one month after i was told that i wasnt romance material by THE GIRL, we both
sit in non-romantic relationships with the objects of our affection. her's
being her 'CUTEBOY' (see her journal
and mine being CUTEGIRL. (yes i chose the name after her...)
yes. CUTEGIRL called back. we had a nice talk, and i thought it went well,
but shes just a very busy girl. busy and stressed. so, she cant handle another
thing in her life right now. it was a somewhat surreal call, surreal but nice.
there were some interesting parts, and if i were to base things on the words
she said, i would be optimistic about some future dating. but... i've become
a cynical realist as i go thru this dating life, so i'm not that optimistic.
for example, she had lost my number, but managed to pull it from the depths of
her mind. one might say that it meant she liked me enough to want to know my
number. or not... another example was that instead of letting the fone call
end with a vague 'call me if you feel like rescheduling' from me, she replied,
'well if i happen to forget your number, feel free to call me'... so, taking
those two things at face value, you would think that yes, she is busy with
2 jobs and full time grad school, and a smashed car, but she does want to hear
from me again. i dunno. i do like her, and i would date her if her schedule
permitted... but it does seem a bit weird.
on the other hand, it is quite possible that shes got a lot going on, and now
is not the time. so, i'm saying ok. i'll probably give her a call in a few
weeks to see how things are going.
which reminds me, tis time for my weekly email to GROCERYGIRL. i'm trying to
get her to go out again. but again, here we have a busy girl. 2 jobs, a
search for a new apartment, and also a damaged car. (she had someone trash
it one nite while at home...)
weird. CUTEGIRL, GROCERYGIRL and THE GIRL all have car damage. lets hope
it stops there.
