(Linked from my daygame log.)

I'm walking around, and I spot her. She's got a nice tight black dress, curly black hair. Probably South American. I have to approach.

We're walking in the same direction, and she's in front of me, so I catch up, take out my phone, and start messing with it while I pass her. I then slow down, look around, and let her pass me. At that point I open:

'scuse me?
yeah?! (she sounds really pissed, but i don't really care)

I ask her about a famous coffee place in the area, and she, initially a bit closed off, gives me a couple options. I can feel she's warming up quite quickly to my presence, which is something that I noticed happening quite often with girls recently. Apparently the hard work that I put into this is finally paying off.

Anyway, she probably had a bad day, but now she opened up. We chat a little bit about her, and she asks me a few personal questions. She then tells me she was going to grab a coffee somewhere and suggests we have a chat. Great sign.

We proceed to the coffee place and sit down. She gets a latte macchiato. In the next 10 minutes or so we have a great chat, where we flirt quite a bit. I disqualify myself as a boyfriend candidate. She seems ok with that, and we talk about sex and the fact that, although it's a taboo topic, it's a human need. I rarely have such clean, no-bullshit convos, and part of the reason is probably that she's 42 and no longer wants to play too many games. Fine with me. However she's still a woman, and her emotional state might change dramatically overnight.

I then tell her I gotta bounce, and I seed a follow-up date. I grab her number and hug her goodbye. I get home 1 hour later. I go out again for the evening and I text her an icebreaker, to which she replies warmly.

The next day I text her again and propose two date options: A in my city (and she's my guest), B in her city (and I'm her guest). She tells me that that's a charming invitation, but she feels insecure about my disqualification as a boyfriend candidate. She's looking for something serious. I tell her that I'm only offering a drink and a chat, without any expectations. She texts me that she's not sure she should do it, and I tell her that I have no hidden bag of tricks and that if her decision is to let go, so be it.

She reads the text and doesn't reply. This was yesterday. I leave it at that for now. I'll text her again in 1-2 days.

What's the age difference between both of you?

I feel that she wants serious relationship based on her statement. Good keep persisting, it may work!

Update​

Yesterday she texted me that "everything is fine, keep walking and you'll find what you need".

Can't say I expected a different answer. She had strong cognitive dissonance when she got home after meeting me, because she liked me and things could have "just happened" from there on, but then I left her to her regular, everyday life.

At that point she would've had to take action if she wanted to meet me, but that would have meant to take responsibility for the risk. She had to resolve the dissonance somehow. Her chosen way was: "this guy is probably walking around and hitting on girls all the time anyway, so i would have been just a number to him".

Bad luck that I couldn't hang out with her there and then as I had a dinner out planned for the evening, but gotta remember this for next time. Gotta move faster!
