Some history about the relations I am having with a woman....I'm 33 and she's 29. We work in similar fields and have a lot in common. She calls me hottie and I call her babydoll, we flirt a lot.

On St Patrick's day we made out, granted we had a little to drink. A couple weeks ago we had dinner and she invited me over to her house. We talked until 3 am and she offered to let me sleep on her couch. We saw a concert a couple days ago and had dinner afterwards with some great conversation. She wants to take me hiking and hang out even more.

I think about her everyday, it's like I'm 15 again and having a high school crush! Normally I would just tell a woman how I feel and whatever happens would happen. But with her I don't want to become a clingy wimp and enter the dreaded friend zone.

My question is given everything I have typed here, do you think I have a chance at having a relationship with her? She's very independent and I don't want to freak her out..

Whenever I watch a show like Cops or Speeders, it seems that while the cop is slowly approaching the offender's car, he/she will usually touch the car's back driver's side corner, typically by the taillight. Why is that?
