Hi guys,

I´m new to this forum, new to the game.

I´ve run into a situation I´ve got no experience with as it was usually the other way around. There´s a girl I meet almost daily because of my work, she´s very flirty, you can see her gently flirting with almost every guy around, for weeks I talked to her politely, she tried to flirt, but I did not really show much interest kind of intentionally, because I thought I´m soon gonna move from where I live, but eventually I´m staying a bit longer. Anyway, she was used to guys bringing her gifts almost daily, just to impress her, yet I did not buy her anything. Then after some time, she kind of ceased to flirt with everybody and I could see her devoting more time to me, even people around could see she liked me. She did not forget to mention she has a boyfriend, though and I respected it.

Anyway, couple days ago, she literally asked me out, we were talking about Valentine´s day before, which I know is in a month, then we met each other for a few seconds and she asked me verbatim: "so are we going out on Valentine´s day?" All I said was "okay, sure".

This is where I probably made a mistake, not being used to this instead of being "not so interested" I think I started to seem "much more interested", kind of looking at her more often, smiling at her when I saw her (not like in a weird way), etc. So we agreed to go out on Valentine´s day, which is too far away and I´d like to take her out much sooner. However, after we agreed to go out we did not see each other for a couple days. Then I met her this Monday, she was talking a bit about our "going out" like where she´d like to go, etc. We confirmed it.

I wanted to suggest we go out sooner than that this week, but when I met her the day after, she looked like she´s losing interest, usually being very chatty, she barely uttered a word, didn´t show many signs of interest she even looked like she completely forgot about our "date" (these are just my assumptions).

What makes it more complicated, she´s got a boyfriend, I´m not sure what´s the best way to handle the situation, I´m not sure if I can expect her to just leave the boyfriend if the date goes well, if that´s even an allright approach, the logistics are fuck*d up as well as I don´t have any private location to take her at the moment, we´re both in a new city, living with friends.

I also can´t read the situation properly in terms of her interest. I´m not very confident asking her out sooner if she looks like she´s not interested anymore.

Any hints and tips would be appreciated on how to play this thing (interested / not interested)? ask her out sooner even if she looks like there´s no interest on her side anymore? how do I even find out if she´s interested for sure?

Many thanks

1) the boyfriend is her problem, not yours.
2) her setting up a Vday date with you a month ahead of time is her hedge against whatever is going on with BF.
3) You are the "backup plan" see also "Branch swinging" .
4) If you cancel the VDay date you will see her make up all lovey dovey with BF for almost certain....

Man, you are being used and I hope you stand up for yourself.

If you have the cajones...I'd dare you to tell her that you reserve Valentines day for women you are having sex with. Then tell us what she says. No man should have a first date on VDay...unless the woman is paying...

Thank you for your answer and sorry for late reply, just wanted to allow the situation a bit of development.

So I decided not to wait and went to ask her to go out this weekend (probably a stupid move), but I just wanted to know to keep it or leave it. She said yes, I texted her later that day and she came up with shitload of excuses why she can´t and asked if I was serious with it. So this is my lesson.

The less comfortable part is I´ll keep meeting this woman almost everyday till late summer at least. I´ll tell her the part with the Vday if I get the chance.

I´m not much experienced with these situations and it kind of hurts for a while to be played with like this, honestly I am lucky to meet this type of women.

Thanks again bro for your advice. I´ll move on from here. I´m glad to have discovered this forum.
