Help me with a non-relationship that just ended, or didn't

[Doctor_J]

A woman whom I am friends with ended a long marriage a few months ago. She's attractive and nice and smart and fun and the same general age as I am. We conversed a couple times in July and August. I wrote a song about her, that I never told her about. Then near the end of August I suggested some VERY minor escalation in our friendship - an evening of TV & popcorn, a nice dinner out, a long walk around her neighborhood after dark, a couple beers with mutual friends, all at her convenience - and she stopped returning my voice mails and e-mails.

I'm kind of average looking, but everything else is far above average - job, finances, sense of humor, groundedness. What happened, do you think?

1. she may not be ready to date yet

the longer the relationship is the longer it takes to really be ready to date again

2. She wasn't interested. Find someone else. That's just life. You made

a reasonable overture, and she basically rejected it.

3. lionesspriyanka just might be right

But another thing to think about. If she just ended a long marriage she might not want to hurt you. A lot of times right after a marriage a person wants to "play the field" so to speak and get it out of their system. She might like you enough to not put you through that.

Kick back for a little and see what happens.

4. I know, I am trying to

kick back. But The Best Of Jenna Jameson Vol 18 isn't due out for another couple months, and it'll cost $50 when it IS released,...
