So, who do I bump into in the supermarket again? Yes, you guessed it:-

We started chatting about different things and she finally asks me what my plans are. I told her I have a couple of weeks off work and didn’t have any plans. She then says, “Well send me a text or call if you want to do something”! She is off tomorrow (Saturday) and I said that I would definitely be in touch. Not only that, during the conversation we discovered her birthday is 1 day after mine and she suggested we should celebrate! It looks like this excessively long, arduous and infuriating story is finally coming to a conclusion.

You still have not called her or made definite plans. I'll believe it when I see it.

Do you have doubts about me or her?

I understand. But I can assure you, quite confidently, I will be calling her tomorrow.

Can I ask what your delay was in calling her? Was it because you weren't sure of your feelings for her or hers for you? If you were unsure if she wanted you to call her or not, what about her actions gave you the hesitation? What did she have to do to make you want to call her right away?

Hal - you are proof that some men really do need to be knocked over the head with something large and heavy to get it. This poor girl has a lot more patience than most of us, and also seems to be the one who "grew a pair" in this situation.

Don't wait until tomorrow to call. Call her today!

I agree with Jules - I'll believe it when I see it.

AJ, enjoying life with C.

I'm the one who did all the hard work. I made her want me. I'll call her tomorrow, just like I said I would.

That is a very good question. I put it down to circumstance mainly, plus I wasn’t entirely sure if she was single. We've never really had the opportunity to speak for any length of time at the gym because she is normally busy. Today at the supermarket we were both more relaxed and comfortable so the conversation flowed smoothly. I was going to ask her if she wanted to something together on her days off but she beat me to it...honestly.

And several times.
