Reply To: How can I make a move?

Asking about insurance when you were married, looking at him, and “being intimidated” — whatever that means — are not hints that you are interested! Neither is posting something about fitness on social media hoping he’ll somehow know you posted to all your friends just for him. You are 40 and you say you’ve dated quite a bit, but it really doesn’t sound like it IMO.

I don’t understand why this is such a big deal, LW. His daughter isn’t really your friend since you don’t trust or like her and it seems to me in a small town, your ex husband would know anyone you date. Not to mention, I’ve heard anecdotally, having never lived in a small town myself, is that it’s pretty normal in areas with a limited pool of singles for everyone to kinda date everyone. I don’t get it.
