Too Risky?

Hello Everyone,
I have a question... I have been single for almost 2 yrs. (by choice) I wanted to get over a betrayal/divorce and not have a "rebound" relationship. So now I think I'm readly to start dating again. So my mom has mentioned a that I should go out on a date with her neighbor. I have seen him a few times but I'm not sure if I should approach him. The few times I have seen him we said "hi" to each other, there have been a couple of times where I notice him waiting for me to see him but nothing more than that. So the problem is... how should I do it? I'm really shy so I'm not sure that I'd be able to ask. How can I hint that I would like to go out sometime? Any suggestions?

Hi Angie,
As I was reading your post... I was imagining myself.

Thanks for the reply. You can't inagine how many times I've played scenarios through my head. LOL The few times I have seen him I tell myself to walk up to him to "introduce" myself. But then I just freeze and just wave!! Ugh!! Another thing is that I know a few things about him already, like where he works, what sports he likes and few other things through my mom and brother. Should I pretend as if I don't know this info. just to srike up a conversation? Thanks again!!

Sometimes talking is the HARDEST part. I find it easier to talk to people that are brand new, because you get to know everything about them and can explore those things. I've been hanging out w/ my crush for a while now, and every once in a while we fall into these comfortable silences. I'm okay w/ it, but sometimes I'm kicking myself like "Say something stupid!!!"

Am I the only one here who is wondering why your mom doesn't just invite the neighbor over for barbecue or homemade apple pie or whatever sometime when you are there and then you can casually get to know each other?
Not a "come and meet my daughter" thing but, "I saw you out there in your yard and I wondered if you'd like to have barbecue with us tomorrow?" sort of thing. (If your brother can be there also, so much the better.)
Then the neighbor is no longer just a nodding acquaintance, you can go over and chat with him another time, and then if you are still interested, you can say you wouldn't mind going out with him (or however Karen suggested you might put it).
