I am fairly new to the dating scene and would like some input.  I have a guy in mind that I am really interested in and we have just really started talking and finding out that we have more in common than we thought.  I just don't want to jump to conclusions and scare him off.

You will just know when the time is right. You will be able to feel it.\n\nBest of luck.

Well who do you like more.. which one are you more compatible with and which do you see as a boyfriend?  They are not clones of each other, there has to be one you have more in common with or like more.  Break it down, girl.

What's wrong with making it too obvious? You ask- have you ever been married? Have you been in many relationships? etc. etc. Getting to know someone is a part of dating and you're entitled to ask. You wouldn't want to be dating someone for 6 months and later find out they'd been married 5 times, would you?

Sleeper_grrl has the right attitude.  If you want a good relationship, then you should be able to talk with the guy.  If you can't talk to a man about what he feels, then he is not someone you want a long term relationship with.

I will take the first step to be social towards a man but I don't know about 'making a move'. I guess, if you call being the first to talk to him etc making a move then definately. My fella is very shy and he thinks I'm way above his league so he would never have made the first move to talk to me, thinking that I would straight out reject him. I could definately tell that he was interested so I made it easier for him. If I hadn't done that, we wouldn't be together so I'm glad I did.

Oh yeah!  Hey, a date is harmless.  It's a chance to get to know each other.  That's all.  It's not a marriage proposal.  The description you gave of yourself is very attractive to me but I'd still have to get to know you.  I've met some beautiful Barbie Doll looking women but once they opened their mouths I got turned off.  Either they were dumb or had bad attitudes and didn't respect people.  You sound like you'd be worth getting to know.  If you're in the San Francisco area, let me know!   -T

Before   you  get  involved  with  this  guy,  do  what  any  reasonable   person  would  do. Weigh   the  PROS  and   CONS of  getting  involved  with  him. This  guy is   supposed  to   make  you  happy  not  drown   you  in   worry so  do   what's  best  for  you .Liking  him  is   not  a  bad  thing  all  I'm  saying  is , don't  put  yourself  on  the  line because  of  this.

it sounds like you guys have a basis for a great relationship. It sounds like you guys genuinely enjoy each others company, so you know what I thinK? I think that yeah, follow your heart. Its obvious you are digging this guy and he is probably digging you so go for it!

just let the guy know how you feel.  in person dating is much better than on-line dating.  if the on-line guy freaks out you can always avoid him.

if you see a guy you like, strike up a conversation. i've been able to at least get one date using this method. if you are as you describe, then you got two advantages over me, 1. you're attractive and 2. as a woman it's so unusual that you are sure to have a good conversation that could lead to something more.\n\ngood luck.

Be careful, I've been in this situation and it didn't work out.  \n\nI think guys that do this aren't sure what they want, or they know that they really like you, but kind of want to store you for later, when they want a proper relationship.  Or they just like a bit of fun when they are out, but nothing else.  \n\nWhy do you keep waiting to meet by chance if he's texting you to meet up?  Why don't you meet up with him and see what happens.  Or say I'm busy, but we could arrange to meet up just the two of us on a different day.  You just don't know what will happen, unless you put yourself out there.

Well, it's something that cannot be answered just like that.  A woman just knows that a guy is for her or not for her.  It's instinct.  Hard to describe.  I would want to know if you're seeing someone or married.  That would be my first question if I met you in public.  You are good looking, BTW

if you are completely not interested you need to leave no wiggle room in your response, i am not saying be mean, i am saying be complete in your response.  Don't lie - you may not be interested in a relationship at this time but that gives the allussion that maybe later is ok - this keeps hope alive.

`Is the guy single?  Is he dating your friend?  If he is, would you want your best friend to stab you in the back?  If he is single then perhaps it may he may be fair game?  In any case, I would choose friendship over love.  Plenty of people out there in this world to date.

If you know that much about him, it's okay to ask him about those relationships...why did his marriage end...why did he not marry either of the long-term women? Does he think he'll ever marry again (or is he open to it) or does he think he'd prefer to not do that?\n\nThose questions are perfectly fine to ask someone you are getting to know, and considering dating...I frequently get asked "what are you looking for" by guys that find me online, and that question often comes VERY early in any chatting we do...they want to know if the person they are talking to is wanting a relationship or just some 'fun'...it makes perfect sense to see if you and the person that's caught your eye are on the same page, before bothering to see if there's potential for things to go anywhere...

You are just being allowed to date this year?  Dear lord...  welcome to the dating rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, highs and lows.  In this day and age, don't expect to settle down for at least a good decade or two.  I don't like anyone either right now.  Don't worry, the odds are that you will like many, many guys sometime between now and death.  So my advice would be to relax, and enjoy having your heart before someone comes and snatches it away.  I hated hearing this when i was younger, but it's true, there is plenty of time.

*Pondering a moment for I do not see the prob here* So ask the guy you are most interested in out. It is the Naughties (double zero decade you pervs so keep it clean) after all. Take the initiative and snag that guy...
