Brief update

[m_allan]

Well, it's almost time for my days off... gotta work tonight and then I'm off the next three days.  Think I'm going to try and get the video I keep talking about done, I've had a few more people actually subscribe to my youtube account, so I figure I should give them something to watch (plus I've had this project on the back burner for MONTHS now,

I've had the same phenomenon in regards to women happen to me too. I'll pursue them, they'll put me off, I'll move on, then they'll seem to be coming onto me. But of course by then I'm gunshy about making another pass. What's up with that?

I have no freaking clue. I guess it depends on the time frame.. I mean, for instance, there's a girl I used to work with at Toys R Us, and she seemed kind of nice, and again, we seemed to get along okay, so I asked her if she'd like to grab a bit to eat after work sometime. And she seemed to get nervous and, not evening looking at me, said, "I don't know." And I'm like, "Oh, well, that's fine, just you know, think it over." Then she never mentioned the subject again, so I assumed she wasn't interested. Well, weeks passed before I could even have a decent conversation with her again, she was rather quiet and standoffish around me

Wow, being friendly does NOT mean flirting by any means. I seriously hope my guy-friends don't think that. Honestly, some girls just like being nice to everyone and having fun with people, even if the friendship doesn't "evolve" (so to speak). So basically, don't be put off! And don't let it discourage you from further socializing.

I didn't think she was flirting with me, I just thought, "Hey, we seem to get a long pretty well, she's fun to talk to. I wonder if I talk to her some more outside of school... maybe I should ask for her phone number."

I dunno, that sounds sorta reasonable to me. Plus she didn't mention anything about having a boyfriend, so I figured I should take a chance.

I mean, how long should one "just talk" to someone in a public social setting before they ask for something a bit deeper as far as contact?

(shrugs)

Guessing there's no set answer to that.

[lilkittyangel]

Oh, well then I guess she got the wrong idea. Maybe there's another way you could've phrased it so she'd know all you wanted was to talk?

As for how long it takes, there really is no answer. I guess you just have to sort of pick up whatever signals the other person is sending you, which some unfortunate people like me have no ability to do sooo yeah haha.

I've given you my email address, and I haven't gotten any emails from you in a while. Also, I did respond to the message you sent in my in box last week, but I don't know if you got that. I'm not sure which email address to use to get hold of you, because I think you had a couple of them. Email me with your phone number and current email address, so I can keep in touch with you better. I can program your number into my cel as well.
Sorry about that girl. Hopefully you guys can chat, and maybe once she gets to know you better, maybe you can be friends outside of class.
Well, take care.

Well, that thing about not responding to emails was NOT addressed to you Jess. You've been pretty good about that. In fact, it's me that's been a bit lacking when it comes to communicating with you personally, I keep meaning, for instance, to call you sometime on my days off, but it seems like when I finally think about it's late at night and I'm thinking, "Ahhh, crap, she's probably asleep by now!"

Keep in mind, I work 11:30 pm to 7:30 am, and on days off, who knows what hours I keep? I can rarely stick to the same schedule...

But, I'll be in touch!

:) Us girls like to confuse guys. Eh but guys do the same to me. Never automatically assume its you. I remember telling guys I just wanted to be friends, cause the thought of more scared me..not necessiarly cause of them, just the whole thought OF MORE with anyone scared me lol. Granted I remember scaring one buy to death in Biology...he totaly became standoffish on me. So glad those days are gone (even though some days still feel like I should be back in HS)

Your mom sounds like mine...my mom hmm though is not the most nuturing type lol. But hardly ever gets excited either.

Well honestly don't think the gas stations really had to jack up the prices like they did. At least here, they got up to 5 bucks, while some gas stations stayed at 4. Which to me felt like they got greedy ..too advantage of a sad/bad situation. Granted understood a lil raise, but not almost two bucks!
