Bottle of wine for her in a box. With your #### in the box.I have not. Gift suggestions?
(Step 1. Get a box?)

While at the playground drop a few lines about how you've always loved swinging.I do live near a park. This is a good thought. Weather has not been cooperative. Maybe this weekend.

way to set the bar high.see rating above... Dark hair. Has all teeth. Slender, but great cans (not talking about the trash). I'm not going to disclose her profession at this time. I don't want to Wheelhouse this.
I'm guessing that not many non-child molesters are lining up to get into a serious relationship with her.She's a single (as I've been told from another neighbor) mom of 2 little girls.
Jerry: What do you know about dating a single mother?
Rod: Oh I know plenty. I was raised by a single mother.
Jerry: Tell me, because it's been a month, and she's about to take another job in San Diego.
Rod: First, single mothers don't "date." They have been to the circus, you know what I'm saying? They have been to the puppet show and they have seen the strings. You love her?
Jerry: How do I know?
Rod: You know when you know. It makes you shiver, it eats at your insides. You know?
Jerry: No, I don't know.
Rod: Then you gotta have The Talk.
Jerry: But I sure don't like that she's leaving.
Rod: Well, that ain't fair to her. A single mother, that's a sacred thing, man.
Jerry: The kid is amazing.
Rod: No. A real man does not shoplift the "pooty" from a single mom.
Jerry: I didn't "shoplift the pooty." We were thrown together and -- I mean it's two mutual people who -- Alright, I shoplifted the pooty.
Rod: Shame on you. SHAME on you.
Damn ####-blocking weather. :shakesfist:I do live near a park. This is a good thought. Weather has not been cooperative. Maybe this weekend.
How the ### would you risk disclosing her identity by identifying her profession? It's not like she's the president. Women don't like paranoid men.see rating above... Dark hair. Has all teeth. Slender, but great cans (not talking about the trash). I'm not going to disclose her profession at this time. I don't want to Wheelhouse this.
Yep. She is smoking, At first I thought the mother was an older daughter - nope. She is like 29 and has a 7 year old. She looks like a college freshman.Yep. I'm for serious.
So hot new neighbor for you too??
Too late!I'd say 8/10 - Easily the hottest on the block. Great body. Great smile.
Probably trying to outkick my coverage here, but what the hell.
I'll see if I can get a pic soon, but I don't want to crash this train before it even gets out of the station by looking like a creeper.
Invite her and kids over for movie night. Make popcorn, watch a family movie. See what happens nextNathan R. Jessep said:I've not shared a lot of personal stuff here, but figured what the hell. I mentioned this in the iDating thread, but since it's really not an iDate scenario, thought I would throw it out here to the wolves.
I have a beautiful new neighbor that just moved in a few weeks ago, and I am crushing hard. She's a single (as I've been told from another neighbor) mom of 2 little girls. I'm a single dad of 2, and have my kids the majority of the time, and she appears to have hers most or all of the time as well. We recently discovered that our kids go to the same school. I hadn't realized this because both of her kids are a few years younger than my youngest, so kind of in a different circle of school crew. We have had a few brief exchanges in passing and she seems really sweet. She (well, her little girl and her) brought me a plate of cookies weekend before last. (Disclaimer: She said the little girl wanted to bring me cookies. She also brought the older couple across the street a plate of cookies, so it wasn't just me... but does this mean she's interested!? Was she just hedging her bets a little by taking the other neighbors cookies?) She has smiled really big and waved every time she has seen me outside. I get the feeling that she's interested, but I'm not 100% sure.
I've made approximately 1,357 trips to the trash can outside to try and make more contact with her. I'm not sure what the next step is. Dating as a single parent SUCKS! I want to get to know her better and would like to ask her out, but I'm not sure how to approach it gracefully. "Hey are you really single?" (kidding) or just say #### it and ask her to lunch (how?)?
Advice welcomed.
Shtick encouraged.
while it may seem that way, the only other thing I could do is just go knock on the door and make small talk, which seems awkward to meAlso, it seems like you're using the weather as a crutch. Don't make excuses; make opportunities.
If he dumps her she will likely start parking her truck in front of his house for weeks on endPffft. What could go wrong!?
No! Have interesting stuff ready to go.while it may seem that way, the only other thing I could do is just go knock on the door and make small talk, which seems awkward to me

Gutter idea is good. I'd clean those gutters, for sure.Find something going on with the outside of her house that needs a MAN to fix. Hell, even just make up that something was wrong. It's raining a lot lately?.....leave her a little note that when you were taking out the trash you noticed her front gutter was filling up with gunk so took care of it for her quick. Hope you're having a great week!
Short, simple and sweet. Then action is on her. Scenarios:
1) no reply or ignores = she's not interested (just let it be)
2) she writes a reply note back = she wants to just be friends (just let it be)
3) she comes by in person to say thanks = she's curiously interested and comfortable approaching you. In this scenario, then just make that your quick first date...just be charming, make her laugh, be confident, make it clear you're single but just because you haven't met the right woman for you and your kids yet and overall just enjoying a full life exciting life (make her feel like she wants to be a part of that). No mention of wanting to go out on a date or anything like that. Just leave her with a good lasting impression of you and things will start to fall in place after that. It's all about making her feel comfortable and at ease around you right now. Once that hurdle is cleared, then just gradually up the flirting until things become obvious and then smooth sailing GB.

OMG
Worst idea ever. I took it upon myself to haul a ladder over to your house and clean your gutters. If you actually do it, it's creepy and if you don't, you're a liar.
Don't listen to offdee. For some reason, he thinks he's the PUA of the FFA when in reality he couldn't be farther from that. Check out the AZ Ron thread for inspiration and see if Big Steel Thrill has any specific ideas for you to have ready when you actually do have a meaningful conversation.
Word around the neighborhood is that your hose isn't long enough.Gutter idea is good. I'd clean those gutters, for sure.
I have a backup extension hose.Word around the neighborhood is that your hose isn't long enough.

Just give him some material to have ready when they speak and leave the offdee bashing to me. TIAI dont know chet, some of that stuff is okay in 3rd paragraph (though it doesnt have any particulars on how to get there)... I thought the gutters was a bit of a joke/overstatement.
