Confused...

WP, I am totally confused about what's going on right now. I don't know what to think of this situation I'm in.

There's this girl, who was good friends with my best friend in high school. I never really knew her at all in high school, but the three of us hung out once about two years ago. I don't see my best friend much as he is deployed in Iraq with the USMC right now. I hadn't heard much from this girl since, although we would email each other now and then. Even though we only met once we kept in contact, which is unusual in itself.

Fast forward from two years ago to last week. She texted me - out of seemingly nowhere - to see the Dark Knight. We went and we both enjoyed the movie. (odd that she was not a Batman fan) No physical contact until the end, when we hugged. Then earlier this week, she texts me again to get lunch on Friday. We end up not getting lunch but she invites me over to watch a movie instead.

Let me include some factors for you to consider that may or may not be extraneous. She has a two year old boy and is apparently separated from the father (I don't know all the details yet but I may ask later). She just moved back into her childhood home after supporting herself, but her family is mostly living at the shore for the summer. I think she mostly works and is at home with her son the rest of the time. Could be she is just lonely, or that she's interested in me - either as a father figure for her son ( ) or in some other way.

That's about all I can think of regarding this situation. So I don't know what to think. Is she just lonely for platonic companionship? Is it something more? I would appreciate any insight people could offer.

Platonic friendship. she's lonely and seeking friends.

nothing more, nothing less.

Unless said situation develops into something else, which I doubt, though I would ask that you keep us posted.

Oh and by the way, I'm Gamester, the resident Writing lit major, and also part time psych.

Yes, you don't really have enough details at the moment to assume anything more than platonic interest.
And it's not unusual for a non-batman fan to like The Dark Knight. Have you seen it's box-office?

I myself saw Dark Knight for several reasons.

1: Heath Ledger's last performance.
2: Examine Christian Bale's performance. (Awesome actor)
3: To see The Joker's characterisation
4: To see if life imitated art or vice versa for Heath and Joker.
5: Bragging rights. Saw first show where I live.

If the child is an aspy, she could very well be looking for a father figure or adviser for her child.

Or she could just be horny and looking for a f**k buddy and doesn't care who you are.

It's not Ledger's last role; he's got some scenes in the upcoming Gilliam. He was playing the main character and died halfway through, so it's going to be one of those "several actors, one role" type films.
Off-topic, sorry.

She's probably looking for a friend but maybe it could turn into something more. Just give it some time. If she's asked you out a few times already, I think she'll tell you if she has an interest in anything more.
