Am stuck in a situation with a HB, divorced w a son. Know her socially so ran into her at a random social function, asked her to join me and a few friends for drinks later on- she did and we had a great time. lots of Kino. halfway thru the evening, the kissing started. I then suggested i drop her off to her place. she asked me up. She lit some candles, got the whole mood going. lots of foreplay, she then started talking about her life and for an hour after that we did just that. I am separated so she felt she did not want to be the other woman etc. The reason she broke off her marriage was because her husband was cheating.

we agreed to meet and talk later. I left. Just texted a few times the next day. Agree to meet for coffee the day after. She said she was happy I was in her life yet we were both responsible mature adults so we keep that nite as it was- a good memory. I said sure, I am cool with that and expressed an interest to keep on meeting.

We text regularly and meet up quite often. lots of kino, wine, and conversation. I am stuck in this spot and want to move further. Maybe I am encouraging the friend zone (unconsciously), yet dont want to be there and told her that. She asks a lot of questions about me and my life etc! I know her full life story and am now advising her to set up her own biz (right now she is in partnership with her ex- long story that), and we also refer business to each other.

Is it the fact that I am separated holding her back?

Does she think because we move in the same social circles, it could cause her or me problems?

Was that night a real one off? We message on a daily basis yet just general stuff. Have tried cocky funny and negged quite often (in jest). she responds positively. Help!!!!

I am not one who gives up easily so want to keep at it. Meeting her tomorrow again and since its a biz meeting, I suggested she choose time and venue. She chose evening as b4 that she's with her son and days are busy, yet she chose a relaxed a beach club w drinks (hardly a venue for biz discussion). So am lost here and need some expert help on moving forward.
