Wait a Sec
I just re-read that last post. The part in which I write something about how being pen pals is good enough is not entirely true.
But it's not false, either. Hang with me on this. I'm not lying to myself when I say that. But in the back of my mind when I trade regular "hey, pal, how's it goin'" e-mails with Sarah, there's a part of me thinking that I want someone who is more to me than a pen pal or occasional lunch or dinner companion. And because she's top of mind, she's on the top of the list of potential girlfriends.
I'm sure that clarifies things.
Like crackers in broth.

Ask Sarah out on a more "date-like" date, if you haven't already. She obviously likes you. Just how much or in what way (friends or more than that), you'll need to find out. How? Make a move, kiss her...then you'll know... :P
Now I've got that "Sara Smile" song in my head now...
Sorry. I'm 'spamming' you today. LOL. I meant to clarify something. If she's at the top of your list of potential girlfriends and you're not sure if you want someone (or her, even) as something more, then I think you should still make a move anyway. Then you'll both know what to make of your chemistry.
I don't think she likes me as much as I think that because I freely bleat on about myself that she can unload a lof of her brain droppings on me. Fair enough.
I try to ask for more "date-like" meetings but she puts me off. What's odd is that she seems to hint sometimes that she wants them too. That's what so confusing.
I had a minor part in a short independent film a couple of months ago. It was being screened in town and I asked Sarah if she wanted to go. She was booked that night, she said, but "I would like to see a real movie with you."
So of course, next time I could make an excuse to raise the subject, I asked if she'd like to go to a movie.
Oh, no, I couldn't, she says in so many words. I have this and that and the other thing and I'll be busy all week and weekend.
OK, fine.
Then the next week we trade e-mails and near the end of the week she lets me know she's been off of work all week.
Well, crap! If she really had an interest, wouldn't she have at least let me know she had some free time to fill?

hmmm...that behavior sounds a little bizarre...
just a thought...Maybe she's getting over someone else? Or has she just gotten out of a tough relationship.
Sometimes women act like that when they're afraid of getting involved again...
She did have a rough break-up with a guy she was living with. The way she tells it, he broke up with her without warning. I know it was tough for her. Maybe that's it.
