More Fun at the Grocery Store
I stopped by for a Starbucks coffee at the local grocery store. Linda was there this time, so I stopped by the front desk to say hello and assess my chances of getting another date with her. I haven't seen her for about 4 weeks now, so perhaps she'd taken the time to think things through. That was wishful thinking on my part, but one never knows.
She explained that she had been on vacation with her husband in Branson, MO and had spent last weekend visiting her son at ISU. Her conversation was friendly and her mood light. She talked and acted like a typical married woman. What I can't figure out is why she agreed to meet me for a drink in the first place. Was she thinking that she was just meeting a new-found friend for drinks? The fact that she wanted to meet me while her hubby was out of town gives me the impression that it was more than just a meeting between friends. Perhaps she was giving me a test to see if she was interested in taking things further, but I flunked the test. Or she had a change of heart after being confronted with the reality that taking things further meant we would eventually end up naked. I wanted to explore these things with her, but that's hard to do when you're talking to someone in their workplace.
I'm not certain if Linda likes the idea of me being persistent in my pursuit of her. Actually, I haven't been that persistent. I'm not calling her on the phone every day. The only number I have is her work number. I don't have her email. I stop by to see her when I'm in the store and half of the time she's not around when I stop in.
Here's my plan. Next time I see her I'm going to turn the tables on her a bit and say with a smile, "OK, Linda, I've reconsidered your offer and I'll meet you again for a drink, but only under one condition; that you keep your hands to yourself....and no kissing." (Recall, she's the one who didn't want me to touch her or give me a kiss) I don't give this a high probability for success, but she's worth one more shot. If she says no, then that's it. I'm cutting my losses and moving on to Miss Next.

Mature women view things way different than you think. I suspect that she was just making herself available to you for friendship the first time and wanted to make that clear. It may be because she suspects her husband of cheating and is creating her options (lived through this before too) or it may be that she was looking for a male friend....women love to be with people who compliment them and make them feel desirable....this is why men can hang with men and women can too....A fact that you must know is that any woman of reasonable looks is approached at least once and usually more every single day of their life by men that want a shot...its a fact. They usually choose you, not the other way around...
I think you ought to just play the friend aspect and keep on doing your other indulgences....I wouldn't reference the past comments at all...I would just play along with the friend thing. Women like to feel secure in what they do, especially if married (I have been the "other man" probably 5 times, so I speak from experience).
