Steelrain21 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 (edited) I met a woman on an online dating service about a month and a half ago. We talked for about a couple weeks before meeting up. She lives a couple hours away and invited me to come stay the weekend with her and go to a very small Halloween party her friend was having. Weekend went well; we have a very playful chemistry together. She is the mother of two children, a 12 year old girl and a 9 year old boy from different fathers. I myself have no children. I've made 3 weekend trips up to visit her since we started talking. The last visit, which was a week ago, her daughter was supposed to spend the night at her friend's house, but instead had her friend come over to their place. This happened when I was just about to the town where she lives in. I told her that I could turn around and we could do some other weekend instead. She knows I expect her to always put the kids first. She said it was fine with her if I was ok with it. I decided I was ok with it and stayed over, sleeping on the couch for the daughter's sake. The next day, the woman, her daughter, and her daughter's friend spent half of the day at the mall. During the afternoon, I noticed that the woman was comfortable with small displays of affection around her daughter. She would hold my hand or put her arm around mine periodically and didn't seem to mind doing so with her daughter around. Later on she told me that her daughter had texted her while we talking to one another and was telling her mother "He's cute, he's nice. You two should date." That combination of everything during the weekend was leading me to think that she really likes me a lot when I left. She contacted me first after I left a few hours later to see if I got home alright. I noticed slightly before my last visit and then now that it seems like we talk less than we did in the beginning. She would go out of her way to text me a lot more often than she does now. I try to keep it balanced to make sure I'm not coming off as too needy. If I contact her first one day, I'll let her do so the next. She still will contact me on her own, but sometimes it's later in the evening, whereas before it was fairly early in the day everyday. We texted until very late Friday night, and I was the last one to send a text to her. I was going to leave it up to her to talk to me next but did not hear anything yesterday or as of now today. Is she losing interest? I understand she has kids and she's been working on a few final projects for school that are due this coming week but I feel like I've gotten mixed signals all of a sudden. I took the situation as a sign that maybe she needed a little space, so my plan was to wait until she makes contact. Any advice or ideas about the situation? Edited December 5, 2011 by Steelrain21
