Hey April, You have helped me out in the past and were correct with your advise however I went against your advice to only find myself asking more questions. You are great……
On to my next life chapter. The parents of a good friend of mine some what set me up with a daughter of their friends. Follow? anyway….This lady is 25 and I am 30. She is going back to school for nursing and I am established with my career as a banker. We went on a “first date” and I thought we hit it off just right. The conversation never ended, I listened and learned about her and she did the same. I must also say that she does like to talk but that is fine with me…Anyway, the date was a night at a mid-class restaurant, we had food and drinks which lasted for about 3 hours. Of course, since I did the invite out, I paid however she wanted to pay but couldnt. She told me after I paid that she will have to take me out. I was happy for that as it is another date…
Anyway, it has almost been a week and we have texted and talked every day but I have asked her to do some things since then however she is always busy. I know that she did say that she has a busy week ahead however there should be an invite or some time set aside but nothing. I asked her straight out in a very diplomatic way if she was interested and she said that she is not interested and not interested in getting involved with anyone at this time. She does however what to take me out and hang out. Her past from what I know of it has been as follows in chronologic order: 1) Dated a guy for 4 years and found out he was a crack head, 2) after that, dated a firefighter to find that he was a liar. Now her path of life leads her to me.
My question to you is – since we (in my opinion) “hit it” off and that she does want to take ME out and she wants to be friends. Given her past relationships, is there a chance for me although she said no? I do get the feeling that there is however dont want to be “needy”. Can you shed some light on what she may be thinking and what I should do?
