Attractive single neighbor

I have a new neighbor who lives right next door. She travels a lot for work, so she's never home. So when I finally saw her car a couple of weeks ago, I brought her a bottle of wine as a house warming present. She invited me in and we talked for a while. She said that she would invite me over when she opened the bottle as she didn't like to drink alone. We haven't gotten together yet, as her mother has been in town for the last 2 weeks. However, I asked her about meeting up for a drink last week and she said she would call me. She never called, as her mother was still here. She's also sent me a few text messages asking me to borrow various things and I've given them to her.

I think she could be interested, but its hard to tell. Even if she is interested, should I not pursue her because of the proximity? My take is that she could care less about being in a relationship, as she's so tied up in her career. But she may want a friends with benefits type of deal, which I'm totally up for.

Give her some time. Her mother is in town, and then you have the holidays coming up.

I would approach it this way, at the minimum you have a good friend.

see what happens thgere...its another option but dont think its your only option.

I'm curious about one thing though.

What kind of wine did you get her?

Personally I would not pursue a next door neighbor. I like to be friends (without benefits) with my neighbors. If things did not work out the you have an enemy who you see all the time. Not a good situation. This would be the same type of thing as dating someone you work with, not a good idea.

I got her an Italian red wine from Trader Joe's. I've had it before, so I knew it was good.

Of course I'll wait until her mother's gone. PY, excellent points. Thanks for that. Gr8Guy, I know, I am a little worried about her living right next door. On the other hand, she seems like a rare type of woman who has no intention of ever getting married. She made the comment "I didn't work so hard for all of this just to lose it all". Tells me she's pretty cynical about marriage, as am I at the moment. Could be a perfect situation, for the time being anyway.
