What is my next Step Involving a Neighbour?

[Sunrising]

I'm friendly with a female neighbour Julie, not her real name, and we say a little more than hello to each other.

Recently we've had a common interest regarding our homes, and have been texting each other, but the neighbour wanted to talk. I suggest going for a coffee after work, she agreed then cancelled.

Our coffee became a day out, and it was left for me to decide where to go. I decided a drive into the country, and a place Julie hadn't been to previously with Art Galleries and Botanical Gardens, lots of interesting places to go, and we went for a coffee there.

We then had a drive with beautiful scenery and had our dinner at a popular restaurant.

We had a lovely 6 hours together and we've decided to meet again playing a new common interest table tennis.

What do you think we should do next after our next meeting?

The reason I ask is because I've been too busy with jobs, hobbies etc. I've never been in this situation for years, and previous to this my experience is very limited.

What would you do?

My neighbour Julie and myself met up to play the planned table tennis match, and we had a fun time together, everything went well and we're arranging a rematch. I'm also thinking of taking Julie to see some of the interesting local visitor attractions, because Julie has only just moved into the area. Do you think this is a good idea, what is your opinion?

Julie has been on vacation abroad for two weeks, but she turned down a drive to a restaurant before leaving. It's now been over a week, and a previously arranged night out has been cancelled. I've suggested another day outing, and Julie is now enthusiastic about the visit.
What do you think I should do next? Do you think Julie will again cancel? Is it theend of the road for our relationship?

By the time you get to a third date, it is safe to assume that your partner has an interest in becoming more familiar with you. Your first date was unusually long but, fortunately, it worked well for you.

Do you live near an ocean or inland beach such as a lake or river? You could have a day at the beach with a picnic. Is there a zoo through which you could stroll hand in hand? Perhaps you could grill steaks together. The main idea is to spend time together in circumstances in which you will have more conversation. Concerts and movies may be fun but you can't really talk for an extended time at those events.

Response to updates: sounds like you might be her backup plan.

Get to know her to see if it's a good combination, get to know the full her.

As a relationship coach, I'm all about navigating these exciting beats! Your connection with "Julie" sounds like it's building a delightful rhythm. After that lively day out and table tennis adventure, keep the vibe going with something spontaneous to surprise her. A quirky cooking class or exploring a new hobby together could be a blast! 😄 Keeping communication open and lighthearted ensures the path stays clear of red flags. Enjoy the journey and keep things fun and flirty, but ensure you're both on the same page about what you want. 💘 Play it cool, and see if this cute connection blooms! 🌟
