MEN's Portal / How to Ask Women Out / Signs of romantic interest /
I've recently been spending a lot of time with a woman from my work, who's separated from her husband. I don't know if we're just talking, or if I can assume she is expecting more from this, perhaps evolve into a relationship. The fact that there is a large age difference is also an issue.
I am completely comfortable with her, but can still go out and have a good time. She understands that I do have my own life outside of her.
I'm sure the attention you are getting is very flattering. What concerns me is her marital status, and the reason is that personally, I do not advocate dating separated women to a single man.
The reason is simple: they can go back to their ex partners at any time. My point is, if the ink is not dry on divorce papers, then she is married.
Enjoy the attention she gives you, but by no means would I question her about relationship. How many times did you meet someone, begin dating, and then have that person end the relationship, because of that fear you might want to go back?
It is sad for someone to get hurt when that other person goes back to their spouse. Most of the relationships that men start with newly separated women ended badly and left them feeling used, with a lot of other negative stuff thrown in there.
Bottom line: Why would someone who has no vested interest in a person already knowingly jump into a situation where they will probably have to deal with the emotional pain that person is feeling for the loss of a previous relationship?
That's a tough thing to do. Knowing your own limitations, knowing your strengths and weaknesses, knowing what you want out for your life and not being willing to ignore all of that for just a possibility is not equivalent to being cold.
