lookingforbalance Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 My situation: I work as a facilities/purchasing manager for a mid-size company. I had a sales rep come in on a cold sales call, when she walked into my office it was like a lightning bolt hit me out of nowhere, I was awestruck and completely smitten. She wanted to make an appt. for her and her manager to come in and show me how they could help the company. We made the appt. and she came back a couple of weeks later with her manager. As we talked and I gave them a tour her and I were getting along extremely well. At the end of the meeting I told them there was an opportunity for a very small part of our business, not really amounting to much. She made an appt with me for a couple of weeks later by herself to follow up on details and take me to lunch. We went to lunch and had a great time. I definitely felt some chemistry with her. We talked for over two hours and came back to the facility and talked some more. She took some product with her in order to come back and give me prices and samples. I called her the next day and asked her if we could make it for a specific date two weeks in the future, as I had tickets for a local sporting event that afternoon, and wanted her to come along. She was excited and said that would be great. In order to maintain contact between the meetings, I texted her today and gave her some information about the sporting event we are attending. Several hours later I got a reply that was pleasant, but short and matter of fact. I plan to continue where we left off at lunch last week with the eventual goal of having a relationship with this woman. A quick disclaimer: there is a 13 year age difference, me being older. I am looking for some advice on how to proceed. If she makes it obvious that she welcomes my advances, well that's no problem. But if have a hard time reading her signals, I am not sure how to proceed without just coming out and telling her straightforward how I feel and what my intentions are. Any advice on how to approach our “date” is welcome. Thanks
