I don't want to argue with you gordy. You are on the wrong path and arguing with you about it will only push you further down it. Love has nothing to do with playing hard to get. You are a technician of cunning, not love. Think about it my friend. And don't assume you have more experience than me.

Where is the picture???? Can someone link it?

Anyways, I like moonbeam's comments and he/she is exactly right. You sound like you have regretted it...and if you dont pursue it, you will regret again. It is better to lost than never to have.

There was a girl I used to like but never pursued under the circumstances...and now she is married. I am not too obsessed over it but I definitely regret it.

why, are you threatening me?

duh, the guy is wanting to "set the hook"...

to some that might be a compliment, but not here, my wife would disagree;
if that's directed at my story, i do get some satisfaction snubbing women if they think they are the bomb, particularly when they come on to me - i'm married after all.. and yes i do wear my ring (as per topic a few days ago)...

before getting completely derailed,

@sadb0i, do give her time, particularly if the ex ended the marriage, she could be hurting and you don't want to be a rebound; however if she ended it you don't want to look like the reason...

good point gordy, adding more complexity into my dilemma. :) I never though that maybe others would think I was the reason. I knew ATOT would always pull through with all angles.

speak now or forever hold your peace! there is no such thing as "saving face" when it comes to relationships. i can understand your hesitation, but don't go all grand-scale schematic looking for ways to tell her your feelings. just do it.

Just start chatting it up with her and take it easy. Don't know what kind of "healing" she needs from her divorce. But should be easy to tell if what she needs is a quick'n'dirty romp with someone else, or some time flyin' solo. In the latter case, a good friend (ie: YOU) will help a great deal. During that time, you'll end up getting to know her on a whole different level. Which in turn could be good or bad, but sticking with the theme here, consider it good. Then once she comes around and is ready, the to of you will be ready for pure bliss with eachother. Then comes the bare feet, 4 kids (2 yours), single wide (how big is her band?), etc etc.

Cliff notes: Give it time before you blow your load about how you feel about her.

Tell her that you have had a crush on her from way back, leave the l-word out of it until you have spent alot more time with her.

tell her how you feel but be very clear that you are not putting any pressure on her, you just wanted her to know. that way she at least knows, because it is way too early to go after her (do you wanna be the rebound guy?)

i think you're just suffering from infatuation though. you say you love her after a few phone conversations? please

Her younger sister told me that her husband treated her badly. I really can't say abused, but neglected her and just didnt really respect her. He would make monetary decisions without consulting with her and then getting them in financial problems all the time. One time getting into I think as much as 7k. She just got tired of putting up with it and left him.

I think you should atleast get to know her better before calling all these feelings you have for her. Frankly, you don't know much about this girl. Best advice? befriend with her and see if that gets you anywhere. Jumpin right in and saying you're in love with her is the worst you could do. Take the long path and you shall see.

I might have to reword what I wrote. It's more than a few phone calls, I assure you that.

Really, I'd venture to say that with 13 wives I have more marriage time than you've been alive, or something like that.

Get off your butt, or you will be sadbOi, you don't have to grovel at her feet with need, just make sure she knows you care.

Don't worry Gordy, I'll back you. If you turn on your profile I'll give you a 10. You had some really good posts in this thread.

I feel like I'm obsessing, but it's as though I've been given a second chance. Have you ever met that girl who you felt deep down is the one? I just can't let this time pass me by.

Ask her out for a date because you have two choices. One, ask her out for a date or two, wait again until she moves on and finds someone else.
