her trip. We had a brief text exchange but eventually she stopped replying. My only apprehension is I do not want to seem desperate or pushy but I do want to be persistent.

Lastly, if this weekend doesnt work out I am not sure if I should ask her to be my valentines because it might come across too forward since I havent made any moves yet.
