Ok ladies, I'm needing your help on this one.

Ok, I know this girl, I have known her for about 5 years or so, but have not talked to her or seen her in that long of a time as well, She use to date my friend back in High School. Then recently I got a message from her and we talked about little things nothing major and so fourth. But as I come to think about it. From just getting to know her personality, I really think that I like this girl.

Now to the tougher part of this. I have a daughter who is 18 Months Old, and she has a daughter who is 14 Months old. Were both single (no cheating), I don't have baby mom drama and she does not have baby dad drama, so that is squared away.

I guess what I'm really looking for is. Well I have a tendency to come on a little strong. I've tried to tone it down, but having a military background, It's hard not to come on strong to things.

I am looking for any advice on how to come on to her, if that's what I want to say, without scaring her away from the "up front and to the point" tendencies that I have.

Thanks for all ya'lls help

I tend to be this way as well. So I know how it is. I would just be good friends and be honest with her. Be there for her. I'm not saying spill your heart out or anything. I think honesty is the best way to be. If you have a good friendship and you are there for her she will know how you feel about her. It will just come natural. If she was the one who sent you the message then chances are she likes you. She went out of the way to get in contact with you. Just take things slowly and don't rush it. You will know when the time is right to tell her how you truly feel. Just be a good friend to her and always be honest with her. Things will just fall into place.

I think that you should ask her out to coffee and maybe arrange a little play date with your kids, like a day at the park, something fun where you two can get to know each other and show her your softer side, rather then just coming on to her. I'm sure you know how she feels with the whole "having to raise your child all on your own" thing so you both understand. And again I see how much this guy must have hurt her in the past, I think she's scared to care that much about another guy. My advice to you is to take it slow and get to know her, make her feel comfortable with you but still give her hints that your interested in more.

Hope it all works out,
good luck with getting the girl <3

Maybe ask her if she would like to get together sometime (someplace where you can both bring your little ones? Like a play place or park, the zoo, a nature center, or someplace you can push the kids in strollers? ) and talk? Take it slow and I bet she will reciprocate.

It's understandable. My advice would be to just sit down with her alone and tell her how you feel. You will be able to get it all off your chest and girls LOVE when guys talk about how they feel about things. I wouldn't use the word "love" the first time, but just tell her that you're really interested in her and you've been thinking about her a lot. Who knows. Maybe she likes you too but doesn't want to tell you. You also both have two little girls. That's one thing in common. Ask yourself what else you have in common with her. What you like and dislike about her and go from there. You never know it could turn out to be a great relationship. But might not be anything if you hold back. Don't be disappointed if she says she's not interested. Maybe overtime she will come around. Hope I helped and good luck!

Question Asker Well. I think she dig's me. But I also think that she is kinda holding back because she doe's not want to get hurt again. Well It will be kinda hard to just sit down and talk with her, because like I said. We both got baby girls lol, and I'm moving back to my home town (which is where she is from), and I live an hour away and am Only able to make it back on the weekends right now. But thank god for the internet I guess. Thanks for the Advice. - 8 months ago

Just start talking to her

After a bit, ask her if what she thinks about going out with you sometime

But don't ask her out

Next time you see her, ask her out

If she says maybe - tell her to think about it

Then next time you see her, ask her out again
