I just started reading this forum and want some advice. First some background on me, I'm 31, muscular 6'2 235lbs, prior military, and I just finished my BS with a 3.9gpa. I tend to think that I'm better then most guys out there, like everyone I have some insecurities but I try not to let them show.
A few weeks back this woman sent me a wink on a dating website, shes 29, has a degree, good job, no kids, and is thin and athletic. She fits my criteria for a possible LTR so I respond back with some small talk. Over the next two weeks we e-mail back and forth once every couple of days, after which I ask her to meet up. We meet for dinner on Tuesday at a sports bar, we were there for about two hours, the conversation felt a little bit like a game of racquetball, but I was still interested. Before we leave she asks if I would like to see her again and I respond with some type of yes. After I leave I start to get that feeling as if she is a perfect 10 and I must have her. The last time I felt like that I was in my early 20s and I never expected to feel that again so it really caught me off guard. So from here on out my mind isn't working 100% clearly, LOL.
The next day I ask her if she would like to go out on Friday. (keep in mind I haven't been reading this site) On Friday we go out for some sushi, then play some pool and have a couple drinks. Again, the conversation was like a game of racquet ball and took some effort to keep going. After a few hours she says that she is tired and has to work tomorrow so she can't stay out much longer (I know she actually did have to work), so I tell her we should get going now. I walk her back to her car but I don't bother to make a move because it didn't feel right. (I can't remember going on a second date and not kissing) On the drive home I think to myself that I should just write this one off.
Over the next couple of days I can't get her out of my head. Monday I see something that pertains to her job in news and send her a short txt just to see what kind of response I get, I never get a response. Wed. evening, I call her planning to make some conversation and ask her to a sports game but I get her voice mail, I leave a message saying I wanted to talk, call me back. About a hour and a half later she calls me back, I was about to go to the gym so I didn't bother picking up the phone, she leave a VM saying call back. I was planning to call back this evening, have a short conversation, and ask if she wants to go to a NBA game next week. She's a big sports fan so it will keep her interested and since we would sit side by side it would be a good opportunity to get some physical contact.
I want to keep seeing her until I decide that I am not interested. I'm looking for some advice on the call back, third date, and anything else you can think of.
