So a couple of weeks back I bumped into a former crush on a night out, but now I am crushing on her again like a silly child! Anyway she has invited me over to visit her since then and I want to take her up on that invite in the coming weeks, how do I message her about this without sounding like I really want to visit, any smart way around this? Plus we have hooked a couple of times before and have great chemistry even tough we don't talk very often, when we do its always drawn out messages and blah blah. I want to make a great impression on this visit and get a date and more! Help is much appreciated.

What is your intention here? To lay her? To kiss her? To make her your girlfriend?

Whatever it is, go in casual. Begin texting her with simple texts and back and forth flirting and push/pull. See how she reacts. If she reacts well, after a few texts mention her place, and that you should do something at her place (because you can't at yours). Is there any specific reason why you can't just take her to yours? If there is, then make sure you have a reason to go to hers. I'd say ignore her invite altogether, and just treat it like you would set up any other date. "Let's watch bla bla, I'll supply the DVD and popcorn, you supply the cinema."

The problem here though really is that you are becoming narrow sighted by crushing on her. Before you meet her, go out and talk to other girls and hopefully you will find one with whom you have a good connection with, and you will realize that this girl isn't really all THAT special.

Also, stop worrying about making a good impression. Go in with no expectations. Be yourself, have fun! And be unapologetic about your escalation. If you are congruent with being forward and also unapologetic about it, then there will be most likely no problem. In the end she is either interested or she isn't (and her inviting you over is an IOI, so go in with the mentality that she wants you).
