Daiting Question: What do I do now????

Question

Im a 24 year old male and recently started talking to a 22 year old, female, divorcee. I thought her divorce had occured a while ago so thought she was ready to date.I asked her out and we watched a movie and talked. I gave her flowers and kissed her at the end of the night. After that I asked her out again but she didnt feel like going out because she said she was depressed.One night she calls me and completely opens up. It turns out that her seperation occured only a month ago so she is still getting through it all.I figured I might as well tell her how I feel about her too, in case she couldnt tell. I exlpained to her that eventhough Id like her and would love to get to know her more, Im going to back off and give her all the space and time she needs. I said Id be their for her is she ever needed someone.She said that next time she'd ask me out. I really like this girl. I havnt felt like this in a long time.What do I do? Could there be a possibilty that she might be interested in me

Answer 1

From experience....a friend "is" what she is looking for.
She obviously has not had enough time to get over, settle in, or even realize and let what has happened sink in.
If you get involved with her at this point...you are asking for a heartache. Sorry. It will comfort her, but she will move on or go back. You will be left in the cold. I believe that you did the right thing and if and when she gets her head on straight, she will call the one who "let" her go. Her friend. If she doesn't; she was not worth having!

Answer 2

You seem to be doing all the right things already. She's going through a heck of a time. Giving her space while being supportive is a wonderful thing. It also helps protect you if she decides to get back with her husband for another try.

From what you've written, it seems that she is already interested in you. The major thing you're going to have to consider is that until the legal papers are all filed for divorcement, she is still considered a married person. Depending on the hostility of the situation, you could find yourself as a co-respondent depending on the state you're living in.

I know that sounds like a bummer, but these things have happened. As I said before, just being there so she can talk to someone may be the best thing you can do.

Answer 3

You did everything right. She needs a man in her corner right now, and your it. I'm sure the two of you will hook up again very soon. She said the next time she'd ask you out. Sounds good! Just don't make the mistake and start crowding her if you don't hear from her for awhile. She has a lot going on, and I don't mean with other men. Divorce is rough going for anyone. And she has already opened up to you...so just bide your time. Your foot is in the door. Good Luck!

Answer 4

I wouldn't do anything different. Give her some space, and let time work it out. But I would keep looking in case she takes too long or someone decides this relationship is not meant to be.

Answer 5

Give the girl time like you said....1 month is not enough keep in touch just not like THAT.if she is interested she will call you and ask you out now all you have to do is be there for her and wait until the right time comes....good luck!

Answer 6

You sound like a gem!! You did just right, back off till the time is right, why ruin it by rushing? Don't second guess yourself, you sound very smart and a heck of a catch (as I'm sure she knows).

Answer 7

aww you sound so sweet anyways she is insterted in you but needs some time to heal from the divorce and i see you notice that we need more men like you around then the world would be a little bit more happier

Answer 8

I think she just needs someone to be there for her right now. But thst not to say that she isnt interested, I mean, she did go to a movie with you didnt she?

Answer 9

dont know thats a tough one
