I'm sure this question has been asked, but I've been unable to find it. So, here goes.
I was divorced about five years ago, dated on and off, without any real success. My baby sister recommended getting a membership on a dating website, and it's paid off in spades. Specifically, I've met the most wonderful woman that I've known in a very long time. I'm sure you can get the idea: she's very intelligent (way smarter than me), incredibly attractive, and still laughs at my jokes, despite how lame they might be.
She has, however, had a recent event in her life that she wishes to focus on before we go any further, so it's just friends for now. We've gotten close, with us talking and dating for about two months. Since that event, I've promised to be the gentleman and wait, but I'm not sure how long to wait.
It may sound like a callous question, but is there an appropriate amount of time to wait before broaching the "would you like to get back on track?" question? Obviously, I'm far out of practice, and I need a little help. I'd love to continue dating her, but I'm not sure what to do.
