I was gonna wait and see how things pan out but I could use some feedback anyways. I sent CG a facebook message on Friday just to say hey and see how she was coming along with my "Lost" DVDs (By the way...I didn't really mention but they aren't even mine. I borrowed them from a friend to loan to her...so I have to get them back!)
Anyways, she IMed me and said she was getting close to the end and we should hang out again to watch the finale together. Yay. I asked how she was adjusting to the area and we chatted for a while. I decided to take an aggressive approach and said she should come to Pensacola and I'd show her the town and stuff. She reacted positively, said she'd really like that. I said I'd call on the weekend and we'd plan to get together, she said Monday and Tuesday were good for her. Tuesday is my off day so that works.
I was thinking this was going to be brilliant, I could have her over Tuesday and show around town and then go back to my house. I even moved the friggin couch so that its the only seat in the living room that faces the TV now (I know. Shut up.). I then called on Sunday and she didn't pick up. I left a message. Never got a response.
I'm going to try her again after work and if I get no response I'm done. I don't want to be that annoying kid that keeps bugging the girl who isn't interested.
Sorry this update sucks. When I said updates coming soon it was before she didn't return my call and I thought I had a master plan mapped out.
Hang on. "Never got a response,".... from YESTERDAY?!?!!?
If it was a week ago, I get it.
Yesterday though, she might have been out doing something that got her home late. Then she's doing stuff today, or thinks you are, and is planning to call tonight. I mean, has it even been 24 hours? Maybe in her mind you made a plan and it's still on, and she'll call when she calls. If she's a woman of her word, she may not think a big reconfirmation is required.
I say give it until tonight, maybe even tomorrow morning. Then I'd email or text, "We still on?" and that'd be the last thing I ever communicated.
She's not rude yet if you left the message any time yesterday.
Squid I see how that sounded weird. When we last talked I said I'd call on the weekend to find out what day we were going to hang out (between Monday and Tuesday). With today being Monday I was hoping to get a response by now (namely because my house is a train wreck). I called Sunday at 1. Probably shoulda called earlier but I was slammed at work and then a little drunk on Saturday.
ETA: Kohs, that would be AWESOME. I wish I had the balls to do it.

Theo, Theo, Theo... What are we gonna do with you man? From now on the only calling you should be doing is with Mr. Johnson. Capiche? You've already got one foot in the friend zone and if you don't exchange your foot for your cock, very soon, it aint gonna happen.
You gotta do your fucking, during the good fucking years. You gotta do it while fucking is still higher on your list of priorities than napping. Fuck, or get off the pot!
I don't care what kind of wrath this brings down, but Cory? Srsly. These guys are just trying to live vicariously through you and the advice.... uhhh ... not so much.
In fact, I think it is disgusting. This thread is dead to me. Start a new one Cory, where the girls can give you advice you can ACTUALLY use.
If I start a new thread the same thing will happen. But feel free to dispense any advice you'd like!
To me there are two types of girls that I'll go out with: The ones I hang out with just to have fun with but have no intention of actually dating (I don't really sleep around. Insert all the jokes and whatever you want but that's just who I am.), and the girls who I want to stick around hopefully pursue a relationship with. CG falls squarely into category #2. I'm trying not to be too aggressive for that reason. Slow and steady wins the race, right?
I think I'm gonna order pizza for dinner because I'm not really much of a cook. I got a "C" in cooking class.
Jack: "If they want to drink Merlot, we're drinking Merlot."
Miles "Raymond: No, if anyone orders Merlot, I'm leaving. I am NOT drinking any fucking Merlot!"
Joke or not - it had a major effect on the Merlot market for about three years:
From Wiki:
Sideways Impact on wine industry
Throughout the film, Miles speaks fondly of the red wine varietal Pinot Noir, while denigrating Merlot.[6][7] Following the film's U.S. release in October 2004, Merlot sales dropped 2% while Pinot Noir sales increased 16% in the Western United States.[7] A similar trend occurred in British wine outlets.[7][8] Sales of Merlot dropped after the film's release[9][10][11] possibly due to Miles' disparaging remarks about the varietal in the film.[9][12]
Hold up, did she stop being a friend at all or did the display of manly eating cause her to become more. That may be what he's looking for...
And seconding the no pizza. Unless that's what she wants. She's coming over at 3? Offer to order in whatever she likes... (hmm. she may be there now. this may all be too late.)
It caused her to become JUST a friend. There was a lot of flirtation going back and fourth - and then she came over that night to discover me with ruffles crumbs on my shirt and wine breath - and the flirtation stopped... forever... blast!
I was thinking the story would have been a good tale of encouragement if the dinner of chips and wine had caused her to rip her top off at the door. Sorry...
Theo - it's time for Yellow Tail Shiraz and a big bag of ruffles.
Sorry man.
And Girlie and Liu - it totally bothered me at the time. But, I was 19 and insecure and wanted attention from girls at any cost. I've seen her a few times since then - and am very aware of how much better I can do that her.
