I met a girl that is recently single. Basically she said "it's complicated", so maybe she is technically single but not ready to date. Had a couple good group dates and the last date ended with a kiss from her. All good, very responsive to my texts etc

Then I decided to try and escalate to a one on one date and she told me that she is still in love with her ex. I basically can't get her alone so I am just going to assume she isn't ready. It seems she likes the attention I give her, but not ready to give me a serious chance.

However you hear stories about guys that keep trying and eventually she opens up. I don't like to text more than once. I basically told her to text me if she wants to go out. However she did kiss me which is making me think I should push a little more than I have.

From past experiences I feel like all girls that still love an ex are basically a waste of time. Agree?
