hobo Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Hi all I'm a single dad and I've been chatting to this single mum on MSN whom I met online a long time ago. I've asked her out a few times but always somethings cropped up, for example her son was ill etc. We finally met on Saturday at the local shopping center for a coffee. She told me that she would have to bring her son and we had to adjust the time a little bit as she was planning to go to her parents later. Anyway, during this time I think we got on quite well. I'm not 100% sure as her son is quite young and was a bit of a distraction. I couldn't strike up long conversations as he would interuppt. I asked her if she was busy later and she wasn't so I asked if she could get her parents to babysit so we could go out. She replied that it was too short notice. So I then suggested perhaps they both came to my place later and I would cook dinner. With hindsight I think i shouldn't have tried to arrange something the same day. Anyway, she said "Do you mind if we do it another day? I don't mind if your kids are there as well" I could sense she wasn't comfortable so I dropped the subject. So here's my dilemma. Usually I would think that if a woman takes a rain check without suggesting an alternate date then she's not interested but she sort of has. But am I just reading too much into it? What should my next move be? I've not spoken to her since. My plan was to see if she gets in touch via MSN as I don't want to pester her. I really like this girl but totally unsure if she likes me. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks
SoulSearch_CO Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I think maybe she's just trying to take it slow. Having dinner at your place that same night - that is a bit much on one day - your first meeting. I think she's still interested. The bit about her being okay with your kids being there would indicate as much, otherwise it would have just been "some other time" and dropped. Suggest another date sometime on MSN.
