If a girl invites you to hers for a drink and a takeaway, is she interested?

Just to clarify I’ve already been, it did have a date feel but I’m unsure as to what it was

Sounds like a date! If she's interested there'll be a date no' 2. Have you arranged a second date?

It could be time to step up and take your chance to make it a date, that is if you wanted it to be a date that is.

Good luck

If you are being allowed near her child I would take that as a good sign. Be nice to her and respectful. Single mothers deserve to be treated properly with respect.

Shoot your shot man! It will give you the answer you want and you might end up turning it into something special

If you have too many dates without trying this you will likely end up in the friend zone.......i am assuming that you want more than that of course? Maybe you just want clarity......then definitely ask the question.

Super helpful i know. Thank me later

Tell her you’ll go for a walk but not with her child. Regardless if the fact you’ve known each other for ages. She shouldn’t be introducing people into her child’s life that may not be permanent. It’s a kid for fuck sake not a dog.

On your walk (depending on if her child can hear/understand) ask a question like "where would you like this to go?"

Depends on how you ask and what you ask. If you tell her you'd like to throw one up her then yes, it's likely to be weird. If you ask her how she'd feel about going on a date with you then it's likely to be far less weird.

Missin’ Yo’ Kissin’

Hair playin' & glasses off & on say a nervous thing to me. Not making her mind up quite. Perhaps she wants to impress?

I do that I just can't see close up now. Grrr. But got good distance vision. Could be just that!

Call her, arrange another one to share a meal together. Get her relaxed and then go for drinks after. Where it's a bit more intimate. Scooch up close to her on a sofa then ask her. What's the worst that can happen - you are friends?

We as men need to be better at reading the signals.

I get that this thread is taking a lighter hearted approach to men’s inadequacies at reading signals, sadly there are just too many cases where a misunderstood signal has led to unsavoury outcomes for the female involved.

Bottom line is unless you ask you never know where things are going and remember just because the other person hasn't asked they might be shy so be up front it takes away the edge and more time to enjoy each other

Don't take it as she fancies you. She may just like your company.

And if you've only just met her it's a bit weird to be out with her kids.

I haven't read the whole thing so I might have that bit wrong

Still ......if a bloke I didn't know asked me to go for a walk with his kid i'd run a mile.

Ahh under 1 they wouldn’t even remember anyway so that kind of walk is cool. Think a child needs to be 3 to be able to recall any kind of memory clearly.

I think women need to start making the first move if you want someone don't leave it up to him to make the first move especially nowadays men are terrified of making a move Incase it's completely unwarranted women need to learn men aren't women you need to tell them what you want

Isn’t it up to her who she chooses to meet when she’s with her (under the age of 1) child? She’s known the OP since childhood. Irrespective of whether it’s a date or not that seems long enough for her to make her own mind up….

You do need to ask, be direct, tell her your feelings but always give her an out…

‘I really like you and I would love to spend some more time together but I’m not sure where you stand on this? If it isn’t the right time or I’ve misread the situation then just be honest with me and we can just carry on being friends’

Something like that OP

A woman can have men friends the same as a female child can.

Go for the walk and treat her as you would any friend (and their child).

If she asks to keep seeing you, and you want to then she may have a romantic interest in you.

Personally, I wouldn't jump in with the is this going to be a relationship question just yet.

I like to let things develop naturally.

Up to you though, if you need to know what's going through her head.

Hooray! Hope you both have a great time.

For what it's worth I think you're going about things in exactly the right way. So many people are asking at the moment " how can men make women feel safe?" and here you are totally respecting a woman, not pushing her and taking things slowly.

It’s just a bug bear of mine. Stupid women who let any new guy they meet have access to their children. When you’ve worked in the prison service and have seen first hand the amount of men in prison for crimes against children and you read how some of the mothers let guys they’ve basically just met bath their children and shit like that it makes you over sensitive to stuff like this. This is nothing to do with the OP either it’s just something that annoys me in general.

You both make the terms and qualities of the relationship. If you're resumong it, it's probably better to establish the new terms earlier. Some people prefer certainty but aren't great at expressing their romantic or sexual interests, so they are better matched with someone who can complement their deficits. Actions and words can help to make things easier and clearer.
