Heya (sorry long post... long story... damn life)

When I broke up with my ex in june last year the first thing I did was to get drunk, badly...

Anyway, I'm usually not the type of guy that buys drink to woman but when I'm wasted it comes by itself... So there's that really good looking girl with her friend, of course I asked the barmaid to pay her a drink, and her friend too so she doesn't feel left out.

(by the way this is a little background of the story)

So we chat alot over night and she tells me she has a boyfriend, which is fine right there because a girlfriend is the only thing I wanted. For some reason in our modern world (or in my drunken state of the oh my god it's 5am and I work at 7am I have her my e-mail address so she could add me to msn --- This might sound geek, but I've had bad experiences in the past while giving my # to strangers.

SO she added me the next day and we kept on talking at least 3-4 nights a week and going out a few times.

Until last thursday... that last thursday I checked on msn to see if someone wanted to go out and have a beer, she was the only online person so I started chatting and she told me she was going out tonight (which was weird cause she didn't go out in over 2 months) and then she told me her boyfriend broke up with her. She's 19 (by the way) and I'm 21. That was her first serious boyfriend, on my side, I can't say I had alot of relationship, 3 ofthem that all lasted over 2 years. Anyway she looked pretty sad so I decided that I would try to make her make her happy.

So we go out and bah we are with her friends at the bar and at the end of the night when the "slow" starts one of her friend "match" us togheter and we danced 3 slows, the first minute was kinda ackward but as the songs played she got alot more closer to me. Anyway the songs ended and I went home as I was working the next morning.

On friday, I asked her what she was doing and she was, once again going to the bar, as I was going there anyway I told her I'd meet her there later on. She got pretty messed up that night, and well the more she drinked the closer she got to me, hell, when the "slow" started again she jumped on me like I knew her all my life). Well we went to the restaurant after and well nothing happened !

On Saturday I once again asked her what she was doing and she planned on going to the bar with some friends, as I'm a not life I was, once again, going there anyway so I meet her there and she tells me that her friends didn't show up and she came alone (ahhh! got lucky I was there!)

Anyway we danced the whole night and at the end I asked her to dance (we're not sober but not drunk either) and she said "Ok, if you want to ---- which is my mind really sounds like a bad thing..!)

We danced one again all those songs (note that we've been alone the whole night) and I took her out to eat something after and ONCE AGAIN nothing happended.

On sunday (yesterday!!) I was going out with friends and she was going to the movie theater so I told her to come to that bar after as it's accross the street anyway, I really though she would't come but hey, surprise she showed up, we chatted a little (less than usual, as I was with a few friends I hadn'T seen in a while). and at the end of the night we both went separate ways.



SOOO that takes us to today.
She just broke up, and I think she's still a little in love with her... 2 of her friends told me her boyfriend is a complete idiot so did her cousin, one of her friend also told me she was attracted to me but that might be bs.

She likes hockey (hey I'm canadian), her favorite meal is the same as mine, she drinks beer, etc.

She so cute, intelligent and I like her personality soooo I want this to work. But am I running in something dangerous? One of my friend told me girls often use the first guuy they meet as a "lifesaver" from their recent brokeup and well they use him until they feel better...
I don't want to be that, how can I find out more about that relationship? I don't want to push her, I'm not on a rush and if it takes 3 months it takes 3 months, but I don'T want in 3 months to ask her out and the answer is, I can't I'm goin with my new boyfriend.


I dunno if all this make sense or if anyone is going to read trough all of it... but my feelings for this girl are kinda strong at the moment and I'd like to be with her really bad... I felt so confortable with her when we danced, like I knew her forever.


P.S. : Forgive the english, my main language is french.

Thanks for the replies...!

It's possible she's just needy at the current time and using you as comfort... however, since she and you have been talking on MSN for some time now I would say that there is potential interest. Why don't you start talking to her on the phone? It's obvious she's not a crazy... at least, it doesn't seem like it. Also, by this point something should have happened... a kiss at the very least. It's one thing for a girl to not want to have sex so quickly, it's a whole different thing to go out multiple nights, enjoy being around each other, and not do anything - unless she's grouped you in the "friends" category, or she's preparing to become a nun. Next time you and her are together dancing, see how she responds to your advances. You definitely be more aggressive.

Oh, welcome to the forum.

Yeah, you have to make something happen . The quicker it happens the more likely you will become a rebound but the longer you wait the more likely you will become a friend.

And damn you almost drink as much as me.

Yeah... well I was dancing and I kept wondering "Should I kiss her?".

But then I though, maybe too soon...
I guess too soon could change in too late...

Let's say I don't go for the kiss // or we are not in a bar, what kind of "aggressive" action should I use?

This might be weird coming from a girl of 21yo, but I haven't really had to "work" for my past girlfriend, it all happended so fast that I don'T really have any good experiences on the dating scene.

THAT WAS ONE PAINFUL POST

READ THE DJ BIBLE - YOU ARE AN AFC.

1) buying women drinks you don't know is - bad thing

2) She tells you she has a boyfriend - bad thing

3) Stayed up chatting to her all night without C&F nor Kino or nothing but email - bad thing

4) She tells you she is going to a bar every week and you drop everything to be with her every week with the same lame routine dancing all night and nothing - bad thing

5) you have not much of a social life and you let this girl know about it by spending all your free time with her - bad thing

6) she is not your girlfriend yet you take her out to eat after the Bar - and what are you getting in return, a nice conversation??? bad thing

7) You have strong feelings to this girl who you have not even dated- you got oneitis bad - VERY BAD THING. You are headed downhill fast.

READ THE DJ BIBLE and you might do better with the next girl because this one is treating you like an emotional tampon/friend and she will soon forget about you when she finds another guy who does not supplicate after her a$$.

Her ex boyfriend cannot be a complete idiot if they broke up and she is still in love with him. He is far ahead of you.

Don't worry we all been there so just read THE DJ BIBLE and don't let this happen again.

In English this is usually referred to as a "rebound". The best way to avoid that is to indirectly let her know you are interested but are going to give her time to adjust. The bad part is they will often get into some kind of relationship in the meantime. Usually they turn ugly and then you may have to wait again. They also might become long term which doesn't help you.

So you've defined your problem well. I've walked into 2 rebound situations and the one that worked best was all about proceeding very slowly. You've been seeing her everyday for a few days and you might want to slow that down. Wait a couple days and arrange something specifically with her alone. Don't talk to her everyday and don't be so easy to find. Set the pace and slowly increase it. Maybe in 3 months you can get back to whatever you consider a normal pace.

No matter what you do it is dangerous trying to put together an LTR from a rebound. You will be associated with the pain she is going through now. She may well blame you for anything bad that happens in the next little while. By not seeing her so often you can be the bright spot amongst the not so good times.

Canadian roots? hehe
no irish, so maybe even worse.

But yeah i wanted to say what damage said but didn't have the heart.

DK is right to. But this is a very delicate situation. Even if you are to take it slow you really have to make the first move soon and then slowly progress.

How long was her past relationship? You have talked to her for a long time. Not that this is a guarantee or anything but if she isn't over this guy and may not be for a lot longer than 3 months you may already be associated with him. After all you were the guy who wanted her when she was with him.

If I were you I would try to see where it was going pretty soon and if she resists than dont sweat it. I'm sure you will find a replacement in no time. Just quit pining on this one and enjoy being single (and drunk).
