Ok so I work with an after school daycare and one of the new kids mothers is amazingly beautiful. We have been joking around, and talking when she comes in to pick up her kid. She recently joined the military and has 2 kids, one of which I take care of and the other is too young to be in my program. She recently enlisted in the Army. This is her first duty station and she is working supply.  The other day I asked her for her number so we could hang out sometime and she gave it to me. I then offered to meet her and have lunch together the next day and she said sure. So I mentioned a place and she said she would call me when she got off for her lunch break. Well, I didnt get a call but when she came to pick up her kid she said she was sorry and that she didnt have her cell phone on her or otherwise she would have called me. I said that was fine and that if she wanted to try for lunch again some other day give me a call and let me know. I also offered to taker her out to dinner and a movie this Friday. That was last night and I wont see her again for sure till she comes to pick her kid up this evening. So what does the hive mind think, is this going well?

[edit] And no I dont have a picture of her so I cant post one. If I get one I might post it.

Is she really worth pursuing enough?

Just don't turn into a stalker!

No. I didn't have my phone on isn't acceptable for "Why didn't you pick up" and even less acceptable for, "I didn't call you"

She won't even turn her phone on to call you. Forget about it.

The ball is in her court, just give it time.  Pushing it will only give her the creepy desperate crazy day care guy vibe

Show some class. Don't post her picture on the Internet, dude.

Do post it here though !

she blew you off already and she's a single mom.

dont waste any more of your time on this one.

Bingo!

Women on military bases, or even near military bases call the shots. Ugly fat women can find someone to do everything they ask for. If she's beautiful and has two kids chances are she's trying to get a price break. She's also propably seen more dick than a urologist. Play it cool, and don't expect much.

This may be a silly question.

Is she married?

Cuts to the chase!

Why do work as a babysitter?



She is already creeped-out that you're a babysitter.

Talking to her again will only make her go home and scrub her skin off with sandpaper in the shower.

She wants nothing to do with you but isn't grown-up enough to actually tell you that.

X 10

Just do a first date - don't rush it and let it develop –– or not.

If it were you that was supposed to call and make it happen, would you have dropped the ball, and given bad excuses?

No.

She's not that into you. Just be friendly to her, civil, and forget about it. If there's something there, she'll MAKE it happen when she sees your suddenly off the table. If she doesn't, there wasn't anything there anyway.
