Our friendship has been a great one so far. I think she’s an amazing person and so is her son. She’s a wonderful mother and a good friend. Just an all-around great person. I believe she thinks similar thoughts about me, too. We have conversations that last hours and I have a blast playing and interacting with her son. It is like a form of therapy for me since he demands attention, it requires me to focus on him instead of myself and my own problems for the time that I’m there with him. So far, I can say it has been a win-win for both of us. We both try to help each other out as much as we can. Maybe in time she’ll be open to a relationship.

Thank you all for responding and giving different perspectives on this.
