We've been friends for about a year now, but only got to hanging out outside of work for the recent couple of months. We met for lunch last week, while my social anxiety was at its all time high, I genuinely enjoyed meeting with her. She's a really kind and patient listener, and I told myself that she deserves 'all the airtime' the next time we meet. 

We have a small group gathering next week, then she's off to Chicago for a month.

I considered asking her if she would be keen to meet this weekend for brunch. But I'm not sure, the anxiety's just telling me, "it's too much, it's too soon, she's going to find you exhausting. You're already meeting next week." Is it too much? I don't know.
