Wooing my neighbor: I came. I hugged. I wooed. Now moving on. (2 Viewers)

:lol:  T-shirt talk. Noted, GB. 

And yes, I am with you on the lunch date. I did think of that already. But it was her idea, and it is perfectly fine for me if that's where she'll feel comfortable talking. That's the goal, anyway. A comfortable conversation setting. So, coffee it is. We'll go from there.

You're the one that brought up lunch in the first place, she was following your lead.

Somehow I am in total agreement here.  Things are not dead but this woman is not as easy as I thought.  This is unfortunate for our hero.  He is going to have to put some hours in on this one.  Sounds like he is up for the challenge though.  Maybe this really is a love connection?

I agreed also, but went back and look at her response on that, and I do believe it was just a time availability issue. And conversation has been good since then. No awkwardness at all. I think we're still good. And I really couldn't care less if it's lunch or coffee, as long as we get to talk.

The coffee part could also be her saying "@#$%, lunch isn't going to work, but I don't want to lose momentum." 

She's into you for sure. She also has her own game going (I'm guessing she chose her jeans carefully.)

Yep, after seeing her responses afterwards, I think you're right. I feel like she wanted to go ahead and do it, so rather than delaying for lunch due to her time commitments, she countered with coffee earlier in the day tomorrow.

I can't quite read the lunch v. coffee date thing.  If she really wanted lunch she could have picked another day later in the week, but she went w/ coffee tomorrow instead.  Which implies she didn't want to put the date off, but wanted it to be shorter. 

Maybe she just normally works through lunch and can't give up that much of her day...  

Lots of variables in this curve ball.

:popcorn:

Yep. But it doesn't have to be shorter, either. I'm taking off for an "appointment" so I will stay as long as she is able/wants to. :coffee:   

 
All this means is that we're going to go through this whole waiting game again tomorrow, with everyone wondering why NRJ hasn't posted .000184 seconds after the conclusion of his date. I'm setting the o/u for "It's because he's balls deep" predictions at 4.5. 

 
Your intentions are known and she has reciprocated.  Congrats!

I would move at a reasonable pace now though.  For your protection as much as hers.  You are neighbors and have kids involved.  Get to know each other.

 
Also, don't think I mentioned it before, but she has at least a couple of tats. One small tribal symbol (I think) on the back of her neck, that I saw one day when she had her hair in a ponytail :wub:   and then another that is some sort of quote or something along the inside of her forearm. It was in a foreign language (maybe Hebrew?). Could be dangerous. I'm going to ask for a debriefing.  :excited:  I mean, are the Colonel's underwear really a matter of national security?!?!

 
I don't get all of this debate about coffee instead of lunch.  It's like you're spending too much time...

:removesSunglasses:

reading the tea leaves.

 
What are you planning on ordering on this coffee date?  I feel like straight black might put you into grandpa category but you definitely can't order an orange mocha frappacino.

A tribal tat and you didn't close the deal on Sunday?  Either she's born again or not into you.

Cappuccino would be a safe bet, then have a heart with her name drawn in the foam. 

 
Love!  exciting and new....

Come aboard...we're expecting you!!

and love....life's sweetest reward

let it flow....it floats back to you!!!!!!

You're acting like a neighborhood mom, not a potential love interest.

Leave the Colonel alone.  The active/involved dad vibe he gives is working in his favor from the love interest standpoint.  But he does need to make a move sooner than later.

 
With the pace of this courtship, we have well into the fall maybe even winter before the OP gets laid.  Assuming this happens at some point, how in the world do you manage sexy time if she has the kids full time ?  Does she have to get a babysitter to come over to your place?

I'm never one for games, but if I were you I would look for an opportunity/excuse to end this date on your terms. Leave 'em wanting more. Sa "ordinarily my schedule is under my control, but my tank top guy is only in town from Sturges for an hour and he's carved out the time for me." Makes you seem important and not super desperate. Leads to immediate plans to continue whatever you are discussing (rain) at the end of the coffee.

It's crazy because, like, if he's wearing that in his backyard one day just randomly, ok. But a week's worth of thought and planning went into this day. And a Saints shirt and matching Saints hat and matching black sneakers is what resulted??

And now the "hey beautiful" text this morning?

What the hell is happening in here?  It's like the president is sitting in the situation room with the joint chiefs and his other most trusted advisors mapping out strategy for a week, and he steps out for a few minutes, goes and invades a few countries and mashes some nuke buttons, and then comes back in to tell us about it. "I assume that was ok with you guys?"

Sounds like someone is jealous ;)

:lol:  at rain. Yeah, it's a thought. Will gauge by how the conversation is going. Can always get an emergency call back to work if necessary. Or Sturgess tank top guy. :lol:

Stop with this...

If you must be colloquial, it's "young'ins/young'uns" not young guns. Do you get french benefits at work? 

If you're trying to use a cutesey nickname (ie "besties" or "whatevs") then that's even worse.

I just assumed young guns was auto corrected from one of your acceptable options - chill fam, tevz.

 
Are you past your reluctance to say what she does?  You mentioned she works for herself--doing what?

I was all in for you prior to the tats disclosure.  Not necessarily a dealbreaker but they show questionable judgment IMO. She is in her early 40s?

Agreed, GB, you're our hero, and doing all the right non-wardrobe-related things here.
