Hi there, I'm new here and I'm looking for some advice on the female mind. Basically, I'm trying to work out what a girl I asked out meant by 'I am kinda in a in-between relationship stage at the moment. I can meet ya for a drink though if thats ok?'

I'm reading that as 'I don't really like you but I'm willing to be friends with you, especially if you act as emotional support for me'. Am I right or just too cynical?

i wouldnt say she didnt like you the fact that shes willing to go for a drink says she does!! i think that if shes just out a relationship she doesnt want 2 commit to anythin! play it by ear and be her friend see what happens good luck

'In-between relationship' seems like there are already 2 people in the equation. The ex and a new boyfriend?

That being said, you lose nothing by having a drink with her. Best of luck.

Good man! Pessimism makes nice things seem nicer. Or fake.

ull b able to tell if she likes u wen u meet face to face! have a drink and see what happens she myt not b sure! u just never no wats goin on inside a ladys head lol

I think it's worth having a drink with her 'cos by meeting you can both get a sense of whether there is any kind of future together and if yes, what kind, friendship or lovers.

Sometimes you can meet somebody and find there's no chemistry, but you like each other and have some common interests that makes it worthwhile to continue being friends and it seems a shame to give that a miss whilst hunting for the perfect partner.

I think on-line dating makes these sort of 'in-betweens' more common because most of us would probably be talking to more than one person, and your opportunities to meet may not be in the best order for you to be making up your mind and it does go both ways. So I think it can be about leaving your options open, but I do reckon there has to be some interest for her to suggest it... but I wouldn't suggest you bought ALL the drinks

if she said your a really nice guy as well, dont bother your dead in the water lol

Ok, update - she's made it pretty clear that she meant no now with a rather pointed statement, heh.

Ah well, more fish in the sea I suppose.
