I got matched with my neighbor...here and it appears we match on another site. She is a wonderful lady. Very energetic, beautiful, intelligent, she takes extreme care of her home it is beautiful. She has a sweet daughter, but we have only spoken to each other a few times over the years.

I guess she has recently become single as she poped up on these web sites.

I sent emails to her on here and the other site, guess will see how it goes lol. Sad we had to meet on the internet when we sleep 100 yards apart hah.

Anyway...any advice on hitting on the neighbor on web sites?

You certainly will have stuff to talk about early on However, if one of you gets attached and if it doesn't work out that could get, umm dicey.

It is funny how that happens, isn't it? I got matched on another site with my best friend's upstairs neighbor. We've been dating almost 2 years now.

I would say just be slow and be careful with this one. If it doesn't work out, it's not like you'll never see her again!

Good luck!

I think the best option is to approach and speak directly.

I expect that is what she will expect, seeing you in her matches.

I found a number of women I recognized ... get over your fear and talk to them.

I think D_lion is D_right here. Don't hide behind your computer -- get over there and knock on her door already!!! And don't forget to bring her a little welcome to the "neighbor" hood gift! Perhaps a small plant for her yard (since she seems to take care of it).

This is perhaps the only scenario I can think of where you might want to consider a very small gift -- since you are neighbors. And if it ends, be sure to give her another small gift to show your good intents!

Good luck!

be careful with this one... if it works out, that is awesome... if things go wrong, plan early on who's going to move out of the neighborhood!!

I agree with D, talking online is for people you don't have any other contact with, if i were her and you sent an email rather than coming over and striking up a conversation then i'd be wondering why you preferred to distance yourself.

I think it's okay that you e-mailed her at first. If it were me, I'd find it odd that a neighbor of mine for years whom we've hardly ever spoken, would just suddenly come over and talk about dating ~ simply because of a website. So easing into it I think is a good idea. Seems to be the more natural way of handling things.

Tips on hitting on a neighbor? don't think it's any different than hitting on anybody else, but ya, definitely be real cautious on this one since no matter what happens you'll end up "sleeping 100 yards away from each other" no matter what.

Good luck.
Richey
