I'm trying to, but it's just a difficult spot for me right now. For example last night we're briefly chatting via text and she tells me she is reading a new book on mindfulness she just bought and how its supposed to help with pain. She says going through a divorce is painful. I simply wrote...

This is basically my plan, as I wrote. It'll happen in a phone call before I even committ myself to another outing with her. Yes we initially went out and caught up, had an amazing time, but I did feel this one night needed to take place in order for us to feel reacquainted with each other after...

Yes, I am a good guy. Great in fact. But those types of guys typically finish last, right? It's just a fascinating thing because when I look back at when we were in our teens and 20s, I think of her as so much younger and naive, so maybe it was just that young foolish phase for a chick. Now...

The problem with her right now is she is fresh out of a marriage (even if it was going downhill from the start) and the emotional gap she needs "filled" would really to be to just have fun and be distracted from the tough time she's going through. I can give her that of course with fun nights...

My plan is to explain to her how I'm not looking to marry her, not even looking to date her, but again, to just have her leave a little piece of her mind "open". Ultimately what I'd hope for is a casual dating thing that would eventually include sex with the (likely small, I know) possibility...

For the better part of almost 16 years up until the pandemic hit in 2020 and we lost touch, since our high school years I was friends with a girl I always had a crush on since day one. So a lifelong crush you could say, and one that somehow someway I never truly gave up on. I met her when I was...

Been there. She just wasn’t into you like that. Def liked you as a nice guy to chat with at work but that’s where it ended. She should have known better than to come back to your office to chat after you started progressing by texting her, but truth is a lot of chicks especially at work, are...

I kind of agree, but it still would be hard to believe a woman that’s truly interested wouldnt counter in some form. it’s also not like I asked her for one specific day. what would your text have looked like?

I appreciate this breakdown and see where you're coming from. You make some great points, though I do feel its a little ballsy and putting a lot of pressure on which I'm sure women won't be crazy about if they're on the fence about you like this one definitely was. Assuming a woman is just going...

She just got back from a trip the night before, so I texted her "So was (trip location) all you had hoped for? Looks like I'm not going to be running into (store name that she works at where I've seen her most lately) anytime soon. What would you think of grabbing a drink on one of your days off...

You sound like a pretty miserable and nasty guy

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense. I like basketball. So if she doesn't like basketball we're not compatible? With regards to asking her out in person, we only see each other once every few weeks if that, in a friends gathering of some sort. I really don't want to wait that long.

She's unlikely to text me. While I'm not 100% sure if she has the romantic interest or not, I am 90% sure she falls into a very small category of women who are just very inexperienced and do not know how to flirt or take hints properly. I get vibes that, and truly think that she is extremely...

Thanks for your two cents. I agree your approach is always the best way, and I've thought of that many times, but really there are no shared interest options I can think of and also none that work at this time. We both do like hiking, but its freezing where we live right now. We both sort of...

She's 100% single. Thanks.
