So, I met this woman...

She’s a friend of my best friends. She’s a single mom, a slender yet curvaceous Irish redhead with two strapping near-teenage sons who are easily the tallest people in the house when they visit. She lives near my friends, a long way out of the city, yet still easy to get to.

I met her and her sons just after Christmas. I’m not sure how my friends met her, but their house has become almost a second home for them. A few weeks ago, the sons and I helped mow my friends’ lawn.

I think she’s had a hard life, and there are upcoming medical things that I’m certain scare her. (I was at dinner at the last TronnaDope in February when I got a call from my friends saying that she was in the hospital and did I have an Ethernet hub for the computer they’d lent her?)

She hugs very well, flowing into my arms in a way that no-one else has for a long time. Last weekend she said that she could relax with me. She thinks I’m cute. And she said her sons like me.

I don’t know her very well, but I’d like to know more. What does she like? What’s her history? Her religion? Her dreams? There are vast realms she doesn’t know about me and I don’t know about her. And being thought cute! It’s such a change from being invisible…

Hurray!!! Love is grand.

Sounds like potential good times are ahead. Her kids like you. That’s a major barrier passed.

Good luck!

Good on ya, mate!

Just got out of a relationship that I’d hoped would be long term. Barely lasted long enough to be considered short term. I’m feeling a bit tattered, but I haven’t given up hope.

That’s some good news, buddy. Enjoy. Good luck (and keep us posted)!

Cute eh? Well, sounds like you’re out of the friend zone. Keep us informed :slight_smile:

Oh, man! Keeping my fingers crossed for ya.

Good luck, and have fun! And send some of those relationship-possibility vibes down my way if you’ve got some to spare.

Thanks, everyone!

Hmm, I don’t mean to discourage the OP unduly, but I thought “cute” was the kiss of death. OTOH the kids liking you is good. Good luck!

Good luck, Sunspace.

I had a first date with a girl last night. Things went well enough that if I had remembered to buy condoms, things would have gone very well. :smack:

The next day I found out that when my friend’s girlfriend’s friend found out that I was out on a date, she freaked out and got all jealous. So now I have two girls after me and I have to choose! This after being alone for over a year.

When it rains, it pours!

She’s lucky to have found the New and Improved Sunspace[sup]TM[/sup] before anyone else did !

Oooooh, Sunspace, that’s so COOL!

You’re one of my Dopecrushes, I hope this works great for both of you :slight_smile:

How good a salesman are you? You could push for a threesome.

:wink:

Good luck! I hope it works out for you. :slight_smile:

Great New Offer! Lose Two Girls For The Price Of One!

:rolleyes: You guys are pigs. Wait, that’s redundant. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sunspace – Yay, good news indeed! Hope all continues to go well for you and your new ladyfriend.

The trick is to let them both think it was their elegant solution to the problem.

You all know I’m kidding, right?

Yeah, if he’s an orgy-guy. That might involve a whole change in lifestyle!

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
If by kidding you mean that you secretly wish it would happen but know it won’t so therefore can’t bring it up - then Yes.
:wink:
