Love help: I got a first date with a really great girl but there are two things: - Help.com



This post left anonymously

I got a first date with a really great girl but there are two things:

1. She has been in a failed marriage. They aren’t divorced, just split at this stage (7 months ago). He has gone back to his home country, so isn’t in the immediate picture. No kids involved. All she has said when she accepted my offer is that she is in a bit of a fragile state. Other than that, she’s very chirpy when we talk. I take that as a sign that she probably needs more space than most. But any tips on how to handle her in this respect?

2. She appears to be extremely successful. She’s got a top job at a global company. She’s already talked to me about work travel and the company is sending her first class/5 star. For some reason this intimidates me. I’m no slouch, have a great job, and am pretty well paid - but not a white collar dude. I definately don’t have a problem with being with a girl earning more than me. But I find myself wondering if I will stack up for her when she is constantly around other guys who are the same career mould as herself every day.

Any advice from girls in either of these situations would be awesome. General tips are welcome. I’ve only been in one long term relationship my whole life, this is my first date ever!

We are both in our late 20’s

Go slow, and make sure to just take your time with things and all should work out
