Guidance

I'm on a date with my ex at the movies, and we're trying to rekindle our relationship. So far, the date has been going well. While watching the film, she brings up her son, mentioning that he doesn’t like to leave the house. I suggest it’s probably because he has a PS5 at home and feels more comfortable there; I can relate since I was a kid once too. Then she adds, “I wish he would leave the house sometimes, so I could have company over.” I can’t help but feel that she might be referring to someone other than me, which is strange since I've spent time with her both with and without her kid. Am I overthinking this, or is there something more to it?

Do you think she's hinting at wanting more adult time with someone besides her son?

You're not overthinking—trust your gut. Just talk to her about it gently. Stay open!

Do you think she's expressing a desire for adult company when she's hinting at wanting her son to leave the house?

Are you feeling insecure about her mentioning wanting company over, and whether she might be hinting at someone else?
