In3deeps's Quest to Attract His Perfect Wife

[alden]

Get your ass up and make a move, man. Being her emotional bin is the fastest way towards friedzone. If the move doesn't work out, you at least know that she isn't your perfect wife.

I agree with this. Brother in3deep, love yourself by not becoming an emotional tampon to that woman. Escalate the conversation to fun things, especially those not related to her ex. But don't take a risky move until she's healed herself. If she's that sad right now, it might be a recent breakup. Let her deal with it! You know, women move on fast. She'll have a very different vibe, for sure, after a month.

Beware, by becoming a nice guy who keeps listening to her woes, you never become a better guy than her jerk ex. At worst (and I did not say "at best"), you'll be put into the friend zone. And unless she's that mature (which means old), she'll not see you as a potential partner.
