Wooing my neighbor: I came. I hugged. I wooed. Now moving on. (1 Viewer)

[cstu]

Good move resisting the urge to just come out and tell her you're a FBG. As we all know being a FBG is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

You've played this right so far. First you must discover if she's into you for you, not for your status in life.

I've said before that an average looking divorced guy with two kids, a job, a house, full head of hair, and ability to make a standing jump onto a trampoline is a better catch than a hot divorced woman with two kids.

Throw in Drew Brees-like QB skills in the backyard football games, and PANTIES BE DROPPING!!

 

[5-ish Finkle]

You're all ripping him apart for the t-shirt/hat thing(which, I agree, is about as "dude bro" as you can get), but are letting him off the hook for pulling up a truck to use the tailgate as extra seating?  Ooookay.

She could be bat#### crazy or have other psychological issues

Could?  

 

[Cybergeek]

I may be in the minority here, but to me, Jessup is coming across as creepy and desperate. Not faulting him for trying, but any woman biting at that bait has to be a little crazy. This'll be good for a short term fling, but it'll end badly down the road. Just MHO. 

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful?

Yeah. Don't be hater.

 

[gianmarco]

Zoo and then trampoline park is the tentative plan. And, she invited us over when we get back to play games.  

You are in, GB.  She's definitely interested.  It'd be pretty hard to #### this up at this point.  As long as you don't go crazy fast or completely fail to show her interest on your part (neither of which you've done so far), you'd pretty much have to show up in a matching sports t-shirt and hat to screw this up. 

In all seriousness, seems you're handling this just fine and I'm personally enjoying reading about the wooing.  And so glad you guys are heading indoors today.

Just can't wait to be the Russian judge @ the consummation!!

 

[CurlyNight]

Lol of all the talk about his attire at the bbq. If it's not schtick then wow...

It's almost up to cheese levels.

 

 

[Major]

Agree you should have cleared your outfit choices thru this board. Don't make that mistake again. 

 the :style: guys are here for you GB.  if you're going to wear a ball cap, at least class it up with a polo or casual button down.

There will be no Rushin' at this consummation. The Colonel is gonna take his time as he makes sweet, sweet love to his woman.

 

[lakerstan]

My advice for him is to just let it flow. Kids around or not, just let it flow. No rush. She's not going anywhere being neighbours. Not only would it be rough for her if it goes bad but for him too. If she's really feeling it then she'll be looking for signs that he is as well before anything romantic beyond a kiss goodnight starts. It's more important to stay on the same page with her and not appear too eager or she'll probably start thinking in a way he doesn't want.

The neighbor aspect really makes a difference, and there is no rush, but you do want your interest to be known to avoid the friend zone.  Calling her beautiful may have helped to break that barrier.

May?

 

[Don't Toews Me]

I may be an idiot, but regarding the whole dress thing that is being more analyzed than the OJ Simpson case, it just doesn't matter. If she likes him going into the BBQ event last night, after seeing him with the matching Saints shirt and hat, I don't think she's going to say, "He's wearing a matching Saints hat and shirt? That's a deal breaker. Time to move on." It's not going to move the needle either way. It doesn't matter.

He's doing fine. It's been 1 day together. He seems to know what he's doing. Kiss on the cheek should be up very soon unless she strikes with the lips first.

Kiss on cheek?   Jesus what year are you guys living in?  She has a nude teed up to text him whenever he gives the word.  If he goes to the zoo and trampoline place then he is balls deep by midnight.  If not this whole thing over.

Is she gonna jump on the trampoline? Hubba hubba.

If it were Em in this spot, he would've flamed out trying to put a move on her and then went home to cry into his Coco-Puffs.

that's a long ### day.  kids are gonna be a ####### joy by the time you get home.  one or the other, not both.

and put me down for no matching hats

Yeah,  we're gonna need a video of that. 

Here's how it looks in my head

We can shtick this all up and criticize cheese, clothing or weather choices. But, at the end of the day, who do we want on that wall trying to win the girl? I can't speak for any of you, but I want NRJ on that wall! I want him to get that girl, with jets flying overhead and explosions in the distance.

 

[elbowrm]

Zoo, then trampoline park, then back to her house?  You're in.  Time to start China shopping.

That could just be your opinion though. NTTAWWT

I would go with the hot divorced woman. Sorry, NRJ. You just aren't my type.

ETA- Too bad we don't have sigs now. This quote would live on forever. 

 

[flranger]

A few days in a row of how are you, good morning pretty girl, etc and this will escalate QUICKLY....

Women love getting a text to start their day.  Of course then they expect it every day and wonder if you are mad at them when you don't send it, but it doesn't take much to keep them reminded you are thinking of them.  Getting her kids ready for school at their age is a PITA for certain and I'm sure she has parenting stess every morning.  A nice morning text thinking of you works wonders.

Are they playing shirtless volleyball on the beach too? Asking for a friend.  

 

[renesauz]

Ignore these shmucks NRJ. Nothing wrong with any of your moves so far.

Positive vibes your way for today's outing!

 

[Ilov80s]

Wait, still no pictures???

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Hit her with a "good morning, beautiful...blah blah blah" text this morning and after a couple of messages back and forth she says they're heading to the grocery and if we want to do something later, they are game for whatever (insert smiley emoji)

 

Well, a declaration of interest and the door was held open.

The fact that she wasn't creeped out is a very good sign.

Yeah... You may want to use that one sparingly or she's going to stop using moisturizer to dissuade you from adding her to your meat suit in the basement. 

Once was fine but tread lightly with that

 

[cockroach]

What a cute, sweet love story. 

Lol@ fist pumping over the number.  Good for you man. I was sort of expecting more when I read the thread title,  but I like those apples.  

The Saints hat/shirt ensemble was fine. Don't listen to the Ted Gundersons around here 

you're in the driver seat man… Just put her in cruise and don't make any mistakes and you'll be pulling up to pound town in no time. 

 

[AcerFC]

Man, you guys are rough. 

 

[Tom Skerritt]

So how many dates before one should attempt to lay the pipe?

 

[Brony]

Black dot

C'mon. It's only their second date!

 

[jwb]

So how many dates before one should attempt to lay the pipe?

This will probably be somewhat predetermined by kids visitation schedules. If a date is booked on a "free" night, then   

 

[Brony]

I would advise not to go head-to-head in trampoline dodgeball vs. the little missus or her kids.  Nothing good could come of that.

This is a middle aged women with 2 kids. Don't #### around with games and dress how you want. If she decides your casual wear is a deal breaker then you dodged a massive bullet.

I'm of the opposite opinion - he's already got her to bite, now it's time to set the hook by asking her out on a real date without the kids.  Keep letting her nibble on the bait too long and she's going to lose the hook.

With a single mom you gotta take your shot when it's available. 

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Is it too soon to send junk pics?  If so, make sure you get a good angle that allows for your grey nikes.

I think I can speak safely for all of us here when I say: we should all be invited to the wedding. As a matter of fact, my wife just mentioned today she would like to go to New Orleans in the next year or so. I will assume that Louisiana is somewhere near there.

Anywoo, keep it up Colonel. Just let us all know where you are registered. Thank you sir. 

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

I would say no.  Most women who have had multiple births piss their pants if they jump on trampoline I have heard.

One time Saints outfit is fine, if he wears it out on their date then not so fine.

I think the comma is in the wrong place....should be good morning beautiful, blah blah blah

With your comma location you've said good morning, PAUSE, beautiful blah blah blah

Tighten up that text game
