Was lunch. Had exchanged phone numbers. I had asked that if we could ethically date given our professions, would she be interested. I don’t do the dinner thing. People sometimes have additional concerns/expectations in that scenario.

I had been asking about what she looked for in people, etc. Dhe had referenced liking museums and I had suggested a Canadian city about 180 miles North of here. She expressed in making a weekend trip up there with me.

When asked about dating, she said that she had just gotten out of a relationship and needed time.

Since then have had a bunch of mixed messages. She will avoid me at times and then ask questions. She showed up in my office one day in an amazing blouse and thigh-length skirt combo and striking poses while we were talking. It was absolutely to die for. The next day cold as ice. Later she was all chatty, interactive, etc. while wearing a black and white thin strap low neck-line body conforming dress. Next day cold as ice. Back and forth and back and forth stuff.

Like I said, just don’t get people.

Working my way through the learned optimism book. Experimenting with meeting people. At least I got to two lunches with the on/off gal, so far have been stood up by the most recent gal I asked to lunch.
