re: How long do you wait before asking out a newly single girl? (PAGE 4 & 9 UPDATE)

It finally happened. She flirted too well, too much. We spent all morning together at an event, Covid be damned. Her homemade cloth mask hung from her left ear. Mine scrunched and sweat soaked below the chin. You know when you do things that will inevitably lead to an outcome you don't want, but you do it anyway? Or maybe she wanted me to ask her out. I don't think she knew what she wanted. So I told her I don't know the 'broke up six weeks ago' etiquette, but that I was interested and wanted my shot. She said she was interested in me too, but couldn't commit. She still needed time to heal.

"Of course, ball is in your court, let me know when you're ready"

The text message came two hours later. Three paragraphs summed into a sentence, "I had a wonderful time this morning, you're amazing and attractive, but I don't think I can date right now". Doesn't sound like the door is closed permanently, but we'll see three months from now. Two months?. It's probably closed, right?
