I know a lot of guys like this. But they’re all one of the following: a. happily married b. gay or c. my dad’s age or older (at 30 I’m not really interested in guys older than 35 yet, but I’m aware it’s not always the case the other way around until there’s a bigger age gap). Since you’re no longer a and not b or c, she probably is aware that there is a possibility you could hit on her.
However, if you only said you suppose your wife is fine without elaborating, she might not realize you mean your divorced. You could just have meant your wife is cold and distant or you’ve been fighting. While it wouldn’t be wise to dwell on the breakup over dinner since that’d make you seem less than ready to have a new relationship, do make it crystal clear that you’ve divorced - just in case she has illusions that you still fall into catogory A above. If she looks pleased that you’re on the market again, it’s a good sign. If she just says “Oh” and looks uncomfortable…
I’ve already asked her out and we have a dinner date for next Friday. I’m just tying to elicit ideas so I can improve my chances for a next date without looking like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Good advice. I plan on telling her clearly that I’m divorced. I’ll make sure to study her expression when I tell her this news. Now, all I have to do is to make sure my eyes don’t look beady…
