Relax. Breathe. And pursue if your heart tells you to.

If not, go back to your awesome life.

It's a NYC thing.

A lot of girls in NYC (especially transplants) seem to have this stigma about dating anyone outside of Manhattan and North Brooklyn. This might be the case here. The ones that are more open minded generally will say I'll date a guy as long as I don't have to get on a commuter railroad or express bus.

As long as she isn't one of these types, I would say try and see what happens. But unfortunately there are a lot of women here that are closed minded when it comes to distance sadly. I'm not one of them, but I know too many women who are.

Don't waste your time. She sounds unnecessarily complicated.

Either she likes you or she doesn't.

The fact that you live 30 minutes outside the city shouldn't be that big of a deal, but you do what you think is best.

From a woman's standpoint, if the same scenario was relayed to me from a man I was interested in, I would be like "Thanks, but no thanks. It's not that serious."

haha no i totally agree with you guys.. why turn down someone ur compatible or somewhat interested just because u'd have to take a train to see them? doesnt really make any sense especially since this girl hasnt dated anyone in a few years.

She said you were cute, you have a mutual friend, she gave you her number. What else do you need? A written invitation? As far as I am concerned, you have the go ahead for at least the dirty. She may not want a relationship and maybe she is just looking for a fling. Run with it...

That's very specific, are you sure central Brooklyn wouldn't cut it?

OP, you have her number and you've met her before. If you want to pursue her, it's in your hands now.

According to your co-worker, it sounds like she may not be into you - so if you decide to pursue her, you should change up your game a bit...

I think the game starts when you know what to do with a girl's number

Good luck!
