Need relationship help?
I've been friends with this woman for a number of months now. She's been going through a very tough time (serious medical and divorce issues) and began using me as a sounding board. I obliged and we've become more friendly as time has passed. We've shared a lot of ourselves (stories of youth, parents, etc.) with each other, as friends. She seems to trust me implicitly. I began to like this woman as more than a friend, yet did not feel it appropriate for me to further complicate her life more than it was. I decided to just be a caring friend. Then she asked me out on a date. Things went well, but now I don't hear from her. She has to know that I care for her as more than a friend, yet I never pushed for more. I think that there is also another person she cares for yet I don't know the extent of that relationship. I have called 2x and text 2x only over a span of nearly 2 weeks, and no response. There was a fun yet unrelated posting by her on my Facebook page a couple of days ago, yet no other contact.
Is she scared to talk to me? I want to help her through her problems, either as friend or more. Yet I don't want to seem overly eager or pushy.
I've asked a few friends for input but can't seem to get a consensus on what to do. Therefore, why not the public at large!!! Thanks for your time.

Your situation reminds me of an old joke I heard years ago.
An older sister was giving advice to her younger sister. "There are two things you have to remember about men. Either they move so slow that you want to scream or so fast that you have to."
Your moving far too slow with this female. She already took the first step and asked you out, but you played the "best friend" too well, and now she might be thinking your the "gay friend" now. (not trying to be insulting)
The ball is on YOUR side of the court. Its YOUR turn to ask her out. And for goodness sake, don't just give her a peck on the cheek at the end of the evening.
You know, some females actually like some guy to be "overly eager" for her. It makes them feel as if someone finds them sexy.

Hmm, that's not good really. Maybe she needs some time. I think two weeks in a lot but maybe she does need more. Remember, if you were in a relationship with her, she could bring you down a lot. I know you said you like to help her but from what you've said it seems as though she is quite depressed and you shouldn't spend all of your time cheering someone up. It is good to but give yourself some time as well.
Wait for her to come to you because you don't want to sound obsessive.

If she hasn't text you back that usually means she's not interested. Your last option would be to msg her on Facebook. That's excuse proof. No response. You've got your answer.
