Wooing my neighbor: I came. I hugged. I wooed. Now moving on. (3 Viewers)

Depending on where you live, if your town has family-type activities, that would be a non-threatening "date". All six of you pile in the minivan to go downtown and listen to some White Lion wannabes while the kids get face-painted and play lame carnival games.

The OP has a minivan?  Yeah, this'll go well.

 
This is taking too long to develop.  Tonight, bang on her door at 2am and ask if she wants to "party".  Make sure to use air quotes and tap your nose a few times.  

 
When I check back on this Monday morning, I better not only hear that it rained, you thanked her a thousand more times for the cookies and you returned the cookie plate.

no... the wine comment is lame. As soon as you start with that #### you're showing your hand. Keep it casual. Leave yourself an out.

Completely disagree.  There needs to be some minor semblence of flirting or it could just be a friendly neighbor gesture in her mind (just as she did to him with the cookies...left him uncertain).   If want to move forward to more than just friendly waves by the garbage cans than need to get her in that kind of mindset.   Suggesting she bring the wine while he provides the food is hardly any kind of a huge hand....it's an adult gesture and comment.    She should be looking forward to this being about them enjoying themselves together over some adult beverages and not just a kiddy get together with sippy cups.

Maybe you two can bond over a mutual interest, Colonel.  If she's a football fan invite her over for the season opener, but intentionally mispronounce it as "the NFL Lickoff".

She'll be unsure whether she heard you correctly,  but the subconscious seed will be planted.

Then, if she comes over, you can tell her how you were a legendary high school QB.  At halftime have her pretend to be a center so you can take some snaps.

yea, the wine comment is awful.  and if she's bitter, it could be heard as whine.  especially with the "charming sarcastic" delivery.

you should go over there in the rain and tell her you couldn't take it anymore and had to ask her out.  make sure to not be charmingly sarcastic.

 
Just knock on the door in an Army General get up and simply say "Col Nathan Jessup, reporting for duty ma'am"...a few others that might or might not go over as well

"You want dinner, you want dinner, you can't handle dinner!"

-"You want me on your Vajay wall, you need me on your Vajay wall"

-"I would rather you simply blow me and go on your way"

The problem is not the wine in and of itself. The reason your suggestion is terrible is because any type of pre-rehearsed lines with 'charming sarcasm' etc... is unnatural and lame and typically comes across really weird.

Just be cool, read the room, act natural and invite her over. Once you get her over to your place continue to play it cool. Figure out if you actually like her. If you guys are vibing nature will take its course.

I agree with the foregoing.  But I also agree with offdee's comment that "there needs to be some minor semblance of flirting or it could just be a friendly neighbor gesture in her mind (just as she did to him with the cookies)."

It's cheesy.  There is no need for it. If there is a connection it will come out at dinner.  

If there is no connection then it would actually be pretty convenient to have an attractive next door neighbor you are friendly with.  Attractive women generally have attractive friends.  Plus, she can probably babysit on occasion.

How don't you already know so much about her?

Stalk her on facebook, find interesting tidbits of places she has been to and things she likes to do..this is what you bring up in conversations. 

I'm not saying I would ever do anything creepy like this but you could...

 
when I was a kid, like 7 or 8, I used to call pretty women "Woo Woos".  Like, "Oooooh dad!  She's a woo woo!"  or "Daaaang, look at that woo woo".  It was based on that classic, construction worker whistle/cat call... but I couldn't whistle, so I just said woooo woo!   

The thread title makes me think of that. 

 
As long as you never ask her out, she is both thinking about having sex with you and not thinking about having sex with you.

I don't believe she's on Facebook, I did search. Although I don't have a last name yet. Patience, grasshoppah.

Ugh...you're not trying hard enough!

This is all stuff you can do during the rain storms.

Come on, 3 less visits to weather.com and some amateur detective work and you can build a foundation of material to work with when the kids run off and you find yourself alone with her.

This is what the Internet is for!!!

tldr; update: It's raining it's ### off but I did get a quick wave

Got home just as it's starting to getting dark. Thunder rolling. Lightning flashing all around; like very close. Pull in the driveway and she and one of her girls have just pulled their trashcan to the road and she's quickly ushering her kid back in the house before the bottom fell out. About 1 minute later, THIS. WHAT A #### BLOCK!! :rant:  But she did smile and wave on the way back in. 

Good weather forecasted for the weekend though. It's about damn time.

She's got a nice can, I'll give you that.

How would you solve this Issue? Neighbor keeps dogs off lease and they run around and do their business on other neighbors property.
