Here is my situation and hopefully you can give me some advice. I was introduced to this female teacher by a friend of mine at a network mixer. Well we briefly talked at the mixer and kept it in a friendly manner. I asked my friend the next day if I can get her email so I can keep in contact with her. To cut it short , I ended up getting in contact with her and we went out.

Well our first date was great and everything. She even text me the next morning after our first date and said that she had a great time and will like to go out again. Well after that day, she left to Florida for vacation (1 week) to visit her family and I didn't hear from her when she got back into town. So since she showed some interest in me, I called her and we talked some more. We have gone out about 4 times since our first date but there hasn't been any physical affection

Another thing is that she doesn't call me at all but will text me once in a while to see how I was doing. To me, it shows that she is not interested in a "love" relationship and I am fine with it. But then last night, I was talking to her that I had taken a trip to San Antonio last month. She was like "I love San Antonio!!!" "How about WE go for the weekend to San Antonio?" Why would she invite me to weekend trip by ourselves to another city, if we don't know each other at that level nor she shows love interest?

She's waiting for you to step up your game. Take the initiative and go for it.

Well I have been taking initiative by calling her and inviting her out on dates. What else am I suppose to do to show that I am interested? I mean, I would think she will call me once in a while.

Another thing is that she is 32/33 and I am 29. Not sure, if this is a factor...

So kiss her already. She's playing it safe and waiting for you to make the move.

Exactly -- she likes you and is waiting for you to make a move. Do it.

That's hardly any age difference -- I doubt it's a factor. Maybe she gets so caught up in things with her life that she doesn't have much time for personal stuff.

As a teacher, I can tell you that's how I was -- and my teacher friends all said the same thing. We had to be at school by 7:30 a.m., were on duty until 4:30 p.m.. We often had staff meetings and parent conferences after school and some of us tutored. THEN, we had to go home and grade papers, do lesson plans, etc. During the school year, there really isn't much free time and you're too exhausted for a regular social life.

This is probably the case with her.

Yeah, and maybe she's one of those women who doesn't believe in calling men.

Really Ellie? Why won't you call a guy if they guy has showed interest already in you.

I am over here thinking if a girl does not call me after I've taken initiative, that it means she is not interested.

Because everytime I see her, i give her a hug and it feels real rushed!!!

Especially after our dates, it seems that she is kind of in a hurry to take off...
