Long story short I got involved with her shortly after my wife passed away. I was not ready for a relationship. We had our ups and downs but lots of good times. We took a break got back then later down road I ended it. I was still not ready..

Occasionally something make me think of her so I would email her. Never got responses.

Last week out of the blue she contacts me. We have gone out for coffee or drinks 3 times in a week. We have a great time together and have a ton in common. Were going out for the whole day monday.

I am just wondering if this is a good idea. Is she wanting a friend? More?

I am now at place in my life were I feel I could actually be in a relationships.

Anyone have advice?

How could we possibly know?

See where it goes. Relax. Nothing's really happened yet. But take it slow.

Chill out mister. I would guess she wants a relationship as well. But just take it one step at a time. Let things fall into place naturally. If you get along with her and she gets along with you, you're one step towards something good.

She probably wants to get back together. Are you wanting the same?

All the pieces appear to be falling in to place. What's there to say?

[just do it]

Ya know, in the past there were a couple ex girlfriends that would pop up when things weren't going their way in an other relationship. Be careful not to become a crutch to help her get over the hump. Tread lightly.

Thanks for the advise. When we talked she wasnt in a relationship or hasnt been for a while. She told me about it. I dont think she would be using me as a crutch.

I would like to be with her and kinda get feeling she does but not rush like last time.

Ill take it slow and see what happens if it doesnt work out nothing really lost. If it does then hey!

Thx

Why not just ask her? I would say "it's been great seeing you again, but I'm not quite sure if we're on the same page with what we're looking for. I would like to see you as more than a friend, how about you?" Or you could also try holding her hand on Monday and see how she reacts.
