So there is a girl, close to my age I think, that lives diagonal from me across the street. I see her sometimes outside or when she drives by and I always wave, and she always smiles and waves back. I have been wanting to meet her and talk to her but I just dont know how to go about it without coming off weird or anything like that. I was thinkin about stopping her when she drives by or hollering at her when I see her outside but im just not sure. So how do you think I should go about talkin to her and meeting her? And what should I say to her? I mean I would like to meet her, maybe go out on a date, be friends, whatever, I just need to know how I should go about this the best way. Please help me out, Thanks a lot!

When you see her to wave, you can walk over and introduce yourself. She’s already smiling at you and waving back — that’s a sign that she’s interested in you! Start a conversation and see if you like her and if the two of you have anything in common. If you do, you can ask her out on a date, or ask for her phone number or wait until the next time you see her to ask her out. 😉

I hope that helps!

Well I finally met my neighbor lol. And it went really well, we had a nice conversation and ended up talkin about our dogs and she mentioned we should take them for a walk some time. Should I just wait till I see her outside next and ask when are we gonna go for that walk? Or next time I take my dogs for a walk should I just go knock on her door? The thing is I never know when she is home and she does live with her uncle and grandma, who I have never met. So I dont want to feel akward knockin on their door and she isnt home lol. What do ya think should be my next move??

[Ask April Masini]

You can knock on her door and invite her on a date, or you can wait until you see her next. If you find your’e waiting too long for a chance meeting, then knock on her door. 😉

Well things have went well, until now lol. So I went over a 2nd time when she was outside, talked to her a bit, and said we should go walk our dogs the next day, because she said she wasnt busy. So that day came along and she wasnt home, So I walked my dogs by myself and when I got back home she was outside her house. So I went over to talk to her for a 3rd time, asked if she wanted to go for a walk, she had to do her sisters hair, but I asked for her number and she gave it to me. I text her so she would have my number and told her I would let her go since she was busy and to text me whenever. Well that was two days ago, and I havent heard from her, So i text her today saying “Hey whats up?” and that was almost 3 hours ago and she hasnt responded. If she doesnt respond, which I dont think she is, What should I do now? Is she not interested or what? I dont know if I need to back off a bit and leave her alone for awhile or what? So what do you think should be my next move? Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

[Ask April Masini]

Ask her if she’d like to go see a movie or have dinner.

You have to put yourself out there and risk rejection, in order to get a response you’re looking for. If she says yes, you’ve got a date! If she says no, you don’t have to waste your time any more, and you can move on without much damage done. 😉

Re-read my Friday, August 10 post to you in this thread! 😉

[Boomersooner1]

So about a month ago, I started hangin out with a
girl from high school. We would go to the lake, go
out to dinner, and she even slept in my bed a
couple times but we have never done anything, not
even kiss. We would talk every day and I began to
feel like we were dating and this had a chance to go
somewhere. After a month of hangin out a lot and
talking every day, I was around her best friend one
day. I decided to ask her friend what she thought
about me, cause I figured her best friend would
know. Well she said that she just wanted to be
friends and enjoyed hanging out with me. I was
pretty upset because I really liked the girl, but
accepted the fact and figured we could just be good
friends. Well the next day we had pool plans, she
ditched me, and nothing has been the same since.
That was two weeks ago and we havent hung out
once since then and she doesnt text me anymore
and barely talks to me. I guess her friend told her
what I asked and I dunno what the deal is. Well I
would really like to have a friendship with her still
and we have a vacation already planned a couple
months away. What do I need to do to fix this and
have a good friendship with her. I dont want things
to be awkward, I am perfectly fine with just being
friends. How do I go about fixing this and
establishing a good friendship with her?

[Ask April Masini]

You can’t have a friendship with a woman. It won’t work. In fact, you’re seeing that now. At your age, women are either people you’re interested in dating, people you are dating, or people you used to date. My advice is to take this current rejection as a gift — because it keeps you from wasting time with someone who’s not interested, and allows you to be truly single to find someone who is! — look for someone to date, elsewhere. 😉

Hope that helps!

You’ve already done great you noticed the signs, approached her naturally, and built a small connection. That smile and wave exchange was a good start, and bringing up your dogs was the perfect icebreaker. She even mentioned walking them together that’s friendly and open.

Now that she’s gone quiet, though, the best thing you can do is pause and let her come to you. Don’t text again or push for a response. Sometimes when interest isn’t mutual or someone’s unsure, they pull back instead of saying it outright. That’s okay it’s not a reflection of your value.

Next time you see her, keep it light. A simple, “Hey, haven’t seen you around! How’ve you been?” works better than revisiting the missed walk. If she’s warm and engaged, you’ll know there’s still interest. If she’s distant, smile, be polite, and move on confidently.

The right person won’t leave you guessing they’ll make time. You handled yourself well; now let her actions tell you where things stand.

[Ethan Morales]

You’ve already got a green light. The fact that she smiles and waves consistently shows she’s receptive she’s noticed you and has positive feelings, even if small. That’s more than many people get before making a move.

Skip the “hollering” or stopping her while driving. That can feel awkward or unsafe from her perspective. Keep it natural and low-pressure.

Go for a casual approach. Next time you see her outside walking the dog, checking the mail, or just enjoying the yard approach on foot and introduce yourself. Something simple works:

“Hey, I’m [Your Name]. I see you around a lot and thought I’d finally say hi.”

Start light, build connection. Ask a neutral question or comment on something in the neighborhood maybe about a local event, the weather, or even a compliment about something she’s doing (like gardening, biking, etc.). The goal is just a friendly conversation.

Gauge interest, then move forward. If she seems engaged and smiles/laughs and responds positively, you can naturally ask:

“Hey, would you like to grab coffee sometime?”

“I’d love to continue this conversation can I get your number?”

Keep it friendly, not intense. At this stage, it’s all about ease and rapport. You don’t need a perfect line sincerity and confidence are far more appealing.

Bottom line: walk over when you see her outside, introduce yourself naturally, start a light conversation, and feel out her interest. The rest flows from there.

hey, this actually made me smile a little because there’s something really sweet and old-fashioned about the way you’re going about it. waving across the street, talking about your dogs, sharing small moments before diving into anything serious—it feels genuine, and honestly, that’s rare these days. I can tell you’re trying to be respectful while still showing interest, and that’s such a good balance to have.

I think she already gave you a small green light when she mentioned taking your dogs for a walk together. that’s not just casual talk—it’s her way of inviting connection. maybe next time you see her outside, keep it simple. say something like, “hey, you once promised our dogs a walk. you think we should make that happen soon?” it’s friendly, flirty, and confident without pushing too hard. 💛

and I totally get not wanting to knock on her door and feel awkward with her family there. maybe just wait for a natural moment, like when she’s outside, or if you see her getting out of her car. trust the energy you already built—it sounds like she enjoys seeing you.

but can I ask you something? do you think part of your hesitation is about her, or about that fear we all get when something might actually go right for a change?
