Excuse me...they were her texts.Jesus, that text exchange was painful
Checking out now, reading about grown men 'chubbing up' reading another man's texts about hugging is enough for me
Good luck Nate
I assume so - that's as forward as NRJ gets.I missed it, was there praying?
I imagine it going like Miles kissing Maya for the first time in Sideways after he comes out of the bathroom.I can guarantee you she won't be thinking it's awkward when it happens. I am also confident in that.
Do they mess around before they split up?Its more like the horror movie when they split up and one goes into the basement and the other goes into the crypt.
cstu, pleasePlease don't tell me you kept your hands perfectly still during these hugs.
She's seen you right?Perhaps I don't want her thinking *I* am the slut. You MFers ever think of that??
yeah... that's in the new year, guy. let's not rush things.She's seen you right?
Don't think that's an issue.
HEY OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

You snapped her bra strap, didn't you?cstu, pleasePlease don't tell me you kept your hands perfectly still during these hugs.
not my first rodeo
She will be thinking you are gay if you keep this up. Been a fan, but she has given you some pretty obvious hints. You need to take a swing the next opportunity.Perhaps I don't want her thinking *I* am the slut. You MFers ever think of that??
Is she confused at your gender?Perhaps I don't want her thinking *I* am the slut. You MFers ever think of that??
I've been married quite a few years.Back when I was dating, I did date a couple of single Moms. The circumstances weren't exactly the same as this situation because I was single (never been married at that point in my life) and we weren't neighbors. But, the constant was, and I think it applies here, they wanted me to initiate things.
Because they were recently divorced ,or seperated and awaiting a divorce to be finalized in one case, they didn't want to be seen as sluts by moving things along in the level of intimacy. They would provide subtle hints, messages,etc. that I would have to correctly interpret and move things along physically. I think that's also the case here. She may consider herself still married or somewhat "attached" to her Ex, so she's shared the information with you and then expects you to proceed now that you have been fully informed of the situation.
In my experiences, I didn't meet the single Mom's children until we had established somewhat of a relationship. But, I think the tone of her messages are similar to what I dealt with. She wants to be subtle and have you set the pace of the intimacy.
The way you have a blatant disregard for sleeves...Perhaps I don't want her thinking *I* am the slut. You MFers ever think of that??
So no fartbox tongue punching?:hands out vomit bags in advance:
NRJ: I vote no on inappropriate. I'm a fan of hugs
M: K me too.
NRJ: ""
...random few messages over the span of 15 minutes or so...
M: so if you happen to "need something out of your truck" and feel like I a hug I will come hug you very quickly? Yes? Ok deal.
M: it's just a rare one time request, bc I especially need one.
NRJ (grinning like the ####### Cheshire cat): Haha yes. Deal. When?
M: Now? Just tell me
NRJ: OK. Yep.
My kids are still up, but making preparations for bed, but still milling around the house. My son is doing his nightly routine of shooting a few free throws on the Nerf hoop after brushing his teeth, so he's making all kinds of racket inside. I slip out onto the porch, and she's headed towards my house, through the yard. She says "heyyyy" and I meet her at the bottom of my steps. She grabs my shoulders and pulls me in, pressing her chest against mine tightly, and wrapping her arms around me. So I wrap mine around her as well and we just stand there for about 30 seconds, not saying a word, just soaking it in. About that time, my son shot a brick apparently and it bounced off the window/blinds, and scared the #### out of Marissa and I. We both jumped, thinking we were busted, then we started laughing. She quickly turned and tiptoed back to her yard, and I went back in and got the kids in bed, and they were none the wiser.
NRJ: Damn kids.
M: Lol. Good hug. Thank you.
NRJ: Agreed. And thank you.
M: anytime!
....mostly randomness, but I did work in a "that was not my best hug effort" and she insisted she liked it regardless...
M: Well I desperately needed a hug
NRJ: *nods* I thought so
M: You needed one too you just didn't know it![]()
NRJ: I think you may be right
....M explains why she needed a hug (I will not disclose why here), I say I understand and glad I was able to help her out...
M: Me too. You have to initiate the next one though.
NRJ: I pretty much initiated that one hours ago didn't I? ()
M: well sort of, but I came up with the plan to actually make it happen
NRJ: yes you did
NRJ: Perhaps, theoretically, say I left something ELSE in my truck and had to go get it in a little while?
M: LOL what is a little while?
NRJ: Any time between right now and when I (you) go to bed?
NRJ: I mean my schedule is pretty wide open from not to bedtime.
NRJ: Theoretically
M: How about right now?
NRJ:![]()
This time, I wait for her to come all the way to my porch. She greets me again, and she kind of slithered up next to me and slinked her arms around me and laid her head on my shoulder/neck area and just sighed a long deep breath. She seemed content. I was definitely content. On the offdee quivalent of a hugs scale, it was a 9.5. it definitely felt "right" and it definitely felt like more than a friendly hug.
Now, I'm sure I just opened myself up for some laughs and critique of my replies, but I posted the texts above just to give you an idea of her personality that I've gotten to know and probably haven't conveyed through my posts. She's very quick-witted and funny and gives me #### right back if I give her ####. I dig that in a chick. We have played very well off of each other thus far, I think.
She did offer that she hoped it wasn't too much and she is just very physically affectionate. I told her it was most definitely not too much. She says it's kind of a delicate situation, being as she lives right next door and she didn't want to make things awkward. I agreed and said there was no awkwardness from my point of view, with which she agreed. --so
basically she's on the same page I am, I feel. Just proceeding with extreme caution, which I am fine with. I'm being cautious as well. There's a lot at stake here for all involved.
There has been discussion of said hug this morning, and the analysis is good. Early prognosis is also good for future endeavors. No specific plans made just yet, but I'd expect that to be in the mix very soon.
I don't know where it'll end up, or how fast, but it's absolutely been a much-needed fun couple of weeks for me, so I look forward to what lies ahead. So I understand if anyone or everyone wants to tap out of this thread now, but I can guaran-### ####-tee you it's not a fishing trip. I appreciate the advice (well, most of it) and well-wishes, and the entertainment you SOBs have provided.![]()
As you were, men (and women).
Totally in character for me. I also like reading chaste YA novels while drinking my adult libations. I'm eccentric that way.Seriously, throngs of FFA folk in a 70 page thread that has weather, cheese, fashion, Talmudic Text Interpretation, and sex-crazed divorcees hugging it out in a driveway but no description of sexual romps in the shower or pics of yoga pants.
What's going on here!??!?
There is no such thing as a male slut. The term you're looking for is stud and it carries a completely different connotation even though the behavior is similar. Just ask AZ Ron.Perhaps I don't want her thinking *I* am the slut. You MFers ever think of that??
Even the yellow light at the beginning is telling him to "go slow, proceed with caution."NRJ getting ready for the big date

