| Hello all!
I'll keep this short, well as short as possible. So, my previous posts were about a girl from work. I canned that and moved on to reconnecting with two sisters (twins) that I worked with about 6 years ago.
So I reconnected, agreed a "catchup" and we a had a great time. One (#1) is in a LTR of four years but was very keen (all the usual IOI's, and I mean major IOI's) and the other was single. The one who is in a LTR is more dominant, forceful and expressive. The other is shy, reserved and single (#2). Obviously, this is the one I'm trying to figure out, ha. For the record, on the first meet, #2 left early as she was tired. As soon as she went, #1 hinted three times that she was single in general conversation. #1 was uncomfortably attracted to me at times though, saying how good I looked, what a great person I was and body language wise, it was probably the most overt signs of attraction I've seen! (I won't go into all of it, but it ticks almost every box, ha_
Anyway, after the meet, (#2) FB's me and says it was great meeting me again and would I like to go round to her sisters with her, #1 and #1's boyfriend the following week. I say yes, but midweek, I don't really contact (I got ill but I could have at least said something earlier). Anyway, midweek, I say that I'm better and would they like a drink. We agree a time and on the day, #2 messages and says can we rearrange for the next day. I say I'm busy (I'm not) and could we reschedule. We reschedule for the following week. Before I finish, I give her my number and she responds by giving me hers.
Anyway, we meet again the following week and it goes very well with both #1, #1's boyfriend and #2. #2 is now showing obvious signs of interest and we're both hinting at potential future plans (this restaurant, that place etc etc). Curiously, we're being left alone together at moments by the #1 and #1's BF at some points in the evening. I'm not applying any kino as of yet but I'm negging her, building rapport, doing all the usual stuff and DHV. I've then got an invite out for the weekend (though I say I can't make it, which I genuinely can't) and to a halloween party. Between us all, there's a lot of talk about meeting up and doing things together as a group, just like the first meet.
Now, after meeting two with them I'm absolutely sure I've got this in the bag. I've built comfort and now. Ha, whoops. So, we agree to meet before the halloween party on Thursday and on the day, I send a reminder. #2 responds that she's busy helping her sister getting the flat ready before the party (Friday). She cancels and says she's looking forward to seeing me tomorrow. I leave it at that and don't question the flake. (Oh, I forgot to mention, #1 sometimes responds on behalf of her on Facebook - wtf is that all about?)
I go to the halloween party and #2 meets me outside. We chat a little together and go upstairs. I met #1's boyfriends friends and the best friend of #1 and #2. Curiously, #1 pays me far more attention than #2 and even kino's me at every opportunity! I do manage to strike up a decent conversation with #2 for a good 15-20 minutes at the party and flirt some more (a little kino as well etc)... Then, off she goes again. Curiously, during a chat with #1, I find out that she goes on dates with #2! (not with her, but as a "group" thing).
Later, I meet her best friend and she comes up again and tells her friend that I'm the funniest guy she knows, staring at me and now touching my shoulder... and it appears her friend knows about me already.
Meh, anyway - I was told I should stay round by #1, #1's BF but I couldn't - I had work in the morning and it was late. I make my excuses, say goodbye to everyone. #2 and me are now in the hallway, and we hug goodbye. Someone interrupts briefly. We hug again after and then I ask her how to get out of the place (huge apartment complex). She joins me outside and shows me to the lifts. We're there for a good minute or so, talking. All this time I'm thinking (escalate) but I don't feel like I've been given enough interest to do so.
Lift beeps, I get in and we say goodbye again.
Her sister FB's me on Saturday (using her login again) and thanks me for their halloween "gifts" and hopes that I had a good time. I don't reply til late as I was at work. Later, on Sunday, I FB #2 and she responds immediately. Anyway, we have a good chat and we agree to go out this Thursday (today). She "can't wait" and is "really looking forward to it" and I leave it at that as I don't want to be an annoying, clingy turd.
Midday, I get a message she can't meet me as she has a meeting a work. (BTW, she works at the same place in the same dept as her sister). I'm pretty pissed about this as it's pretty much the third time now but I've just responded with;
"Hi XXXX, that's fine, hope you're well too. If you've got to go to that meeting then that's what you've got to do - no biggie on my part. Let me know if/when you'd like to meet again in the future. XXXXX would be nice one day. Take care and all the best to you both!"
And left it at that. Now, I know she's shy and she doesn't seem to have a great deal of self-esteem and is one of those people that let's things bother her etc (complete opposite to her sister, #1) but this is never really going to move forward if this keeps happening. It's been very even with regards to agreeing to meet up so I'd gauge there's some interest (laughing, increase in kino, increase in IOI's) there but I don't know where else to go with this.
Mentally, I'm trying to write this off but part of me thinks I'm been hasty, especially as how things are developing. Shame really, I was going to whisk her away tonight (isolate).
FFS. Anyone, any ideas?
