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

Yeah, how did you end it? Kiss? Hug?

What's your goal here? A steady relationship that could lead to marriage or hooking up with a cute girl?
Not in front of 4 kids. We just walked them back around to their yard/driveway and said goodnight. 

I'm not sure the goal, just yet. That remains to be seen. As for now? I don't know enough about her to know if it could be a possible relationship thing, so that's what this is all about. While I do like a good plan, I'm also very go-with-the-flow, so I'm ok with just taking things as they come. No pressure that way. And if it doesn't work out, then I guess it wasn't meant to be. But I know it has made me happy and somewhat excited these past couple of weeks, so I'm thankful for that. We'll see where it goes from here.

You're doing just fine. Ignore the 3 pump chumpers out here hoping for a quick score.

BTW, if this *just* happens to lead to marriage, are you an architect?

 
Also, yesterday afternoon on TV, A Few Good Men was on, immediately followed by Jerry Maguire. :lol:  Surely that was a sign of the FFA's collective power of positive thinking. :thumbup:  

 
For starters man the matching Saints hat and shirt is a doofus look for anything other than actually going to the game.
For all that NOLA is, the style mecca of the world it is not.  You can wear ANYTHING there at any time at any place and no one will think twice about it.  So while in most any other part of the country, that would hold true, his attire for yesterday is a complete non-issue even for someone trying to woo a neighbor. 

I'm curious, is she from the area or elsewhere?

I'm in Northern LA, but all of LA is Saints country.  She's not from this immediate area, but has basically been here since college, as have I. 

 
@CurlyNight

or any other woman, for that matter...

What are the odds that she's written him off romantically from day one because they're neighbors?  We've already discussed from the guy's perspective that it's not wise to eat where you ####, but is there a high likelihood she's looking at it from the same prism?

ETA - especially with kids involved.  It's one thing to take a chance on the guy next door and if things fall apart, just try to avoid him.  It's a whole other when each other's kids have become close play buddies.  I imagine women are a little more risk averse in this regard.

Sounds like it went well but I agree with others on the nfl t-shirt-cap ensemble. Sends out the wrong vibe.
Look, some places of the country have different standards of dress for casual occasions. If I go to visit my in-laws in Columbus, I can't swing the proverbial dead cat without hitting someone in OSU gear. It's how they roll 24/7/365. Scarlet and gray are part of everyone's wardrobe there; shirts, ties, hats, shorts, panties, whatever. Similarly, if I were to trek to NRJ's hood, I'm going to see tons of Saints and/or LSU gear. It's how they roll.

Basically, since he's got a potential outing with Marissa again today, I going to say you're wrong on this one, GB. No offense.

 
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)

:coffee:

I'm sure tons of people wear that outfit but this was an informal first date, at least to him. Everything depends on her options so it doesn't really matter i guess.

 
You played it just fine. Just make sure today you come with a non-logo bearing shirt and some nice shorts.

As far as the guys in here thinking the slow play is wrong, just remember she is your neighbor and there are all kinds of things that can wrong here. If they do, this isn't like getting shot down at a bar where you walk away and never see that person again. This is a person you will encounter maybe daily.

She could have just come out of a terrible relationship and is looking for a nice guy to date. You go too far too fast, she lumps you in with the past guy and you have lost your chance.

She could be bat#### crazy or have other psychological issues---which in an alternate living situation, isn't a bad thing because crazy women tend to be fun in the sack. You go too fast and she accepts. You are now knee deep in with a crazy woman, who just happens to live next door and is looking for you watch her kids, loan her money and bathe her rat dog. How are you going to break that one off?? Move or....move.

She could be a terrible person. Everyone puts on a good front when they meet someone, but she could suck as a person and a parent. Aren't you at least curious why her kids want to hang at your place so quickly?  So it might be good to take it slow and see if what you are seeing now is the real her.

I think the plan to see if she wants to do lunch (sans kids) will be very dispositive and show that you are interested in taking the next step and will give you the answers you need.

Whoa.  That is a big move, soldier.  Glad it was well received.  Feeling much better about your prospects.

This hard-charger loves your actions today. It is time to turn it up a notch. 

 
I don't like this following up a date with the kids with another date with the kids.
Does seem a bit needy and I probably wouldnt have texted her this morning either.

As far as the NFL apparel goes, in a normal setting a Saints t-shirt is okay, a saints hat is okay, just never ever ever wear them together.  But still if this was a pseudo date/cookout I would have dialed it up just a tad and gone with a nice shirt and no hat.

Had already said we'd touch base today to see about today's plans. I didn't expect her to text me first, come on, man. 

:lol:  it's not like I was wearing a jersey and visor and cleats! Retro style t-shirt and a hat that didn't clash. If your hats clash, perhaps YOU need to check your :style: :coffee:

Seems like something you'd write to your wife/gf, but the neighbor you haven't even kissed yet.  Suppose if she already decided to bang you it doesn't matter.

In her eyes you may as well have been.

In my experience, there is nothing wrong with letting a woman know you think she's beautiful, regardless of how the end-game may turn out. :shrug:  It can only help, if things are to progress beyond a friendship.

It's a BBQ at your house so the attire was reasonable.  Hope you leave the Saints gear in your closet now.

He could always text, "Hey, me and the kids will be in the back yard burning the Saints ensemble I wore yesterday.  You and the girls are welcome to join us."

 
I say, if it happens organically, great.  If friend-zoned, that's ok too.  Hot chicks have hot chick friends, and therefore, friend-zoned isn't a bad outcome.

Slow play, make sure this is a good idea, is the way to go.  It's not about getting your willy wet.

 
nope, that came up in last night's conversation

STOP OVERTHINKING THIS, YOU GUYS!
I forgot to add to my list of things that can go wrong;

Her ex could be an MS13 gang member who she turned States evidence against and she is now in the witness protection program fearing for her life, but due to a mole inside the FBI, he knows her location and is coming to kill her.

Oh wait, that was a plot of Steven Seagal movie. The kindly male neighbor was killed in an extremely horrific manner if I remember correctly.

 
How many times do you think she pleasured herself to you last night?  Follow up question, do you think she used the tickle or insertion method?

Good use of a dead cat, I would think

Wait, its not?

So what are we talking about here then?
