Dear blkhwkdwn1:

She is in her early 40s- this means that she is in her 5th decade of life, and you are in your 4th decade of life. And your life circumstances are different: she has two adult children, a grandchild (one I think), and you have no children. You are a single man living with his father; she is a divorced woman, with a boyfriend living in a yurt.

Remember when she was putting on make up on that hike, for you to see? Maybe she was considering you as a boyfriend. Again, it may very well be that being in her 4th/ 5th decade of life, she doesn’t see a single man as a friend. She sees a single man as a boyfriend or a potential boyfriend.
