| OK so here's my sorry story.
A couple of years ago I was getting divorced, my ex moved to LA and then the company I was working for folded due to the economy. I was in free fall, my life was falling apart. At the grocery store nearby (actually a chain) there was this girl who did cooking demo's. I like cooking so I started talking to her, about cooking. She seemed to like talking to me and I found out a couple of details about her. After a couple of months maybe 3 or 4 she transferred to another store. Well to bad for me she was attractive.
I was unemployed, my savings gone, on Unemployment which only covered my house payment (and my ex thought the house was half hers but had no responsibility to pay the mortgage). I tracked her down and asked a coworker if she was seeing anyone and he said that he thought she was. Oh well, move on.
Around November of 2012 she came back to the store as a manager of the Alcohol dept. I really didn't know how happy I was to see her until later.
She is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of Rhode Island ( So cool to me). She was happier to work in the beer and wine section (burnt out after 15 years in restaurant business). Now she's getting a Masters Degree in Nutrition (so awesome, smart is sexy).
So here I am we had some conversations but shes at work so every two minutes it's "can i help you?" no continuity, all I can talk to her about is F***ing protein, Iron deficiency, Soluble fats, etc. all fascinating to her but not promoting my agenda,
One day after a HB3 was calling me (friend of family with 2 kids) I just blurted out "are you seeing anyone?" she shook her head no.
I said "Do you like sushi?" she says yes so I say " Do you want to get some sushi sometime" she says yes. She has a look of total shock the entire time. Hell I was shocked because I had no intention of asking her out that day.
Well I programmed my cell into her phone and the next day realized I hadn't made any concrete plans.
So i go back " hey I don't think I was clear, I want to see you tonight (it was Friday)" she says that she has been house sitting for friends and they are having dinner for her. So I offer to have dinner with her anytime anywhere (yes DLV) she says "i am so sweet" please just kill me. She says she is real busy (3 grad school classes and working full time, yeah she is busy) but after Feb 14 she will be less busy, she says. So I act like total ass and see her every couple of days, but didn't ask her out again. On Feb 14 I return and say let's go out but she says she is still busy, (F***K me) OK "can I get your number?" "Yes, I will give you my number"
Three calls no answer or return call, three texts no response. The last attempt to get her to answer her phone was at her work, where I constructed a false time constraint, she was hungover and gave me signals she wouldn't answer after I tried to pin her down. I still called when I said I would (what choice did I have? I told her I would call).
Now I am trying to forget hr and move on.
She seems to be happy when she sees me, seems to like talking to me, made some complementary comments about my physique.
After the last call I froze her out, didn't see her for 3 weeks, and last time was Good Friday (Mar 29)I couldn't have planned it better, she walks into the isle I'm walking down I say "HI Ch....." she replies with "HI, Happy Holiday" I say "what Holiday?" (there were a few at that time) she says "Easter!" I say over my shoulder without stopping or slowing down " Oh yeah, yeah you to" and strided off.
Now I have no idea how to proceed.