You don't talk about it, you just do it! Cmon.Ok, seriously:
You need to have either a text talk or an actual talk and tell her that you are interested. Not just "hug: interested, but seriously interested and want to know if you can safely move forward, even if it's at a slow pace. That, or you need to have another "hug" session tonight and stare into her eyes long enough so that she realizes that you are either there to kiss her or were possible released from a mental hospital in a prison and might use her feet to decorate your study. Either way, take that next step and THEN slow it down as needed.
Pretty sure the boner poking her showed interestOk, seriously:

I don't think he has to earnestly tell her he's interested after their two-hug affair. I mean, I have zero game but even I would take that as an "indicator of interest." Maybe ramp up the text flirtation a bit ("I was led to believe these hugs would be more ... inappropriate.").Ok, seriously:

Couldn't decide between that and "her name and address withheld upon request"
Now, Goofus... do you know how I know you're a sexist? you hugged her... you filthy, filthy boy."Dear Highlights Forum,
I'm a divorced father of two who hasn't seen much, um, action since my wife and I split. But then this beautiful woman moved in next door. We really hit it off. I never thought something like this could happen to me, but you won't believe what she did after we exchanged a few texts...
Signed,
Hugs & Cappuccinos"
This is what I meant, GB. That's the kind of text he needs to send, like NOW, so she knows he is looking to take that next step (or just take that next step). I didn't mean at all to send her a text saying "Hi, I am interested in you".Maybe ramp up the text flirtation a bit ("I was led to believe these hugs would be more ... inappropriate.").
See, last Friday was way too early, but now it might be crazy enough to work.Have you considered trying 'the naked man'?
So much depends on the casting of the distant husband. I'm thinking of a Ron Livingstone type.Long time listener, first time caller to this thread.
I am really enjoying the show so far. Season 1 was great and started off at a good pace, lots of character development and setup. But then word got out the show was good and more and more ppl started watching and commenting, more cheese and weather schtick was great. By the time Season 3 rolled around and the show went viral, expectations were too high for the new comers to the show. They wanted a faster pace, more action, bang bang bang. I hope the writers don't cave and stay true to the show, and the early fans.
My advice, change it up, don't get too predictable. For NFL opening weekend watch party show up in a Matt Ryan jersey and a matching Falcons hat. It'll throw her for a loop and lead to tension.
Good luck NRJ, I'm rooting for you! Everything about life I learned from Jersey Shore, so just make sure you GTL and Do You.
bromigo i know you do not want to hear it but that would be a totally awesome band name take that to the bankHere's what's going to happen: Tonight, at some point in the 4th quarter, send a text mentioning the deck hugs and let her know how much you enjoyed it. When she inevitably floats out that she'd be amenable to another, meet her on the deck, hug, and at some point (no more than 10 seconds into the hug) pull back a bit so that your face is in the kissing zone (maybe 3-4 inches from her face). You'll look into each other's eyes and you'll notice that she's not pulling away. What will happen then is you'll feel the magnets in your lips pull you closer to her lip magnets and our long national nightmare will finally be over. Tonight is the night. When you hear the Carrie Underwood NBC football theme song I want you to imagine that music is for you. Tonight is kickoff night for football, make it also the night you kickoff the relationship and friggin kiss the woman.
for over 2 hoors, she begs for a "hug", then another, yet all you have to show for it is likely a couple of sticky socks and some journal entries and kiddy texting like a high schooler. at some point you are going to have to actually ask her, you know, out on a date. maybe you prefer the company of men, there, I said it.
She knows.This is what I meant, GB. That's the kind of text he needs to send, like NOW, so she knows he is looking to take that next step (or just take that next step). I didn't mean at all to send her a text saying "Hi, I am interested in you".
