If you've never been out with her how can you be in love with her?

I mean, if you two already have a very close relationship, you should certainly ask her to spend some time with you. It might be the sort of break she would need because having a sick family member is very stressful.

I disagree with some here...I say don't wait for the timing to be perfect, because it never will be. Something or someone else will come along before you make your move & you'll be kicking yourself later.

True, I don't really believe in regrets.

Oh yes, I've been there, and it was awful. We were so very much in love, we wanted to spend our lives together, grow old together, soul-mates in eternity, but sadly we could only communicate through a time-traveling mailbox at my lake house.

So sad...

I'm kinda going thru that right now myself Shaka, but for you I'd say that you can at least be a friend, can't you? Offer to distract her, but don't have any needs yourself right now. My mother died 2 years ago and with someone I was attracted to I would have appreciated the invite, but alas the only man who asked me out at that time was someone I was most definitely not interested in and he was needy. Do you know where you stand with this woman? If I were her and I liked you a lot, I might not mind your being there for me and would even welcome it.

I guess to be honest I may like her in a love sense more than she does me. But then I like her a lot, and even if she says no, it's no issue there are others out there.

No, consideration is good. If you ask her out and she says it's a bad time then back off. But leave the decision up to her on if it's a bad time.

Yes, twice. It was torture. I've learned now to never get into that position again.
