    Hello all,

    Looking to start dating again. This time I am more sure about what I want in a partner/relationship. There is a guy I am friends with and have known for a couple of years. We are not very close, but he knows two other people I have dated. I am interested in getting to know him more. I have texted him just casually asking how he was doing. I am not sure how to approach this, I am afraid of asking to have lunch or something. I don’t want to sit around and wait until he messages me, he probably won’t know because he has no idea I am interested. I am not sure if it would be too weird since we are friends. Any advice?

    Hello Anita,

    Thank you. I am having a lot of trouble being patient. I am a go getter, but I really do want someone who will be into me as much as I’m into them. It would be good to back off, but I am not sure how much is too much.

    Dear Annie:

    A go getter in love, you wrote that you are a go getter and we are talking about dating, so I wonder what a go getter does, go after love as if it was out there? Go get a guy to do… what? I wonder. When I wrote “slowly” I now mean, let things in the inside of you surprise you. Let new things happen, come about, manifest, rise from within you.

    Of course, find out, slowly, who he is. Is he open to and curious about who you are? Does he want to know you slowly or is he a…fast and furious go getter himself?

    Slowly get to know him and you every step of the way, however long the way may be.

    Hello Anita,

    Thanks for responding. I am a go getter meaning when I am interested in someone I will spark a conversation to try to get to know them, see if they are open to things. Hmm, I did ask him to get lunch, but he said he was busy this weekend. I think that he is not interested, but that’s fine. I will eventually meet someone else. 🙂 Thank you

    Dear Annie:

    A go getter, you meant one to initiate a first date, I see. That is a very good thing, better initiate, get a response (busy this weekend is a clear enough response) then ruminate and wonder what if, definitely.
