Hello dollars, thanks for taking time out of your busy day to read and hopefully share some thoughts you have. Well time for the detail.

So I am a male that doesn't mind going out of my way for people. Im the type of guy that opens doors for ladies no matter if there my friend or not. From what people have told me I'm a chilled dude that very trust worthy. I tend to think of others before myself and ill listen to whatever anyone wants to talk about and give my own two sense hear and there.

There this girl that I somewhat knew from high school and from my ex girlfriend not to close friend. Well I ran into her not to long ago and got her number she went through a shitty brake up with someone that abused and cheated on her. Well I started talking to her regularly when I could and she respond kinda half quickly half may take awhile to answer, which I know people are busy so I didn't mind. I started asking her if she want to hangout some time and she said sure so we hung out just me and her 4 or 5 times now. She has kinda left me hanging some of those time cause of either being busy or her phone not working to with we just rescheduled. She allayed apologized right after though I usually need to send another message the next day asking what happened. Like I said it just me and her and we usually have fun laughing and joking around. We share a lot of the same interest and got along straight away. We usually talk for hours when we hangout (usually she does most of the talking while ill listen).

From what I've learned from her was she always seem to find herself in abusive relationships physical and verbal. Almost all beside one have been gothic metal band guys (which she is kinda herself) that do some form of drugs. The one that wasn't one of these guys wasn't gothic still abusive and had a mother that basically stalked and consoled her and her son so she wanted out of that. She doesn't usually text first which the convos that she had with me almost always had me message her first beside one time when she accidentally called when she was panicking and crying (I of coursed asked what was going on and called her once she said she was crying). She does deal with a father that treats her worse than garbage and thats nots not a joke. On one of these hangouts she told me she trusted me and fells safe when with me.

The advice I need is how do I progress with her and get her to be my girlfriend? If theres any info you need just ask. I really could use the help T~T

Forgot to add thanks for those that red this

Hi tenzo! You seem like a nice guy and you seem to really like this girl. If you have already started hanging out, and I see that you really want to help her, just tell her exactly how you feel. Be adult-like and confront her about how you feel. If no effort to advance your relationship with this girl is done, then nothing will occur. If you really like this girl then I think you should go for it! I'm sure she will be lucky to have you.

Just do what you can to help her for the time being. Make her comfortable. For now just continue to be her friend. You'll know when thr time is right to officially ask her out.

I wish you the best of luck.

May cupid hit his mark.
