E-Squared Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Okay, there is this woman who lives a few houses down from me, and until a couple of months ago, I didn't realize that she lived that close to me. I remember running into her a few times at the library that I frequent and thought she had a level of attractiveness to her. I have spoken to her before, but they were not that many times. The last thing that I'd want to do is walk up to her doorstep unannounced. So how do I go about trying to talk to her?
Gloria25 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Well, since she's your neighbor, I'm sure you're gonna have opportunities to run into her... Don't rush it, just be attentive for an opportunity...I mean, you did say you ran into her in the library, hopefully that opportunity will come again and you can strike up a convo w/o coming off as too aggressive. Now, if you're having difficulty finding an opportunity to chat her up, then maybe you can be bold and walk up to her doorstep, but you better have a good reason. Maybe asking her who does her lawn is an idea you can try? But, just be careful about trying to date neighbors, cuz after my recent experience that went sour, you're gonna have to see that person around every day like it or not...

Good point on that last part. I just don't like coming off as a weird person and I want to try to find a way to chat her up. I'll see what I could do.
angel.eyes Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Spend more time outside your house and more about town and the neighborhood. Linger around the library since you've seen her there, a nearby coffee shop, the grocery store, etc. You can also host a neighborhood barbeque and invite all the neighbors on your street over. That's your best bet. 1
Author E-Squared Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Perhaps, but I don't see her at the library much. In fact, I had not seen her there in a while, but I mostly go in there to pick up holds and then leave. She only lives three houses down from me, but I don't feel that it is right to come up to her door like that. It just seems creepy.
Timshel Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 How about a landscaping or architectural question? Does she have a flower bed or something unique in her yard you can ask about? I once knocked on a neighbors door to ask about their roof shingles. Architectural and I got them too! You can always say your next door don't look home and could you have some sugar. Word to the wise though, neighbor relations can be tricky. If things go south or you value space and privacy in a relationship........there's. no. escape. 1
