So it's been a little while since ive been in the game. Recently I met a very smart, successful, very attractive woman at an event at a local high school, where we were both volunteering.

We didn't talk much, but I realized it's someone ive been Facebook "friends" with for quite some time, but have never spoken with.

I sent her a message on Facebook after we met in person that it was nice to meet her and all that.

Then it turned into a conversation. We have quite a bit in common. She is well known in the city. She literally rubs elbows with real celebrities and local politicians and business owners. She knows everyone. I am nowhere near her in terms of having a lot of connections etc.

She and I have great conversations, and I'm very intrigued. She is ridiculous smart, which is very attractive to me. And she's physically attractive as well. And she is married.

She's only been married a year and a half to this guy, and she spent quite a bit of time telling me it isnt going well and he doesnt get a long with her kids. Long story short, she manages her own law firm, has kids, several other responsibilities and still has been making time for us to talk, and today we met up for lunch.

Now I really like her. I'd even be content with her as a really good friend, though she is exciting and very attractive.

She's in her late 30's and is not dumb, naive girl. This my friends, IS THE LIONESS. She is the alpha of all alphas... In the best way.

So my question is I'm slightly intimidated by her outgoing, confident swagger. And shes smart. And I'm 6'4" and shes almost 6' in her heels.

How do I proceed? I want to be cool like I have been but also continue the dialogue and see her again but she is the first woman I have felt I may be in over my head with.

I'm usually really good at reading situations... But this is impossible.

Any good info or suggestions welcome.
