I need some advice as a newbie here, 49yo as I'm still new to this game. I've been placed in the friend zone too often. Met a 49yo woman from another state about 4 hours away from me on OLD. She came down to see me, since her parents live down here. We only met for an hour and half that day, since I had to go back to work. Been texting and speaking over phone for past two weeks. Video called twice. She told her mom about me and said I looked attractive, which is a first for me. She is "ok" for 49, but still only about 5 or 6/10. She takes care of her looks for what is left for that age.
The issue is she has some drama going on. She is in the stages of going through a divorce. She moved from another state to where she is now to get away from her husband. On one call, she mentioned how unhappy she was in her marriage. She referred to him in one phone call several times to me, as her "soon to be ex". She does most of the talking in the calls and I have trouble getting in any words, as she likes to talk over me some times.
I haven't been initiating much at all, since one night she told me she was too busy and too tired to talk. So I went NC on her and then after three days, she reached out to me, and we started chatting again.
In her OLD profile, she mentions she is looking for someone that would like to move to where she lives. In no way in hell, am I looking to move at all from my state, but wouldn't mind a weekend FWB if it comes down to that. She lives in a small rural town and says there are not many people on OLD there and said the guys that she sees online are ugly. This morning, she sends me a text, about inviting me up to see her on a weekend. I told her my work keeps me busy but I'd think about it.
I thought to myself, I wouldn't mind just going on a road trip up there to get the hell out of town due to covid. So after awhile, I asked her if she knew of any good lodging up there. She then offered her guestroom, and then started sending me photos of it, her bedroom, and outside her house. I find this strange since she had only met me in person for one hour. She seems to have her life together, and has a rewarding job. But something makes me pause. She then sends a photo of a lake and park nearby, and asked if I would want to take a walk with her, if I come up there.
Sounds like she is on a rebound and wants someone to keep her company or give her validation. Any thoughts?
