"So this girl gives me her number, right? Like, semi out of the blue. This isn't something that happens to me every day, so I don't really know what to do. It was like a Tuesday or a Wednesday, and Friday night I'm out at the bar with a friend of mine, telling him this story and guess who's there?"
"The girl, I'm assuming."
"Of course, otherwise this would be a pointless story. She walks by on the way to the bathroom and says hi to me. Only it's not just like a head nod acknowledgment, she does the arm touch and smile thing. When she comes by again, I ask her if she wants to do something tomorrow and we make plans. I'm supposed to call her. So Saturday I call her up, and she has a migrane, and the next few days aren't any good because she has to work, so we kinda make vague plans for some other time."
"Dude, you dropped the ball on that one."
"Well, kinda. But there's more to the story. I see her again at the bar a few days later, and I say 'Hey, are you busy tomorrow?' And she goes, 'Naa, let's hang out.' So we go to dinner and a few days after that we're supposed to maybe do something but she never calls me back. So I just figure, whatever, you know? She's not really into me. No big deal."
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained."
"Exactly. But the other day I got this text message from her just saying 'hey what's going on?' and we texted back and forth a couple times. So now I'm wondering, does she want to be friends? does she want to hook up? does she want to date? I have no idea."
"There should be a rule about that: 'I cannot read minds. I don't know what you are thinking.' It would save so much hassle."
"No kidding."
"That's going to be a rule. I'm going to make that a rule."

But that's just part of the game...it wouldn't be interesting if there wasn't any intrigue...also...whoever this was thinks way too much...don't worry about what someone wants right off the bat...there was one date and a text...labels, or the lack there of, don't need to be placed...go with the flow...
ReplyDeleteYep that is a rule. This was the post that is finally going to make me do a rules post?
ReplyDeleteok, i get it; nobody likes this post. (some people have left "comments" in person.)
ReplyDeleteI didn't dislike the post. Seeing as, I think it should be a "rule".
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, clear communication should always be a rule. However, if I ever receive that from a man, well, let's just say I'll believe it when I see it.
