OK, here’s the latest update on the saga with that girl. For those of you haven’t been following my series of threads, (or those who have, and aren’t already bored out of your freakin’ mind with them), here is the background info. Reading it is optional, but if you still want to know…

So anyway, she calls me up at 10:30 tonight to ask me if I’d like to hang out. I told her no, because I had a lot of homework to do (which was true, but it could have waited). I had been planning to turn her down next time she called anyway, because I wanted it to appear that I had a life (a tactic that I learned on this board, thank you very much). As she was about to let me go, I asked how her friend was doing. I had been planning on doing this too, because as I mentioned before, her friend seemed to be dropping hints that she liked me, but I totally didn’t pick up on them at the time. She then asks me “So do you like her?” I believe I said something to the effect of “yeah, she’s cool”, not wanting to reveal too much.
So her next question was “Do you have a crush on her?” (Seriously, this girl has a knack for asking questions I’m not sure how to answer.) After a brief pause, I simply said, “I think she’s an attractive girl.” I don’t remember her response exactly, but I went on to say “I bet a lot of guys would think she’s attractive.” (I may have said a bit too much here; wouldn’t want her friend getting all big headed.) I believe I remember her asking if I thought she, herself, was attractive. I said “sure”, because what was I supposed to say? (For the record she is a very pretty girl. I initially asked her for her number—didn’t she remember?) Although I probably could have gone with a little bit of sarcasm, such as “You’re absolutely hideous” or something to that effect, but it didn’t occur to me at the time (gotta learn to think quicker). Anyway she asks if I’d like her to hook me up with her friend. I said “Yeah, sure—I’ll try anything once.” She said, “That’s a good motto.” She asks me for input on how she should do it.“Should I be smooth about it?”, she asks. I said, “Just do whatever is in your bounds”. She continues, “Would it be in my bounds to tell her you’re into S&M?” I said, “I wouldn’t want her to think I’m a freak”. She replies “me either.”
She goes on to say how last time her friend was all excited that we’d be hanging out. I said I was flattered. She mentions that she doesn’t want her friend to know she told me this. I actually suspected that her friend likes me, but since I didn’t pick up on the signals until after the fact, I thought I had blown my chances yet again. She also mentions that her friend suspected I liked her (the girl I am talking to), instead. She asks “Do you like me?” Again, not wanting to reveal too much, I said, “Yeah, I guess. You’re an attractive girl.” She says “oh, thank you!” and really seems happy with the compliment. (I would think she’d be used to getting compliments like that. Or maybe she is, but just likes the attention. Anyway, I was actually just trying to think of something to say.) I remember saying "What's with all the questions?", although I don't quite remember her response. And I believe that's pretty much the whole phone call, or at least as much as I can remember. It was actually pretty brief.
Now I’m not really concerned about it right now, but I’m still interested to know how people think I handled it. I think it may even be amusing to see how things turn out. I realize though, that maybe when she asked if I’d like her to hook me up, I should have said I could handle it myself. But you know, it was the spur of the moment; a girl offers to hook me up with her cute friend, whom I suspect likes me anyway—that’s quite tough to resist! But I guess I’ll just make a note of it, in case something like that happens again. Anyway, hope you’re still enjoying my story. Hopefully the next chapter will be coming up soon.

I like it how you probably got her thinking, "does he like my friend? Or does he like me? He's so hard to read!"
