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.

And bells and a marching band.

Hey guys, *support*
seriously Hal, call her. Now. Get off the computer, pick up the phone and dial.
But good luck!

So, I text, then she text, then I text, then...she text...then.... I text and then she text, then we met and spent the day together. Later that evening she sent another text thanking me for an enjoyable day.

Technically you are right. I didn't actually call. I sent a text asking for a convenient time to call but we ended up arranging everything by text in the space of 10 minutes.

Thanks, Ruby. I have not been on the net since I posted that and, yes, my doubts are about Hal's ability to step up and follow through.

Wimpier than calling, but at least you finally made plans with her and followed through. Since she was willing to put up with all of that, she may have the patience needed for your style of dating. So - how was it when you spent the day together? Did you make a connection?

Yes. I'm curious to know that as well.
Were there sparks? Intrigue? Do you think you'd go out again with her, Hal?

Strange. You call it patience, I call it interest....

But I am mistaken anyway, I don't believe this will be going anywhere.
