Guys,
Looking for some advice on how to proceed.
I’ve been on three dates with a girl. No kissing or sexual intimacy in that time.
On date 3 I asked her if she was interested in a relationship, as that’s my intention.
She states she has just come out of an on-off long term relationship of 10 years with an ex 6 months ago and needs time for herself. She stresses that it has got nothing to do with me but is bad timing. She offers to be friends and wants to continue to hang out.
I can understand her position, but my gut says to move on as I don’t want to end up in the friend zone. Interestingly I came across this study which found less than 10% of couples started off as friends.
She seemed genuine in her response and really wanted to continue to hang out. She also has been really enthusiastic on our dates hanging around as late as possible.
How would you proceed?
