OK, so I meet this girl, talk for a couple hours a day, we go to dinner 2 weeks ago, have a lovely time. Last week I asked her to go to dinner again on Friday, she says yes, unless she has to work, as her schedule isn't set yet at her new job. Friday comes, I call, and she doesn't pick up the phone or call-back. I see her online late that night, she says she was really busy all day, forgot her cellphone at home...but to call her the next afternoon and she'd pick up. I figure I'd give it a shot, called her, and she didn't pick up or call back. I leave a semi-pissed voicemail. I hear back from her the next day, she leaves me a message saying that she's not completely over this guy from a month or two ago, and she's still dealing with that. Oddly, she still talks to me in the few days since she left that message..but I'm very cautious cause I don't want to wander into the friends zone too deep or at all if possible

NOW I do like this girl, she holds a good conversation, can party very hard on the weekends, and still handle her priorities and goals, and is responsible with her job. She actually knows what she's talking about with baseball which is a plus (hearing a girl talk about utility infielders in the proper sense is amazing, as is hearing her dissect why the Bronson Arroyo - Wiley Mo Pena trade was horrid).

My question then; Do I tell her that I really do like her now, and that when she's over this guy I'll be around, or do I completely dissapear and then pop back up in a month or so if I'm still single? I just wanted to have a fun time with her and see what developed, if anything...now I'm not sure what to do..


UPDATE: So i just decided to tell her that I enjoyed her company, but since she was still not over this other guy, to give me a call or an IM someday when she was. I said I couldnt' promise that I'd be interested in hanging out again, but that I could promise I'd listen, and that I wouldnt' make a big deal out of her comin back round.

Do whatever you feel like doing in that situation. If she senses any neediness, you are screwed.

Don't wait around for her. Waiting basically tells this girl that you have no other prospects, and no woman wants a guy that can't get anyone else. They like to feel as if they've "won" something by dating you. She's already told you she is hung up on someone else right now, so my advice would be to go out and meet some other girls, date around, and if the opportunity presents itself down the road, and you still feel like it, give it another go, but don't be the guy that's just always there.

i would stop contact with her now. believe me, if you ignore her at this point you will find that she *will* contact you if she is interested.

Disappear and pop up later. She blatently ignored you and you didn't get the hints.

She is playing games. Call her out on it. Tell her you are not interested. Find another girl and don't waste your time on her.

Do what you feel like you must. But I wouldnt disappear. Make yourself scarce if need be and dont call he often, but dont disappear. If she is still hanging on to this guy that left her, having another man abandon her will not help the situation.

telling a girl you rreally like them is usually the kiss of death....i'd avoid that.

just move on for now. contact her in a few weeks out of the blue.

That isn't the OPs problem. If he makes it his problem, he will end up the guy that she uses for support but nothing else.

Leave her another message: call me when you have things figured out, I have neither the time nor the energy to get jerked around.

Sounds like she only went out with you to try and make the other guy jealous, and it backfired. Move on and don't look back

She sounds like a flake. But what else is new?

I'm going to go with the ignore/move on response as well.

Sure tell her you like her, but don't say you'll wait for her. Rediculous! Unless you want to be walked on. It sounds like bs to me.

My vote: Tell her, then don't talk to her.

this chic is trouble. don't even worry about it. whatever you do don't tell her you like her, you will sound like a p*ssyboy especially after she "left" her phone at home "accidentally", come on. i call bullsh!t on her story. as many have said, there are so many fish in the see, don't put your tunnel vision goggles on now.

don't waste your time and go have fun and let this be what it was/is a couple dinner dates and mildly decent conversation.

the last thing you want to be is "that" guy she is busting on with her friends - "Accipiter22 says he likes me, hahaha" etc.
