Dear Letty,
I met a great woman at the dog-run. We eyeballed each other for some time and when our dogs got friendly, we did too. I have had a few dog related “meet-ups” with her and we are getting along wonderfully. How can I tell if there is chemistry or if we are destined to become great friends? There is all kinds of eye contact, she touches me when she wants to emphasize a point she is making, and we tussled a few times when running for a Frisbee. There have been occasions in my past when I thought women were digging me but got shot down when I tried to kiss them and now I am a bit gun-shy. What’s your professional recommendation?
3 Dog Dates (31 y/o M)
Dear 3DD
I know that the economy is hurting everyone right now, but consider taking her to a place where there are no dogs allowed, the two of you are dressed really nicely and the romance is so thick you can feel it in your trousers, oops, I mean you can cut it with a knife, the romance, that is. Don’t be a cheese-ball: dozen roses, candlelight dinner, but think along those lines, with an emphasis on what she’s told you about herself so the night is her type of romantic to a T. This way she knows you care because you really listened to her. She knows you are sincere because the dogs are nowhere in sight and she will know you want to kiss her because you picked the right moment to lean in close and pucker up. Don’t make contact! Just lean in real close, close your eyes, and be at the ready. From what you’ve described, she will kiss your lips. Any girl who will tussle, multiple times, over a Frisbee is interested.

Have you ever been there? Not knowing if the other person wanted kisses or just wanted to remain buds. What did you do? And how did it end up? Take a moment to let our DateSpacers know.
