Dating someone who's "not ready"
Ok. I'm seeing this amazing Argentine woman, both looks and intelligence. We were introduced through a friend and have gone out twice.
My story. I'm single and interested in having a sort relationship with a local woman. I'm totally honest about my plans, or lack of them. I'll stay in the city until Jan and then travel through the south down to the tip of south america. When I come back here, I may stay or fly back to Canada.
Her story is that she broke up with her boyfriend two months ago after a 2 and a half year relationship. She mentions that she picks the wrong men... and I don't ask for details. She wants to know about my past relationships and why they ended, or so it seemed over dinner.
When I paid for dinner on the second date, she offered to pay me back by taking me sailing on her boat. There's a river closeby that is easy to cross to get to a large island. It's popular to go there for the beaches along the river.
The problem is... she won't kiss me on the lips or show emotion. She says it's because she's still not over her last boyfriend and needs time. She wants to go slow.
I'll go sailing with her and see how that goes but I'm wondering how long it's going to take for this woman to accept a new guy. What's my best approach, other than to just be myself and not hit on her at all. Not even an attempt at a kiss?
