Can I go from Friend to Boyfriend
Let me start off by saying I'm a divorced dad of 2 children(10 and 7# and I'm 42. The female friend I like is a divorced mom of 2 kids #6 and 1) and she's 29. I've know her for 4 years but just two months ago we started doing more things together. Over the past two months as families we've hung out over 10 + times. By ourselves we've been out just once. We've kissed only once but every other time it's been a passionate hug. He's where it gets difficult. Everytime we doing something she always text or calls and says she's had a great time and likes hanging out with me. But then the next day when i try and text her she doesn't respond or appears to be distant. I also have to initiate everything. I text her first, I ask her to come over, I ask her out on the date, i always call her first. Only once did she invite me over to her place without me asking her. I haven't asked her where she thinks we are or where she thinks it will go. But i probably should. So from what I've told you what do you think?
And keep us posted, inquiring minds need to kow
Yes, I agree that asking her if she is interested in spending time together as more than friends is the best thing to do.
I agree with the others to some extent.
Yeah, her actions are telling you exactly where she is at. It's a good sign she is wanting to do things with you, and also telling you that she enjoyed herself.
My guess is if she wasn't recently divorced and didn't have a one year old to deal with she might be giving you better signals. I also think its very smart of her not to rush things, she is only 29 afterall. Maybe she's just so overwhelmed with everything that she hasn't gotten the clue that you're that interested in her. It certainly wouldn't hurt to ask her if she has any interest in going on an actual date with you. You can tell her that you're interested in being more than friends and don't want to rush things. Just see what she says and if she needs time to think about it that's ok too. There is also the age difference to consider and she may want to ponder that some.

There is something to the fact that she does accept your invitations.
I agree with the others. I also want to point out that a young divorced mom with two young children is acting out of WISDOM by not throwing herself headfirst into a relationship.
As Musiclover has noted, women traditionally have
I don't think the fact that she waits for you to initiate things is a big deal in itself--it's more traditional that men are the ones who ask for dates & it's only been too much.
