A few months back I met a HB9 at a one-off taster dance course. She seemed real keen and agreed to a date soon (instadate wasn't possible), but of course cancelled it on the day. Eventually she began contacting me for help translating short letters into English (she's a translator) and I would only oblige after day long pauses in communication, very matter-of-fact and aloof. I asked her out once or twice, to exciting events, and she always said she was busy with work, which isn't a lie but of course the age old rule that we're never busy for who we really wanna see applies in spades here. Eventually I deleted her number.
So suddenly one day she calls me and I answer this unknown number, and don't recognize her voice, which was amusing. She says she can be over to my town that night, to "make a phone call overseas she needs my help with". Seeing what looks like my only chance to meet her again I agree. I met her in a public place, lots of stares, lots of murmurs between people who know me and have never seen me with a girl (I'm on an unbelievably long dry spell, epic is the word). The phone conversation which was supposed to happen, couldn't for technical reasons, so I bar hopped with her (she offered to pay which is a big red flag here in Italy, folks say) and we had a drink, chilled out. Escalating was actually a lot harder than I expected, as she acted pleasant but wasn't throwing IOIs out. It seemed awful pointless to put my arm around her, you know? When I walked her to her car some beggar came up for "parking money" (everyday occurrence) so being in an OK mood I gave him a couple Euros change, because he "saw how weak I was", in her immediate subsequent words. Ouch. If you don't pay these fools, your car tends to vanish next time! She'd even left her dog in the car because she "was only supposed to be fifteen minutes" with me (we spent around 90). So I forgot about her, asking her out to an exclusive event a month later, being told "maybe" and then nothing.
All logic says forget about her, but she occasionally texts or calls, which NO uninterested girl does, NONE at all, zero. I asked her out for the final time this Sunday, she declined, then calls me today for another translation favour (only a two minute task, but it's the principle that counts). I only picked up because I thought she might wanna hang-out, and lo and behold she just wants to use me as usual, and offer nothing in return. I did the translation in a couple minutes, and she hasn't thanked me yet. Should I just ignore that or ****y funny call her out on it, before adding after she thanks me "only kidding, just send me a quarter paycheck Goodbye" which should hopefully give her the right idea? She seems only interested in my English, but sometimes contacts me to ask how I am.
To keep me "sweet"?
