apex80 Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 Hi everyone!!! Ok heres the deal.. I asked out a 'friend' of mine, shes real cute, real nice girl to be around. She has a kid and although im not put off by that in the slightest, im not too sure how I should go about suggesting a date with her. Shes obviously a single parent and has just started working a ver demanding job. I called her up to ask her out and she said 'yes' but that its hard for her to find a baby sitter etc... NOW big question is was that her way of saying 'No' or was it a gentle warning that its not going to be easy?? I suggested to her that I she has a think about what she might want to do and that im cool with where ever she wants to go. With that she said she would see me next week at work. Should I give her another call before the weekend, or play it 'cool' and wait until I see her next week?? I know for a fact that we are both just sitting in out houses on our own, and she lives around the corner!! At the same time I dont want to be all pushy etc.... lol im 3 years outta practice!
gwennebe Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 You could try asking her if she would like some company. Offer to bring dinner or something. (Pizza and a movie, Kid friendly of course) Also, don't forget to bring some flowers. Then she doesn't have to get a babysitter. If she declines then maybe she's just not interested in anything other than friends.
jacksonww Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 Be prepared for a lot of lonely nights and phone conversations. I've been dating a single mom, student, full time manager for about a month now. It drives me crazy because I never get to see her. Once a week if I am lucky. I want to get this thing rolling. She likes me, I like her.... but..... she is busy!! Responsible would be a better word. Good luck and be patient. I hear it is all worth it in the end. I guess going slow only means you two can become closer.
emra Posted November 5, 2004 Posted November 5, 2004 I am a single mom as well, no it is not an excuse about the babystiier thing. It is hard at times to find one. Fow awhile, I had one every week, then she moved away. Now, I can hardly ever find one. Maybe, ask if after her child goes to sleep if you could come over and watch a movie? Or ask them to lunch. Start small...
Author apex80 Posted November 5, 2004 Author Posted November 5, 2004 Thank you all for your feedback.... So who thinks I should call her back this weekend? Lets see a show of hands.... ;-) Who thinks I should leave it until I see her next week (probably monday) at work?
