Addenda, more IOI (or not?)
* She, me and one other guy grabbed fast food. Initially I wasn't going to get anything, proclaiming not hungry but later admitting to him (she prob overheard?) it was because I had set very ambitious savings goals (>1/4 monthly income as savings). She insisted on getting me something, so I accepted and just had what she was having. I didn't want to go to cheap, and I definitely didn't want to go to expensive.
* I also forgot to mention that before the party where she flirted with everyone except me (although maybe I didn't take advantage of one opportunity where she was maybe trying to start something up with me. Should I take advantage of such opportunities?), over dinner with a third friend and while that friend was away, she said very quietly to me that she really liked me and thought I was <dammit forget the exact complimentary adjective>. My response to this was just "thank you", ala "The Game", but I think I weakened that horribly by shortly after quietly admitting I thought she was as well.
* On the long walk back to her house we had a long conversation about life, how it is so short and you should just go for it. I shared a story of how I was really badly injured in a car crash one time, and touched her hand to a scar. We talked about it and recovering from it, and also her life. So we've done all the deep talking thing, and like I said, when we got to her house and she said to come into her room I was very hopeful, but then I guess I screwed it up... Any ideas/thoughts on exactly how?
* She talks a lot to me about how she has this really hot chemistry with another guy who dances too.
* And thinking back on the flirting with other guys/could have taken any of them home, she said to me and a fourth guy that that would have been too easy, that it was boring. Was this a coded message of some kind to me??? Confused!!!
I'm finding this whole PUA/technology approach so useful. Even not counting the feedback people get, just sitting down and writing and analysing and thinking about it all is so handy!
