Update.
I've been promoted to manager at Kava Sutra. That's been going on for about three weeks now. I'm told that I'm doing a great job running the place. I'd like to believe that. I still say it'll be some time before I'm able to get this place squared away.
On another note, I've met someone that I really like. Unfortunately, she doesn't seem to feel the same... magnetism. She digs me. She even likes me. She's stated as much plainly, but has also made it clear that she's not looking to date or start anything like that. She has a lot going on with school and I respect that. Still, I feel like I'm getting mixed signals.
This is a nice young lady. I've developed a powerful crush and there is nothing I can do about it because life is stupid that way. I can't seem to meet anyone. I'm trying to remove myself from the situation before I get my feelings hurt (again), as I seem to be so prone to. I think it may be better to just back away now instead of chasing after a bus that will never stop for me.
It's such a shame. We'd make a great couple. Seriously. I'm not the only one that thinks so. Our mutual acquaintences ask why we aren't dating... like it's my fault.
We've been out on a couple dates. I would count two of them as dates. (Dinner was involved). I asked her out to dinner again this week.
Part of me feels like she's been hurt a lot and this may take time. The other side, the cold, logical, wounded side, says that she's just using me for whatever reason women seem to use and discard me. It seems most commonly to be related to emotional support.
I guess I'm just frustrated because I know that if I wait around, there is literally no chance that she'll ever come around. If I try and be charming and bend the situation to my will, it'll explodee in my stupid face, like always. So I can stand around, looking good and being good, and being myself and wait for the no one waiting just around the corner, or I can try and find a unicorn in a world that clearly doesn't believe in magic or love or miracles anymore.
It sucks being a romantic holdover in the new millienium.
