Q: I live in Kansas and have always had trouble meeting adventurous guys here. I moved to a new town and went to the local bike shop/outdoor store to buy a slackline last semester, and a super cute boy sold it to me. We ended up slacklining that night and several times a week for the rest of the warm weather, and our conversations revealed tons of stuff we have in common - like going to preschool together!
The problem is, now that it's cold and we can't slackline I never see him anymore. I tried to express my interest when we were hanging out a lot and I thought for a while that his response was favorable, but either he's not getting the hints or was only interested in a slacking buddy. I'm not usually a particularly forward girl, but I'm tired of being that chick that guys only want to hang out with because I'm into outdoor activities. I don't want to let this one go. What do I do?

A: Ask if he wants to go to the climbing gym. That way you see him again and it’s along the same lines. when you go, you have to be flirty and if he doesn’t pick up on it, say, “Now that slackline season is over, we’ll have to do dinner sometimes or I’ll have withdrawal!” Make it jokey so you can gauge his answer before you become vulnerable. If he’s into it, plan away. If he’s not, then keep it jokey and let it go.
