Nobody is talking about getting strung along. This situation is a bit awkward because of the time spent without having expressed an interest beyond being friends. If anything he has been stringing her along.

I don't get the reluctance to express a sexual interest in a woman. Women love to hear that they are desirable and I think men owe it to women to offer themselves up. She might feel like getting a little before dinner and it's just downright rude to not offer yourself. Guys get the idea in their heads that women are not trying to get laid. Anywhere men are trying to get laid, women are trying to get laid too. We wouldn't have seven billion humans on earth if that were not true.

She might not be sexually active for any number of reasons but she probably is, offer. Be understanding, sexual dysfunction is everywhere these days. You might not be getting what you think you are getting but you should be willing to take what she has to offer and give what she is willing to have.

You might have missed the point about the married/engaged question. That is just a suggestive way to express interest.

Ask yourself if you really want this. You might just be feeling like a fool for not playing your part.

I concur!!! There are a lot of sexually active 50+ year old women who want MORE than men want to give. Some are attractive hotties who are very approachable. A confident man who makes the first move just became very attractive to her.

My crudeness again. Candys dandy but liquor is quicker. It can be a great inhibition remover is well known. At least bring a decent bottle of wine.

Even just a couple of drinks can loosen things up. You may need it more than she does. It even gets you a little room. Excused because it must have been the drink. As an analogy you are playing baseball. You are striking out and trying to get to first base by acquiring balls. No pun intended. I did warn you it was my crudeness.

Here is another one. Liquor up front, poker in the rear. You do realize that alcohol makes it harder, actually softer, for a guy when it comes to rising to the occasion.

Hence the suggestion, tell her and not drag it out. Don't waste date money or time. If it is not to be, move on.
