Guys, Has a woman who you’ve only met a couple times ever asked you for a favor?

[FruDawg1]

A woman who I’m kinda into texted me asking me to write a review for her business. I’ve never been in her store before

[wtf636]

Yeah man. Welcome to being single in your 30s. lol. There are ladies like this out there. Same type to go out with dudes just for a free meal.

She doesn't like you, she just needs reviews for her business, she knows you like her, and is using that to get you to write a good review. Simple as that. Do it if you want, who cares. It's just a review, at least she's not asking for money. But I would be cautious if anything occurs from this, which I doubt it will.

There is a small chance she could be using it as a way to talk to you and get your attention, but if you are asking the question I'm leaning more towards the first option.

I will say. If I was in this situation, and it was a woman I liked and wanted to go out with. I would try and play it off as a way to get her out on a date.

Something playful like " Sure, I can do that if I can take you out for drinks this weekend" Be direct, don't act like you are doing it out of the kindness of your heart. Make clear it's a date, you like her, and it's not a friend thing. Carry that assertiveness over to the date, and you can have good success with women.

But be sure to nail down a specific date too, none of this sometime or whenever bullshit. She can just play that off forever, never actually meeting you. If she isn't willing to set a date, she is not interested, move on, just don't reply to her, and I wouldn't write the review. She may not like you, but she will respect you and that's better than not liking you and thinking you are a pushover on top of that.

If she reaches out after that, follow the same rules, you can invite her out, but unless you get a date set, just ignore her. Don't be mean, don't be rude, just act like you don't have time to be dealing with this stupid shit. And look for someone who does want to see you.

Finally, if you do go out, and manage to keep going out, make sure she is reciprocating in some way, offering to pay, cooking for you, buying you a gift. Women do this stuff for men they actually like, not just some guy they are just passing the time with. If she expects you to do everything move on, and repeat until you find one that does.

Yeah, she’s a 35 year old divorced single mom and former model/actress. She actually asked me if I was single and interested in anyone the last time I saw her in person

[wtf636]

Eh, I would run, far and fast. I don't deal with single moms for a variety of reasons, but that's just me and most men. lol.

If you do pursue it, make sure she is not just using you. Sounds like a classic case of the hot chick having her fun with shitty dudes, then realizes she isn't as hot at 35 and now wants a sucker to take care of her kids.

[FruDawg1]

Well, I did tell her that I was interested in someone else. The other woman is in her late 20s

[wtf636]

Yeah, I mean I was being a dick in that first post. If you like her, and you think she has a good head on her shoulders then I wouldn't count it out. But you need to be honest with yourself about what you want. Even if it sounds harsh. A couple of things.

- What is the baby daddy situation? Co-parenting? Is he an asshole? Not around? Still in love with her or her him? That could be a whole situation you don't want to deal with.

- Why did she leave him? Who was this guy? Why did she marry a piece of shit to begin with? Did she leave for a stupid reason? Did she cheat? In my eyes someone leaving a commitment they made is a big deal if not for a good reason. All of these can be indicators of how she will act with you.

- Do you want kids? How many? Chances are at 35 she only has about 1/2 max left in her. And 2 is stretching it, she could also not want to have more.

- Even if you don't want kids, she comes with some already. Are you ready to be a step dad? Pay for things for kids that aren't yours? Take them to practice? Etc. Do you have the money to support a family of whoever many? Former model/actress doesn't necessarily sounds like she has a lot of money for her own kids. Is the BD supporting them? If she remarries that falls on the new husband.

- If all goes well, and you like her kids, then things end. You will also be breaking up with those children as well. That is just another layer of emotional risk involved.

Now, who knows. Maybe none of that is an issue. But it for sure could be. And most likely there is one of the issues I have listed above. Just make sure you consider all of this before you get serious with her, if that happens. If you're just looking for a good time, then just make sure to wrap it up.

I personally would look for a slightly younger woman within 7-8 years of you, that is ready to settle down. And have a family that is both your own. But that's just my opinion.

[FruDawg1]

There is a woman I like who is about 4 years younger than me

[Slartybartfast]

All the time, I got used a lot by women when I was younger. They smile, flirt, string you along sucking you dry, leading you on you give more and more and feel less and less till you can't make your bills, your job suffers , your self esteem is ruined and your confidence crushed.

Then she meets a player with three STDs four kids he doesn't know and five tinder accounts then goes to bed with him immediately after asking you to move her couch upstairs.

Tell her that you can’t write an honest review since you’ve never been there. If this happened to me, I wouldn’t be into her after that. I would feel that she was just being friendly to further her business.
