Thanks for Playing!

Unless a guy grabs my shoulders and says, "I like you," I'm pretty clueless about how he feels about me. Obviously over time I clue in, but on that first date, I have no chance. I'm just really bad at picking up on signs.

For example, one time in 9th grade I was waiting in line for Millenium Force at Cedar Point with my friend and two brothers, and this incredibly hot guy was standing in front of us. My friend and I were staring him down the entire time, trying to catch his eye. (We would prowl the park trying to find cute boys to ride the rollercoasters.) Anyway, we're making it very obvious we think he's cute, and after an hour in line, we get to the front, and he turns to our group, and I think, This is it. I knew he couldn't resist my Abercrombie cargo short-shorts and baby blue tank top. He steps directly in front of me, faces my older brother and says, "So are you guys brothers?"

I got the hint. Whitesnake didn't. One can usually tell after the first date what's to come of the relationship because you either are asked out again or not. And for guys, it's clear based on whether or not she accepts. But apparently Whitesnake scoffs at that practice, because since I canceled our jam session, he has texted and called about 6 times. I returned one call, but luckily he didn't answer, my sanity came back from its lunch break and I haven't replied since.

Yesterday he texted, "Hola - still interested in getting together?" Wow, hola? Whitesnake you animal! That's the most personality he's shown since we've met. It's a good thing he's cute.

I implemented the straight fade, and didn't reply.
