Alright, so here's the deal. I posted my nervous tension here on my site and what then should've been seen as an ominous sign, my internet goes out. Now being the IT guy-in-training, I tried to fix it myself, cuz it would bug the hell out of me if I didn't have the internet working. I'm not the only person in my house to use it, and others need it as well, not just for personal but for work. So it was imperative of me to fix it. Of course, I wasn't able to fix it last night, and not until I got home from school today did I finally solve the problem. Now for the update.
ready...........so i do call her, just before 9 pm last night, yes, it took me that long after posting to finally call. I call her up, first thing out of her mouth was "sorry to see your Kings lose to my Ducks last night" and that surprisingly enough helped me to relax, cuz now I was in my element of talking sports, specifically hockey. Some more witty banter ensued for the next 10 minutes, when I finally bring up the subject of going out. Now I put it in a way that wouldn't be too formal, instead of saying, would you like to have dinner this week, I said would you like to grab a bite to eat sometime. Stupid, I know, but hey, that's how I work. So I ask what day works for her this week, and she tells me that it doesn't look good this week to go out.
Now ladies, help me out here, how should I take that sorta comment. She had mentioned earlier in our conversation how she's still looking forward to going to see the Kings play the Ducks on the 28th. So should I take it at face value that she geniuinely is busy this week, or was that kinda her way of saying she didn't want to go out??? Damn you women for speaking in codes! I didn't force the issue, I said, alright, maybe we can try again some other time, and her response to that was "ok, sorry about not being able to do something this week". We finished up our conversation 5 minutes later, and my night was done. Yes, we still are going out to the game on the 28th, I just wanted to hang out before then, at this point, should I try to set something up next week? What to do, what to do........Please ladies, any help would be greatly appreciated on this.

I'm sorry that she didn't say yes for this week! When you talked to her on Sunday, she had mentioned that her week was pretty busy though right? Just curious. I would try again for next week. You guys have the date for the hockey game, which is good. At least if you try again for next week, you'll have an idea if she's genuinely interested in going out. I think she still is.
Ask her what day is good? If she hems and haws on it then maybe she's not interested in going out to dinner.
Hey, this is Kim, I am Marie's friend. You came over to my place when I lived in the same building as Marie, and thought that we were a bunch of lushes, if I recall correctly. :) Anyhow, I have been checking out your blog, and it is very nice! I wanted to weigh in on this "busy this week" thing...
I think that she is really busy. I would totally try again. You did call her halfway through the week, so hopefully next week will be better. Don't give up yet!
