I met a cool lady at a wedding I stood up in, apparently she is good friends with the bride and other friends I know. I got her number and we texted a bit for a few weeks. She has been separated for over a year, so I knew from the start this was a hail marry in regards to romance, so I thought I would try and be friends. After inviting her to a BBQ and a few other benign get togethers with no success I let it go.
After two months, she started texting again asking how I’ve been and that she has not heard from me in a while. Every now and then I’ll get a text asking if I’m still working, or I may text her something light and end up texting back and forth for a while. I asked her if she wanted to hang out a couple of times after she texted me this last time and again, she is just not jumping on it.
Why do women text and want to talk, but then keep you at a distance? I’d be happy with friends because she’s cool as hell and knows people I know. I think that confuses me too…why not just be friends? She obviously wants to talk to me.
Variations of this scenario has been happening a lot more often since I turned 40 and am dating divorced women so I thought I would ask about the behavior. My friend just started dating a woman he had been working on for 6 months so maybe I need to be more patient and keep a line of communication open with women I meet while I continue dating? Even if it did not pan out right away?
Any thoughts?
