What to do

[CharlesF]

I recently moved to a small town from a big city and have to say that I don't care for it that much. It seems very quiet. So, I put my job application in at some other places. I would say there is about a 50% chance of me leaving in the middle of this year.

 

I met this girl at work recently. She seems pretty normal and is attractive. I don't know her that well, since I only talked to her a few times. One of my co-workers suggested that I ask her out.

 

My life seems so comical right now because I have a good job, but nothing else. I work hard, but have nothing to come home to. Somewhere out there a woman needs a good husband and a child needs a good father (she has a young daughter).

 

So here is the question. Should I ask her out for coffee and just get to know her a little? Perhaps the small-town lifestyle would not be so terrible if I had someone in my life. Perhaps she also doesn't like the small-town lifestyle and wants to get out as well.

 

On one hand, I hate to not at least go out with her. On the other hand, it may be a bad idea if one of these jobs comes through.

It's just a coffee. Ask her!

 

You might make a friend. You might learn a little about small towns and what they have to offer.

 

You might even find someone to date seriously, but one step at a time. See if she is interested and what she is about first.

Ask her out to dinner or something, but dont do it with any expectations.. Give it time to get to know her. Not every single mom is looking for a new step dad. Perhaps she would like a new friend though, maybe more...
