Well guys, here is the update.
Went out tonight, got off to a little bit of a bad start with me being late (miscommunication this time, although i have admitted that being late is one of my problems). Talked on the phone briefly before picking her up. On my way to pick her up i was totally ready to say "WTF was with the attitude on the phone??" And as soon as she got in the car, we started talking about that. I said above line, and she countered, it went back and forth all the way to the parking lot of the restaurant. Then we both apologized (ie. she has a thing with people being late, and no matter what, it seems i am always late).
So, had a good dinner, lots of C+F from me, lots of flirting and some kino, then over the video store to pick up "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", which btw, is an excellent flick. Back to her place, where we chatted and ended up taking pictures of each other with her digicam. At this point, i thought, "man, this rocks"and gave her a smack on the ass when the opportunity arose. No real reaction good or bad, she just smiled. I took some pics of her in various (non sexual, i tried tho) poses, and then she asked me to snap a pic of her butt, which i obviously didnt turn down
Then, watched the movie.
She sat on the same couch (she always does), but just far enough away to make any sort of coincidental kino or intimacy a little more difficult. I stretched my arm out over the couch, played with her hair a bit, no real response. Ended the night with conversation by the door and a few hugs. Now, she said a few things during the night which (AGGHHH!!!) made me think.
1) "I just CANT figure you out" - she says this ALL the time, usually with a smile on her face or after she laughs about something i say. Im not ashamed to say i can be pretty funny, and it works on her quite nicely. Obivously the mystery seems to be there, and she is liking it.
2) "Just for future reference, you should think about trying to be on time for any woman you end up dating" - It would seem to me this is possibly a qualifying thing. The way it was said really made me think that, anyway. Dunno, maybe she is trying to mold some of my bad habits out before taking the plunge?? Hmmmmmmm.....
3) She mentioned a few times that i am THE ONLY person, never mind guy, that she has over on a regular basis. She loves spending time with me, because "i have so much fun with you". She made it pretty obvious that she makes special concessions to spend time with me, and enjoys every moment.
I really think that she is still qualifying me. She told me a while back (when i told her how i felt......i KNOW, i know), that it wasnt going to happen 'right now'.
Lemme be straight up guys. Yeah, maybe i DO overanalyze sometimes, but really, even for a DJ, there is a woman that comes along every once in a while that you are damn near powerless to resist. She doesnt tip her hand often, but she does show the signs here and there. Im not gonna lie, i have a bit of one-itis with her. Guys, i have been with MORE than my fair share of women, and she has been on my mind thru 2 girlfriends and is still going strong. It is a REAL challenge to stay cool the whole night when i am with her. She always tells me "ask me anything you want, i will always tell the truth", but i dont always believe that. To me, some of these things she does are so obvious, that it would be hard for her to deny with a straight face, but women still do it. Sh*t, she even told me a few weeks ago that she always knew she would marry a tall, blonde, blue eyed guy (which, btw, is my profile EXACTLY). AHHHH!!!
I did mention during the night all the chicks i have been hanging out with, giving just enough info to keep the competition going (hopefully). She mentioned guys she has talked to, mostly thru chatrooms, etc. She consistently says that she doesnt want to date anyone, and that she says this to all the guys she chats/talks to. I, of course, acted unfazed.
One way or another, this might take some time, if it is going to happen at all. She most definitely is into me, she thoroughly enjoys being with me, and laughs like a banshee at my jokes and humor. I guess the key (still), is to keep the kino going and still be aloof and detached, which is a real challenge when i am with her. But honestly, this kinda sucks. I wish i could kinda put the whole thing on fast forward, and i wish she would give me some more obvious verbal hints. It always feels like she is just about ready to crack and jump into my arms, but it hasnt happened yet.
Well , there it is guys, feel free to comment, flame, etc.
