I'm sorry this is rather long but I have no clue how to read women. I have been married for 35 years and I'm 56 years old. My wife and I have been separated to 2 years and are getting a divorce. In the meantime.

Back in June I met a woman, divorced for 8 years, 54 years old. We've seen each other 4 or 5 times until just last week but not under romantic or dating situations. But we always hug closely and have a ball together.

This woman is independent (financially and emotionally), smart, has a great great sense of humor, is adventurous, fun loving and has a good heart. Last Friday I was at a musical event and she showed up with her close friend, whom I also consider a friend.

This was a an event where most folks would be spending the night in their tent's, RV's, etc. I had a little too much to drink and this woman offers to take me to her house (nearby) and I could sleep in her motorhome there.

We get to her house, her friend goes home, and she and I sit outside on her patio and continue to have a few drinks. Amazingly we had a very deep personal conversation. We hit it off very well. It got chilly so we went inside to her living room and continued drinking and talking. I sat on the sofa and she came and sat next to me...she could have sat anywhere.

She recently lost a dear friend and hadn't come to terms with it. She was present at the accident where her friend died. She began to cry so I put my arm around her to try and comfort me and she moved closer to me. We stayed there and talked a while more and then we decided it was bedtime.

We said goodnight, she went to her bedroom and I went to the motorhome to sleep. In the morning she asked me if I'd like a shower, I said yes and she set me up in a spare bathroom with every thing I'd need. She took me out to breakfast on the way back to the event from the previous night. We hugged goodbye, I left for work and she went about her business.

On Monday night, I was invited to have dinner at her house before giving her and her girlfriend a music lesson. She cooked me a wonderful meal and baked an apple pie (my favorite...she knew) from scratch...it was awesome. We had our lesson, her girlfriend left and we did pretty much what we did Friday night, drank wine and talked. I wasn't "Drunk" but I had too much to drink and drive. So, again I was offered her motorhome to sleep in.

We talked again about her recently deceased friend and confided in me that she was exhausted and had hardly slept since her friends' passing almost 3 months ago. After much talk and suggestions, I suggested that we watch a movie in her living room and she could snuggle up to me and maybe that might help her to get some much needed sleep.

She agreed to give it a try. She changed into her Pajamas, and brought a comforter. She sat next to me and threw th comforter over both of us. We got comfortable with our feet on the coffee table, her leaning against me and my arm around her. She kept touching the top of my feet with the bottom of hers. It was good.

After about an hour, she fell asleep in my arms and slept peacefully and deeply for about three hours. I did not get 'Roamin' Hands' I was a complete gentleman. Upon awakening, we hugged and went our separate ways for the night. Same thing as Friday she offered a shower which I took and we talked for a couple hours, much more cheerful subjects and then we went our separate ways.

She remembers little details from previous conversation, is happy to see me when we meet, and looks me right in the eye when we talk. We've known each other barely 4 months and have spent a total of maybe 40 hours together in that time. We've told each other details of our lives that most of our friends and family don't know and will never know.

My question is, do you think she likes me? I mean as more than just friends? I'd like to take things to the next level but I will only do so if she invites me there...I DO NOT want to ruin this friendship. Thanks and what do you think?
