TheCasual Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 So I met this girl on the train on the way back from a football(soccer) away game in Nottingham in early March. Me and my mate where drunk and had a good laugh with a few people on the train. Especially this one girl. We added each on Facebook and chatted each day. Me and my mate went to another football away match last Saturday and we agreed to meet her and friends in the pub before the match and a good laugh. She the game, we went to the pub until our train was due. We got our train home and sat next to each other. She kept resting my head on my shoulder and holding my hand and put her p number into my phone. She asked me if I liked her and I panicked and said no, she's too young(She's 20 and I'm 31). But I do have a crush on her. Although the age gap does worry me. She stopped texting me all last week. We got chatting again yesterday and this morning I asked her out for a drink. She messaged me and said maybe. Link to comment
smackie9 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 She's thinking you friend zoned her. Look dude what would you have thought if she said that to you? Ya that's right friend zoned. She's not going to waste her time....maybe means NO. And man, women like to be desired, but to get the brushed off like that is a total turn off. Now if you go chasing her she's going to think you just want to smash and that's it. She's face palming you with that maybe. If you want to make this work, you have to be dead honest with her. So stop goofing around and man up to her. Link to comment
ThatwasThen Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Well, it was immature of her to as you if you liked her. Certainly you "like" her if you asked her to join you at the pub. She said "maybe" in my opinion because she is just too young to tell you "no" and so now she's baiting your hook to see if you bite. She's 20 but even in her young age and immaturity, you're not much better in that department by saying "no" because you "panic" instead of just telling her you like her enough to ask her out but its too early to "like" you more then that right now." Keep the conversation going if you think she's worth it. If she doesn't respond enthusiastically then stop the contact and learn from this for next time you meet an attractive woman that is giving you the time of day. Link to comment

If I'd of been sober I'd of dealt with differently. She has hinted in previous messages. She has been hurt in the past. Link to comment

Then if she's not come to terms with that "hurt" then maybe she's not the best candidate to be pursuing in the first place? Maybe you ought to just let it fade. See if she contacts you. (??)

Andrina Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 If the age gap bothers you, then don't do something you're uncomfortable with. I know when I did OLD, I had rules about age limits which I tweaked a bit as I learned more things about myself and my wants. It's good to set rules, and to also be flexible if they need a bit of changing when you learn things from your experiences. Right now, you're being wishy washy and sending mixed messages--a person one should avoid. Link to comment
SherrySher Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Could the age difference be an issue? Absolutely. Age gap relationships of 5 years or more have a very low percentage in working out. The greater the age difference the smaller chance of it working out for long term. That being said, it's up to you whether you want to chance it or not. Are you hoping for long term or are you hoping for a fling? A fling might be something that would work, but long term, it is really dicey. At the end of the day, it's up to you whether you want to take the chance or not. But keep in mind that you are in different stages in your life and the older you get the more apparent this will become. Link to comment
TheCasual Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 I want to date her and she hows it goes. I don't think the age gap is as big problem with her as it might be with other girls. She's not really interested in partying or night clubs. She's quite tom boy and more interested in going football/soccer. Especially away trips. Link to comment

You sure like your drink, don't you? Lol I do enjoy a beer After sending it on Monday night, she finally 'read' it tonight at 7:30pm. It feels like wrecked another chance with a girl Link to comment
TheCasual Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 I've not really spoke to her in the last few weeks. But still like her. Thinking of just sending her a message and totally honest with. Link to comment

Although the age gap does worry me. You should make up your mind. Is this a trick question :) Seriously though, weigh the pros and cons and make a decision. Do it quick, as to not lead the lass on, even if unintentionally. You may have difficulty getting her interested again. She did a very courageous thing, and she's probably hurt by hit. I've often said, "you get one chance per woman per lifetime." Not an original quote but I don't know who to attribute it to. Link to comment

Wiseman2 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Did she ever get back to you on the drink invite? does she have your contact info? this morning I asked her out for a drink. She messaged me and said maybe. Link to comment

ThatwasThen Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 She said maybe I've not really spoken to her in the last few weeks. Then just forget about her. Anything further effort you put into her or any thoughts of her are futile. Link to comment
Sportster2005 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 She said maybe I've not really spoken to her in the last few weeks. Anything but yes, is a no. Sorry :( Link to comment
Oceane1990 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 CALL HER & speak to her, explain her why you told her no. Insist & fight for her until you get to speak to her. It was your fault to tell her you weren't interested! I wouldn't give up until you speak to her & after explaining things she'll tell you clearly she is not interested anymore. Link to comment
