Why won't she date me?
I have known this woman for about 18 yrs now, we have been really great friends for all that time... I have been single now for about 3 yrs, and she has just gotten divorced from her ex of 13yrs... We recently became close and I really have deep feelings for her... I have asked her out on a couple of dates, but she never accepts... I have asked her why, and she says that she needs time... What's that supposed to mean? She has been out on dates with other guys, but nothing ever came of them... When I do see her out, she is always hugging & kissing me, and we always have a good time together... She calls me almost everyday and we enjoy talking to each other... She says that she loves me for who I am, and has feelings for me, but I just can't get her to commit to anything that might make our relationship grow any further... I sometimes think I make myself to available for her, and she wants to explore all of her options before she commits to anything... What do you think I should do?

Imagine what would happen if you were to date and it doesn't work out. You lose your 18 years friend. I think she is worried about that. And i also believe that she needs time to get back on her shoe. A 13 year marriage? It takes some courage to put it back and move on. So i say she indeed loves you but she doesn't want to jeapordize your rlp. Give her some time. Afterall if she has been there for the last 18 years she sure is not going away this time.
Good luck

chances are this woman only wants a friend and feels that intimacy would jeopardize this relationship. It is also possible she was very hurt by the previous relationship that she was in and is afraid to get another one going. In any case good luck if you decide to pursue this any further but is probably better that you should keep the friendship as is.

She most likely has feelings for you, she is just afraid to show you that. Maybe she thinks that her relationship with you as friends is more valuable then if you 2 were more then friends. You should just be there for her until she realizes that your the only one for her. Keep trying, GOOD LUCK!

She does not have those same romantic feelings towards you. You need to accept the fact that she just wants to keep it as friends and you need to find someone who will return your affection. Good luck to you!

Obviously, you are her fall back position; she is hoping to get something better, but will string you along until something does or she gives up hope and settles for you. If you are comfortable with that, then hang around.
