There has been this woman that I seem to run into quite often. Our schedule has us dropping and picking up our children at daycare pretty much the same time so I have talked to her on an occasion but she has a ring on so I figured she is married. I have ran into her at the store and it was a fluke that I was even there. Well today I ran into her at church. She is nice and I enjoy talking to her but I keep it short and simple because I don't want her to think I am flirting. She was not at church with her husband, because she does not have one. "I asked." She says she wears the ring to deter persuers. So what does that mean for me? Should I ask her out or is she telling me that she is not interested? ------------------ |

If I were wearing a ring on my left hand for the sole purpose of deterring suitors, if I was not interested in you, I would say yes I'm married when you asked. By telling you the reason she wears the ring, I think she is interested in you or at least in talking with you. On the other hand, I could be completely wrong about this because I have determined over the last year that I know absolutely nothing about the signs of attraction between men and women. Just call me the Dateless Wonder. [This message has been edited by jwg (edited 10-28-2007).] |

Thanks jwg... I was thinking along the same lines. She did say she was not married when she could of said otherwise, however we were at church and there could be the sin issue  Really I have nothing to lose. If I ask her out or try to get to know her better and it doesn't work, oh well, atleast I tried and won't sit around wondering what could of been. You did get a good chuckle out of me, I love the "Dateless Wonder" bit. Hey, I would imagine that could be a pretty big club if you ran with it. I have resorted to reading surveys and stats on what women like only to go ask them if it is true. Sometimes it is and sometimes not. As you can see I have no date for a reason. ------------------ |

By telling you that she wears the ring as a deterant - she definatly wanted you to know she was available for dating, even if that may be not now, but sometime in the future. Keep things simple for now, spark conversation at drop off, maybe invite her to join you for a quick cup of coffee or tea after church, if you keep initiating these simple conversations you will know soon enough if she is available to you or not. Remember good things come to those who wait. |

It is funny how things work. Before I started talking to this young lady I would constanly run into her. After I found out she was available, or at least not married, I can't seem to catch a break. Finally, when I did I completely chickened out. Sometimes I wish I were 20 again when I would of had the courage to say something. Being out of the dating scene for years makes me nervous and insecure. ARG!!! ------------------ |

she would be lying if she told me she was married and really wasn't. I was just playing around. However, today at church I did bump into AGAIN... she touched my arm. ------------------ |

Hi everyone, I am new here, but have to add my two cents. Yes fellows, if she admitted to being single and why she wears the ring... she's interested. I too have done the same thing. Now, I don't even wear a ring. There apparently are fewer and fewer available men out there. |
