Second Date Ideas

[carl1222]

I just don't quite see how that's possible, man. I mean, I called her on Sunday. No return call. I called her last night with message, still no return call. Needless to say, I'm rather dumbfounded.

So am I ... that's why I think there is probably a good explanation. Don't even think about Sunday ... she may not even check caller ID.

Well, it was her cell phone, so it would show missed calls. But yeah, I am just truly confused. Considering she initiated the cuddling on the couch and kissed me back at the end of the night. Hmm...

[carl1222]

Blowing you off now after how well things have gone between you makes absolutely no sense in this universe Greek. There just has to be a better explanation.

[vashti]

It's possible she's just crazy. (teenage girl, you know.)

or she is busy.

Give me the timeframe again... when was your last date, when did you last speak to her, and how many times have you called her since you last spoke?

I hope you're right. I'm done calling though. It's her turn.

Yes, it is her turn.

Date was Saturday night. I called her Sunday night. She didn't answer, I didn't leave a message. I called her again Tuesday night, left a message. So I've called her twice since Saturday.

[vashti]

Yes, but you didn't leave a message one of those times, so I only count that as one legitimate call.

I'd probably try her one more time (not until maybe the weekend), and then forget her.

Don't be too hard on yourself. You got some great experience, and you can learn a lot from this.

Winnar!

That about explains them all.

As for why she didn't call, I have no idea. Is this girl from school or somewhere you might run into her?

[TheGreek]

She's a sophomore at another high school. She lives like 1.5 miles a way from me though, if that. I doubt I'll run into her again. I ended up at a Halloween party with a bunch of kids from her school, but practically none from mine, until a couple of my boys showed up.

Yeah, I did learn some things. I learned how to play the game. I lost a little bit of my shyness/fear of initiating physical contact. Ehh, maybe that's what I get for trying to work something out with a girl who's a sophomore when I'm a senior.

[TheGreek]

Well, she did call me back. She called me at abou 10:30 this morning. I'm not going to school for the first half of the day due to food poisoning and she was at home as well. We had a brief chat, but she had to run and said, "I'll talk to you soon." I was thinking about calling her tonight and scheduling the Christmas light thing for Saturday. Or do you think I should wait another week before doing so? Thanks y'all.

[carl1222]

You know, it's possible that she may have a busybody friend at home advising her not to be too available.

I hope not, because if both of you are trying to finesse this, you may well "out cool" each other out of what seemed to be a promising new relationship between two great people.

I'm like the Godfather ... I insist on getting bad news as soon as possible. Call her tonight and ask her out for Saturday night. Leave a message if necessary. If she persists in delaying talking with you or acting more distant than appropriate, you have your answer ... just back off.

Hope you are feeling better.

Carl.

Meh, I'd probably wait until next weekend.

I can see Carl and I are of differing opinions on this.

[TheGreek]

Hmm...Decisions decisions. Now I don't know what to do. I mean you both make good points and vashti was a teenage girl once. She called me back and now I'm still just as confused as before Thanks guys.

True vashti, but neither of us seem to be too strongly so.

Carl.
