| HB9 and HB10 are best friends, met them both a year ago. They go to two different colleges each a little over an hour away so they're not in town often, but we exchanged numbers and linked up on Facebook, so we're in contact semiregularly. When they come to town they get in touch and we try to hang. They're an interesting pair because they're two completely different kinds of hot. I was always into 10, and she and I had really strong physical chemistry, so we were always laughing and touching and dancing on each other. Wasn't particularly interested in 9, but she and I have much more in common and have similar humor styles. Actually at first I found her really annoying and had little patience for her, so we developed this kind of bickering mock dislike, and are always goofing on each other. We laugh a ton when we're together, and she would always get pouty when I paid too much attention to 10.
We went out dancing when they visited for the holidays, and as usual I was all about 10, and laughing with 9 when she was around. That night suddenly 9 became REALLY aggressively flirty, got really physical and would follow me around and hold my hand and get really jealous if I was with 10 for too long. I isolated 10 for a long time for conversation and kino, and I went in for a kiss and she very clearly pulled away. Hindsight being what it is, I think now maybe she knew that 9 was into me, because 9 ended up spending the rest of the evening with me.
9 excitedly informed me a couple weeks ago that they were coming to town and expected to be taken dancing. I had other plans and I was actually able to shift things around, but I told her I wasn't available to see if she'd throw a fit. She in fact threw a very satisfying fit, so I pretended to make a great effort to move things around so we could meet. She felt suitably special, and I knew 100% that she and I were gonna hook up that night.
She called and texted me all evening trying to get me to arrive earlier. (When I said I couldn't and she was turning me off she responded "Dick come now" and later admitted she wrote it that way on purpose lol.) When I got there, she was psyched to see me. 10 hung back, and the whole night 9 and I were REALLY intense. Tons of push-pull and heat, and we ended up making out all over the club.
We left together and she asked where I live, which I know meant I should invite her to my place. But, I live with my parents right now and it just wasn't possible, so I said I live a decent drive in the opposite direction. I realize I took a loss there, but I didn't see a way around it. I tried to get her to go to a diner and hang for a while, and she said she was tired and needed to go home. She drove me to my car (I was parked far away) and we made out in her car for a while.
The next day I called her; no return call. I've sent a couple short texts over the last two weeks, and IMed her once on Facebook--nothing. I texted 10 last week with a question about something, and she didn't respond either. I've clearly been frozen out but I don't get why. It's not like I took advantage of some sudden occurrence that night--this was building for a year and had clearly been escalating since Christmas, and naturally over the course of that night. Since we were friends before this happened, and since the interest was mutual and genuine, I really didn't see this being a problem, AND I wouldn't have done it if I'd thought it would end with us not talking. I'm out of ideas, and don't even get what's happened. Thoughts?
