I got a number

Love hearing positive stories like this.

Remember that you don’t have to have any expectations or assumptions. You can allow yourself to be surprised.

Grass is not greener on the other side. Don’t be looking for girls. Look for a Porsche she never minds being ridden hard and screams loud when she does. Will put a smile on your face when you drive it. It won’t attract girls, more guys and kids.

Sounds like she’s into you. She gave you her number. Go have fun bro.

What do you mean you’re not her type? That’s bullshit women don’t know even what their type is. A lot of times they end up with a dude they never thought they would be with. A lot of them miss out on really meaningful connections because they set an idealized visual criteria as the standard and disregard any nice guy if he doesn’t look like the idealized version of a mate that’s is in their mind. I grew up on Long Island New York and now reside in the Metropolitan area, this kind of shit is rampant here and it’s tragic. The more conventionally attractive the woman is the less likely they are to have a stable relationship. No one’s good enough! I know I’m making blanket statements here but there are tons of women out there just like this. Next thing you know they’re 40 they got no romantic partner and if they do it’s an on again off again and they are constantly complaining about it and asking themselves and everyone else what the problem is or it’s a chain of failed relationships. So I guess my point is you don’t know if you’re her type or not just go hang out with her and make her laugh a couple of times and get her pants off. She wouldn’t have given you her number if that’s not a possibility

And she is your type. Go have fun

The ones who choose you are usually the good ones. Never chase them, they will come to you :).

If she approached and gave you her number, she's your type.

Just be clear before any fun stuff happens that you just got divorced and are taking it super slow.

I get a shit ton of flirting and compliments even from inappropriately young women but can't seem to close. I'm confident and funny when in my element and have good conversational skills and communication is a breeze, but it stops there. Either they are married, way too young and just seeking validation from an older man, way older than me or maybe I'm just damaged and too cautious and closed off to pursue enough.

I struggle to find somone who is interesting enough beyond the physical and feel a connection. Every woman I like seems to be taken or is too damaged by the age of 30. Living in bumfuck nowhere doesn't help either. I'm cooked.

How do you know you’re not her ‘type’?

Ramp it up mate. If you don’t you will regret it.

However picking up the kids from school might become a little awkward

A cute mom from my kids’ school approached me

Good for you but don't go there. FAFO territory, plus major red flags on that kind of approach.

Enjoy the win but move your search to somewhere outside that gossipfest.
