Connected with a HB8 on coffee meets bagel. She’s 29 and divorced, definitely comes off as being conservative, family oriented and religious. I’m 26. Approaching the wall but very attractive and seemingly value oriented.

We exchanged a few messages about our weekend. She asked me about my dog and I told her a funny story which she laughed at and enjoyed. I used it as an opportunity to escalate by telling her that I have plenty more funny stories and asked her to meet for drinks. Didn’t want to message too much, and instead just focus on the logistics of meeting up. Wanted to strike while the pussy was wet and not dry it up with incessant texting.

She took a few days to respond and when she did, she said: “Sorry I never answered you...I’m new to all of this. Maybe we should chat more before we meet for drinks so we don’t waste our time. I might not be what you are looking for lol (emoji)

Perhaps this could mean she’s new to dating since being divorced? Seems like she’s wanting to build up more trust and/or seeing how I respond. Anyways, I’m thinking the best way to respond is to get her phone number and text her, and when she’s free sometime over the next couple nights, give her a call. I think that way I can establish trust and put her at ease, then set up a meet. Maybe at that point there will be enough trust to have her over for dinner.

Thoughts on how to respond or if this is a good idea? Thanks.
