I met someone I had previously only talked to online; Granted, she's nice, and but right now, I just don't yet think she's my type, and I just literally got out of a massively horrible relationship, and would like to spend some time getting back to being myself (trust me, it was that bad)

Her and I had talked for quite awhile online, and decided to meet for lunch last week (she's about 30 min. away, the opposite direction of where I go to work), and I'd mentioned at the time that we could catch a movie or something this weekend... :/

I had made clear that I honestly wasn't into a relationship at this time, and she was ok and understanding, but frankly, I'd prefer to just stay home this weekend, not going anywhere! (Either that, or I may wind up going over to a longtime friends' house to hang out)

Anywho, now she's asked if I was still planning on that movie, and if not, we could do something else, like just hang out or somesuch, and I'm trying to find a nice way of gently putting it back the way they were (where it was: "Next time I'm in that part of town, maybe we could do something", rather than "Are you coming over this weekend"...

Any suggestions?

She's not your type at the moment, but do you think once you've gotten over your emotional baggage she would be the kind of girl you'd go for? I say this because the way I see it you have a few options. If you don't think you like her in that way then you should really try to mention what a great friend she is (emphasis on friend) so she knows you think shes nice but you just arent into her so she can find someone else for romance. Or if you think you might like her (and she likes you) you could try talking to her, letting her know that you think shes nice (avoid the word friend at this point to avoid confusion) and would like to see more of her but you need to take things slow because of your previous relationship.

OP Here;

I really don't know if she's my type or not, but I'm honestly just wanting to kick back & not worry about any relationships right now, that's all..

I've mentioned that to her, and she's ok with it, and understands that a relationship is out right now, so I think if I do say I'd like to see a movie this weekend, it'd be ok...

I admittedly did say I'd like to see a movie the next weekend, if she'd care to go, but beyond that, I can go back to normal contact with her (I'm honestly so busy w/ work and such right now, that I barely have time to think about this kind of thing, too!)

I honestly don't have a reason to go to that part of town very often, other than occasional shopping, and I mainly went there earlier, to see her that first time, more of a "Let's at least meet in real life, even though I'm not wanting a relationship right now", thing...

I suppose I should say "Yeah, I'd wanted to catch that movie, and I'd mentioned seeing it in that part of town, so if you'd like to go, let's see it", and then let it slowly get back to "How have you been" e-mails, the way it was before...

If anything happens at some point in the future after that, then it'll happen, otherwise, it won't....

I'm honestly wanting to just come home at the end of the day right now, and not worry about anything but getting a hot bath & reading, and getting some sleep, at the time being, that's my problem, I suppose..
