the saga continues.
I've hung out with the crush girl a couple of times after I made dinner for her. I've gotten to know her better somewhat. She's got a PhD and cures brain cancer, with a solid background in all the biology that implies (previously known to me). She is a strong follower of football, the Iowa Hawkeyes in particular. She is also active in her church, a variant of Catholicism.
In short, she comes from a subculture that I've spent much of the last 20 years avoiding. This probably in part explains why I have such a hard time reading her. At this point, it still remains unclear to me that she is aware of my interest in her (everyone I've spoken to tells me this is unlikely to be true, more or less that I am delusional...).
I'm definitely interested in this girl and I'm definitely out of my league with her... but, then again, there is no spoon (Matrix reference which has been on my mind lately).
--
I also know she will be in town for the next 5-6 months and is seeking employment in Germany for after then. I suspect this is plenty of time to begin to get to know her. I'm not looking for a short-term relationship, so I will have to sort out what this means at some point if negotiations continue.
