I ran into a girl I used to know in college. We always got along well, but never really hit it off, for various reasons. I see her where I work from time to time, and have been wondering about asking her if she wants to get together sometime, to catch up.

My oracle for asking her on a date was Hexagram 35, lines 2 and 5 changing to Hexagram 6.
Seems generally auspicious, though line 2 talks of 'sorrow', and the resulting Hexagram 6 doesn't sound so peachy.

When I asked for an oracle against dating her, I received Hexagram 32, line 4 changing to Hexagram 46.
Interesting; seems apt.

What's your take? Thanks for reading,

Wow, great reading. I'd say "go for it". In hex 35 second line, "sorrow" can also be translated as "worriedness" (Ritsema and Karcher). Well that's appropriate, isn't it? Progress (florishing), hence worriedness. Progressing makes you feel worried.
Accept the blessing of an unpermeatable armor. Go to your royal mother. I usually take this one literally and ask for mental support of the women in the maternal line of my family. Usually my grandmother, who I still believe to be by my side when I need her (although she has passed).

Line 5: no more regrets. No more worries about letting go or getting (her). Nothing that isn't benificial! What are you waiting for? ;-)

Of course there will be a battle. Where your heart is at stake, and you have fears and worries, you will fight. She'll have the same thing. When you get close to someone you sincerely care about, this envokes your oldest patterns of attachment. You have the benefit to know beforehand the battle will come. So you can prepare on staying in the middle, the taoist way. And of course, when time has come of battle, consult Yi and the forum again.

Love! And keep us posted please!

Yi is saying to press forward without regard to loss or gain; and I guess that means without regard for results. I am wondering if the hex 6 as the relating hexagram means you will have an argument with her . . .

I see 35.2.5 - 6 as a caution to be very clear with yourself and in your invitation to her as your motivation for suggesting a meet-up.
35.2 mirrors to me your uncertainties.
35.5 encourages success
but them leading to possible 6. Conflict unless "rights and duties [expectations] are made clear at the beginning.
So perhaps you will be successful in getting a date with her but be clear why you are doing it. If it is just for a friends catching up you probably will be successful but if you are intending this as a cover up for something else then there may be conflict. I suggest you play it just as friends catching up through the whole date. Then if you wake up the next day thinking about her THEN call for a date date.

I guess I never did give an update for this situation.
I invited her to have a drink one night fairly soon after this reading. She thanked me for inviting her but had a prior commitment, and said maybe some other time. I thought about it, but didn't contact her again, as the interest and desire soon waned, and she never contacted me again. I felt entirely okay with this. Perhaps an opportunity missed, but it also did not feel like a very strong connection to begin with, more a curiosity.

Hi 👋🏻

Any idea what the fine armour was? Any female in your family to do with this? An old woman generally?
