Help. Talking to someone on Hinge and we connected over tennis. I asked her if she's going to the AO this year. She says "I'd love to go but haven't booked anything yet" and then asks me if I'm going.

I should invite her right?? I'm just over thinking this aren't I. How do I ask her? Do I suggest it as a potential date? I did initially say we could play tennis for our first date half jokingly..

Yes. No brainer.

How do I ask in a way there's no pressure if she doesn't want to join?

I have limited knowledge of tennis ticketing, but I think there are all day ground passes? You could say something along the lines of "I was thinking of getting a pass, if we went on the same day we could meet up for a drink while we are there". That would give you both limited pressure, the option for both of you to limit or extend the time depending on how things go, and also makes sure you don't get stuck in a position of sounding like you are offering to pay for an expensive tennis ticket for her.

Write a haiku:

Me and you, tennis

Watch the ball get hit around

Then get some dinner.

-unknown 2024

Then if they say no say you don't know who wrote that

You're a legend. Thanks mate, this is awesome 😂

Any question is no pressure, really.

"Would you like to get a ground pass and check it out together sometime this week? Might be nice to meet you under the clocks and wander over there along the river."
