Hi ! You did a nice job on the way you went about telling her.
Let me put my 2 cents worth in okay? In my opinion, you want to proceed slowly in the way that would make her more comfortable. As an example, if you see a woman on a television show you might want to make a mention how much you like that style of dress/skirt/jacket etc. on HER. Notice I said on her, not on you. Often a woman will then say something like, "would you wear that" or " what style do you like", something like that. In other words, you start the conversation AND let her continue it. I am a salesman in my "other life" and believe me it is a very effective way to "lead" a conversation in the way YOU want it to go. Again, start it and then be QUIET. Good luck dear !!!
