suge Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 This girl has me really confused. Background, she's a single mom, and at first I thought maybe she just wanted to take things slow or was a bit guarded but I am starting to second guess that. We texted every day pretty much for the last 3 weeks. The first two dates there was very little physical contact. We had a great time, dinner and drinks, great conversation, a lot of laughing etc but ended with just a hug. Third date I figured I would try to escalate more, went to the movies, playfully grabbed her arm a few times, touched her leg but she moved it away... as we were leaving i grabbed her around the waist. as we pulled up to her place she literally got out of my car before the car was even turned off, which had me playing catchup to get to her at the door she turned and gave me a quick hug, tried to go for the kiss but she had turned away as she was stepping inside and said she had a great night. We have a 4th date scheduled in 2 days. This has really thrown me off, I'm not really sure how to read this girl I have never had this problem before. Im honestly considering just putting it out there and saying that I'm getting mixed signals from her, that I like her and enjoy spending time with her. Theres taking it slow and theres showing a lack of interest.. I can't really tell at this point.
GirlontheLam Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 Well she definitely doesn't want to get physical yet.
Mint Sauce Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 hah! I also just started dating a single mom, and my experience is very similar, so I wouldn't worry straight away! She put up quite a "fight" before showing her interest, but once the first kiss happened (4th date iirc), she became a lot more spontaneous. But the next step seems to be an equally big hurdle. Nevertheless, she now expresses her interest more clearly (she already told her mom and friends she found someone new). So, as long as she keeps agreeing on going out, I'd give her time, if you think she's worth it.
FitChick Posted November 17, 2012 Posted November 17, 2012 How long has she been divorced? Has she had any serious relationships since then? If the wounds are fresh, she would be skittish.
GiddyUp8 Posted November 18, 2012 Posted November 18, 2012 If you're looking to progress quickly forget about it lol, single moms for the most part have one thing in mind and that isn't you. Chances are she isn't looking to make a mistake again, you pushing or trying to progress things physically isn't what she has in mind. That's not to say single moms are looking for a daddy, but they're for the most part not looking to for a fling. Honestly sounds like you're looking to get laid and thought a single mom would be an easy target. Move on unless you're genuinely Interested in this woman, move on because you aren't getting in the door that easy and you'll definitely have to prove you are worthy before you get physical.
