Okay, so first let me state that I am caught in a game and know that I could just be getting toyed with but that's why I am taking each move as I can and looking for any advice. I'm willing to try anything once.
Well, here goes my back story. There is this girl I have known for about 5 months or so, a friend of a friend. We are both in our early 20s. We have spent a lot of time hanging out together and such (ugg friends) and I have this personal issue with taking the next step and asking someone out and then get lost behind. I've now realized this and in the last two weeks have made strides because I'm not just working on this one girl but of them all, she is the one that could probably turn into something serious, not just a easy lay.
Well, one of my good friends who is pretty good with the ladies actually got her to come hang out with me and found out she had a boyfriend all in the same night. This dude is 11 years older than her. (Daddy issues?) She never bothered telling me about him and didn't until I approached her about it. Well, I pretty much told her that was too bad because I was about to ask her out on a date. Add some crying from her and her telling me how she wished I had told her sooner, I played it the best I could and got her to agree to hanging out more to see if I could change her mind some.
Well, this was last Saturday and since then we have hung out two nights, chatted both days, I've tried my flirting as much but not real good with it so any hints there are welcome. She is going camping with us tomorrow (Saturday) and then canoeing on Sunday. I convinced her to come home early from her boyfriends (where she usually spends the entire weekend) to go. My friends say I am not doing bad but I wonder if they are just being nice...
I guess what I want to know is first, what is the motive of a girl wanting to date a guy 11 years older than her, how can I get him out of the way and where should I go? Also, am I completely nuts? Please help, I really care about this one and want to make the right moves!
Thanks!
