A request

[sleeptech81]

By request, I've been instructed to update about how last night went.  See, I was going to completely forego the whole "blogging" thing about it, since that's what I usually do, and it gets my hopes up, and then it's that much more disappointing when things don't work out like I like.

But, Tina demanded I update (with some encouragement from Christy

I most certainly did not demand! I would have been happy with coffee turned into dinner. We talked a bunch about everything and she's a really cool person. I have to make sure she's not a psycho. Anyway . . . .

1. Sound like everything went well. Really well. Why not keep it on a friends with possible interest footing, for right now? You know, so you don't go overboard on her.

2. I've got another high school re-connect to add to the list. My brother-in-law is getting married in Sept to a girl he went to high school with. They met back up last year and hit it off very well. She has an eight year old little girl. I's really an amazing story and I like her much better than the Wicked Witch of the Midwest.

3. I seriously need to send you a late birthday gift. No polo? What about those days you really don't feel like a button up for work?

4. I agree with the last name thing. It just easier with kids.

"We talked a bunch about everything and she's a really cool person."

Who did you talk to, Tina? I'm sorry, but I didn't understand the first line of this comment.

And you're more than welcome to send me anything you like for a late birthday present. Anything at all.

Sorry it's not to clear. I was trying to say that I would have been more than happy with an update like:

Everything went really well. Coffee turned into dinner. We talked a bunch about everything and she's a really cool person. The End.

Does that make more sense.

What size shirt do you wear now? I'll get on that present.

[sleeptech81]

Wow... I didn't expect you to offer to get me a shirt! I wear an XL now. I trust your judgement.

And yes, that makes a ton more sense.

*looks down at the polo he's wearing while at work*

Who're you callin' a douchebag?

[sleeptech81]

That's what I thought. I can't help how sexy this lime green polo makes me look.

IMO, divorced chicks want one of three things: 1) they want something more relaxed like a breath of fresh air, and to feel desired again; 2) they want to hop right into another serious relationship and make it work this time around; 3)they are completely repulsed by guys and want nothing to do with them. Considering that she approached you on Match and FB (openly looking for a date), I'd say she is more of the first type - especially considering that she just got a tattoo (yes, I looked her up on your FB). So, ask her out again, and soon. Make sure there is alcohol. Relate well to the kid, but don't get all Jerry Maguire. Make sure you are focused on her, because divorced chicks want to be wanted more than the last guy evidently did, and they want to be treated better. Don't ask about her past relationship unless she brings it up. Do things that make her feel like she's a young, single 20-something, not a divorced mom.

That's some good advice, right there.

Good news is, she texted me earlier and is wanting me to hang out with her friends this weekend for some sort of dinner. So, I didn't even have to ask her out, she's wanting me to join her!

Also, don't be FB stalkin' people on my FB! You're already friends with my cousin, and I'm sure you don't know her :).

This girl has a void in her life now. She's looking for something to fill it up, might as well be a big ole hunk of Adam. Show her a good time and let her forget whatever else she has going on. This is kinda like social therapy for her. Ease her mind, and then I'm sure you'll get a chance to ease the body.

YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT ALL NIGHT LONG!

[ualaw2004]

Since, you already have a guaranteed outing this weekend, why not ask her out for drinks ~Thursday? Heck, what am I saying? Today is St. Patty's Day! See if she can go out tonight (she might not because of the kid). Regardless, if all of y'all aren't going for drinks after dinner this weekend, make sure that at least the two of y'all do. If this thing this weekend is just dinner, ask her at some point before or after dinner if she wants to go out afterwards for a drink. I mean, don't ask her out every night, but find out when her good nights for going out are (due to the kid), and take advantage of them. Don't leave this girl at home being a mom when she wants to go out and can go out. What I'm getting at is I don't think this is a girl that you have to be all coy with about waiting to ask her out again. Don't go telling her you love her or anything, but this is a girl looking to go out and have fun - you just have to give her the opportunity.

Hey I applaud you for even playing the game sir,I can't even sack up and ask a girl out half the time without everybody I know running intel for me and by then it's too late.

It sounds like a lovely time, Adam. I'm glad you guys are enjoying each others' company. I can't add any advice that hasn't already been said, so you just continue to have a good time together. :)
