Met an amazing girl, did something very stupid, how can I undo or fix things at this point...?
It started with a night out at the bars/club.. I was with a group of my friends, she was with a group of hers. Our groups met just before last call etc.. We all ended up hanging out and socializing for about an hour after the place closed.. Just walking down the street, horsing around / flirting etc.. Some of my friends were being too drunk and were hitting on her in a very belligerent way.. She rousted them, destroyed their "game" plane before it even got off the ground.. Anyway with them acting the way they did, she shot both of them down hard.. I thought it best to not just look like another a$$hole and ask her for her number and get shot down too... I am a few months out of a 6.5 year committed relationship, and my game is rusty.. I mean RUSTY! They left, we left.. that was the night.
So, not asking for her number.. Thats where the problem started..
Anyway, a few days later.. This is where I made a mess of things..
I am cursed with a very, very good memory and attention to detail... even when totally inebriated where others can't even remember anything..
I typed a few things she revealed that night into Facebook, and BAM! Her profile came right up... We're from the same county, but we have ZERO mutual friends... I thought to myself, wow.. there she is. No mutual friends, I will probably never see her again, as I had never seen her before that night.. Effit, I am going to add her. I was feeling bold!
A couple hours later, she confirms me as a friend!
I thought woah! she remembered me, and she's cool with it, yay!
Well, with my game being so very rusty, and my mind being so gitty with the idea that she might be interested.. I sent her a message later that same day she accepted my friend request..
eerrrgghh.. bad idea... My game is REALLY rusty.. I probably look like that creepy stalker guy now, right? Sh*t!
Anyway, she never responded to that message... It had a question in it, so it warranted a response.. but yeah.. I know, I know.. It was too forward, and it was lame. I will say that it was honest and innocent.. I just really feel like she won't interpret it that way and I came off as creepy stalker dude. She is also a single mom with a 6year old son she needs to protect etc.
I saw her again, the following Friday at the same bar, some friends dragged me out..
I said hi, it was on the dance floor, we talked briefly, she held my hand? it was loud, so we couldn't really "talk", but I made a motion like lets go dance, but I guess her and her friends cab was pulling up outside and then within a minute or two, she was again gone...
How can I fix this going forward, I have started things off into what feels like a potentially irrecoverable nose-dive.. But no, there has to be a way to diffuse this and get the sailboat back up without totally capsizing. She hasn't deleted me on Facebook, but she also hasn't answered that first message from about 6 days ago at this point..
Should I:
#1 - Just ignore her on Facebook. No contact at all. Hope to run into her again, and by some miracle it will be a proper time/place to talk, dance or get things moving in a better direction?
#2 - Delete her on FB and don't say anything.. Hope to run into her again and talk to her if I do?
#3 - Come clean and delete her on FB. Send as brief a message as possible and tell her I am a couple months out of a 6.5 year relationship, my game is as rusty as sh*t. I am a good guy, not a creepster, and I am deleting her not because I don't think she is cool, but I feel like I messed up.. and I am deleting her so she doesn't think I am some creepy stalker.. If she wants to add me back, fine. Otherwise, hopefully we will once again cross paths, can hit the reset button and try to get things started off right the next time..?
#4 - Come clean as stated above, but dont delete her?
#5 - Ignore her, but add her friend who I also met that night with her.. So as to make it seem like, the focus isn't all on her?
#6 - Is there another, better option?
I am not going to FB poke her, or start posting on her wall or anything totally stoops like that.. So, please save those suggestions..
I made a bad move, never messed up so bad before.. So I am very unsure what the next move towards recovering the situation might be. Advise from females is highly desired, please. :)
In case it helps to know..
A brief glimpse of what "kind" of guy I am..
I am social and like to go out / hang out etc.. Staying in sometimes is a part of life too.. I have a large friend circle.. I am a gentleman by nature, it takes effort if I need to be jerk.. I am athletic, tall and am active, play some (non-team) sports/recreation and workout etc. I work in the music/film/entertainment industry. I drive a nice car and am fairly successful in my career etc..

A combination of things. Send her a private message on Facebook (not a public post!). Say: When I first met you, I thought you were amazing. But, being with my messed-up friends that night, I tried to get your phone number at the wrong time. I totally understand why you wouldn't give it to me. But, ever since then, I can't seem to get you out of my mind as you were one of those rare women who has some dignity and class. I'm sorry if I've come off like some *** here - I just ended a long-term relationship and I'm a bit rusty. So, I'm just here to say that I'd like to get to know you better. So, if you're ever interested, let's get together for a glass of wine somewhere and perhaps we can get off on a better foot. If I don't hear from you, that's cool. Just wanted you to know. (Give her your phone number).
Then, don't delete her, don't do anything, even if you never hear from her. What do you have to lose by expressing your feelings one, last time? Nothing! You have everything to gain. But, you have everything to lose by not expressing them. You sound like a nice person ... if she doesn't respond, that sort of attention to another "amazing" girl (they're out there!) will surely land you in a good romantic situation.

your situation makes me want to smile and your suggested answers make me wanna laugh esp de last one abt not pokin her.
# 4 is what i was gonna suggest. I'm pretty sure, she'll be cool with it and you. If you put it all in this way to xplain to her, i'm sure there'll be a secret smile.... Un less she wants to be very protective becos of her son, she'll be a lil difficult but will be better after awhile.....
Her holdin ur hands is a plus so go ahead and keep things moving and don't let what happened on your first meeting hunt you...plsss lemme noe what happens @ de end of your story plsss...u can get me on fb using ma email (angil_gemini@yahoo.co.uk) bestest best luck

Facebook sucks. Be old fashioned and talk to her. The internet makes it so informal. Talk to her in person. Let her know you, and not the keyboard you. I would say delete her on FB. Show her that you are willing to put in time. Anyone is brave behind a computer, be brave in person.

Brush it under then rug.. The be nice to her say the past is gone and you will never do stuff like that again. You are sincerely sorry and prove your actions to her.. Maybe send some flowers if you are really wanting her back. She'll get the hint.

i don't think you messed up that bad.... But you need to man up and just ask her to hang out outside of the bar. Ask her to dinner or something.
