good night hand shake?! so i've been talking to this girl i was introduced to through a mutual friend. we exchanged pics via email and have talked on and off for the past 3 weeks or so. we tried to get together during the past few weeks, but our schedules conflicted. then yesterday she calls out of the blue and somewhat nervously says that she's getting out of work early and the sitter is watching her son till the usual time, so if i'm available and into it we can get dinner and finally meet! i hesitated for moment and said "sure, that would be cool!", she seemed happy that i agreed and then we made plans. she doesn't drive, so i picked her up from work and we had about 3 hours till she had to be home. we had a really nice dinner, talked and laughed just as we did on the phone, no noticeable awkwardness at all. but when i dropped her off at her apartment she reached out her little hand and gave me a handshake?! the area she lives in made it impossible to walk her to her door, i had to sort of double park in front of her building, which she was cool with, but the handshake kinda threw me a little bit. however she enthusiastically said "cool, so now we've met, you're cool, we still got along really good, now we can do other things together and not have to worry about that first meeting etc..." then she said "call me when you get home." at first i wasn't going to call her when i got home, but my female roommate said i shouldn't play games and i should just call her, so i did, and... she didn't answer! i left a brief message and went to bed. the next day (today) i still hadn't heard from her (which is kind of normal, as she's always incredibly busy with work and or her kid) so mid day (like usual) i sent her a joking txt message about something we were laughing about, to which she replied to shortly after. later in the day/early evening i sent her a txt saying to call when she was free, but as usual that got no reply, no txt or call! but again that's not uncommon of her, she's like this super mom that spends every free moment home with her kid, and 9x's out of 10 falls asleep very early when her kid does. it's pretty much the norm for her to txt or email saying "i'll call you tonight", which in her world seems to mean in a night or two. so pretty much the weeks we've been talking have pretty much gone like this from the start. i mean we have these awesome talks and emails and then she says "i'll call you tomorrow or later" and then calls 2 or 3 days later. i know for a fact that shes not out partying or hanging with anyone else, she just has this inconsiderate thing with not calling when she says she's going to. i guess i'm kind of bummed because inside i thought after we met she'd perk up and return a call in a timely fashion like most i've known would, but no such luck... and what the heck is up with the handshake?! now i'm not even sure if i should just call her tomorrow and ask if she wants to go out this weekend? we left off saying that we should do something this weekend, but i'm not going to chase her down to make plans like some sort of desperate sucker! i know some of this doesn't paint a very pretty picture, but we get along so well, talking freely about anything and everything, laughing a lot etc... and on top of that she's insanely pretty! i'm kind of anxious to keep the ball rolling... but i dunno... i'm also apprehensive because i can see a woman like her frustrating the heck out of me with her inconsiderate ways. any feedback would be welcomed, thanks. |
