So a brief back story before I write about this most recent encounter. Not too long ago I was re-united with an acquaintance from high school. We'll call her HBItalian. I met her in high school through a couple of my friends and recently when hanging out with the same friends she showed up. Was instantly attracted to her, but held back because she had just gotten into a relationship and my friends requested me too. Lost touch for a few months, than ran into her again with the same friends, and low and behold she was single again; but I held back again because one of my good friends had already been at the bar and had started hitting on her. My friend kind of fucked her over when he found out he wasn't going to get a full close.
And that brings us to the present:
We all went out last week as a big group (the only guy besides me was a friends boyfriend). I broke off from everyone else and went out on my own for two reasons: 1) I wanted to sarge and 2) It was so crowded everywhere we went you couldn't turn around with out tripping over someone and elbowing three other people in the face. I was determined to find a bar that had a few less people in it and didn't have 4 guys for every girl, but it just wasn't in the cards. I met up with them shortly after breaking off from them and we decided to get one more drink and call it a night.
While we were at the last bar, I started talking to HBItalian again. We were laughing and I did a little cold reading for her and for the obstacle. She was eating it up. I successfully isolated and started to run the cube when we were interrupted by everyone else and it was time to go. I changed cars on the way back to ride in her car since she was going to be the DD. We had some great fluff talk and I found out that we have a lot more in common than I first thought. When we got back, she said she was just going to head home for the night. I made arrangements to give her a call in a couple days and we'd try to get together.
This is the conversation that ensued a few days later (via text):
ME: What are you doing when you get off work tonight? A friend of mine is having a party and I want you and ________ to come.
HB: We're going to __________ house (my sister of all the people to cock block) tonight! Sorry!
ME: I'll have to see when I'm going to have some free time this week then. (We never did have official plans)
HB: Cool!
ME: And when we do get together, I have a CD that you have to listen to, with some of the bands you gave me, I think you'll like the sound. (goes back to the fluff talk we had and a lot of what we had in common)
HB: OK! Cool!
A few days later...
ME: Are you going to be on campus on Tuesday around noon?
...And nothing.
It has been going back and forth like this for a while. Just when things start going good, she drops off the face of the planet until our next random meeting. I almost want to take the caveman method literal and just club her over the head and drag her back to my cave!
