Now, even though there wasnt any immediate attraction or anything, you and this girl kept in touch with emails, first one a week and then later almost every day. finally it moves to just using the phone and talking relatively frequently. ok, that is part one- this goes on for a few months, just friendly talking, chatting etc etc. then one day this girl moves into her own apartment and invites you to come up and visit her. keep in mind this whole time that in person you have seen her once and even then you barely talked, because the concert was going on and she wasnt all that talkative at the bar. so even barely knowing the real you, she invites you to come to her new place. since she is a college student as well as a worker, she is pretty busy and even makes mention that she is going to take off 4 days in a row from work just to spend more time with you, even though she is low on money because she just moved into a new place. she tells you about all the places she wants to take you and even tells you that she is going to cook you dinner while you are up there. ok this is where i need advice: is it just me, or would most people consider that almost like a 4 day date? i mean, this is someone you barely know and have never really interacted with in person, yet they are openly inviting you to their apartment, missing several days of work at a financial loss to themselves, and offering to cook you dinner, and not just go out to grab some fast food. (i dont know about other people, but in all of my experiences, when a woman offers you to come over for dinner, it is a date). so, if anybody was bored enough to read this, i would like to know what you think. was i wrong to assume that this was a date-like situation? i wouldnt have thought anything of the sort if it were a long time friend inviting me up, but that was not the case at all. i would like some feedback, so please privately email me at debaser@mis.net and if you are interested, i never actually went up to visit this girl because she weirded out on me and told me to please not call her and then had her friend tell me that she didnt live there anymore, and she never returned any of my mail, whether it was asking what was wrong, or apologizing. she didnt even send me a thank you for the birthday gift that i worked very hard to get for her. even 6 months later when i emailed her and told her i really missed talking to her, she chooses to not reply. oh well, there you go. i hope someone has the time to tell me what they think. thanks Colin Eliot debaser@mis.net ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Nov 1998 18:48:31 PST From: "That guy" Subject: Keep it to yourself Hello all, I just joined this list last week. So far it have proved useless for the most part. A few of you put in items that would be good for a Poe fan to know. But when you goofy bastards like Joyce Richards puts in things about baby killers I get a little angry. If you have strong feeling about this kind of thing share with people you KNOW have a intrest. I think most of us are in this for the love of music, not weather or not Spain should trade peanut oil with China. I'm done with this little rant.

So when i didnt go up, it is because she told me she didnt want to see me, apparently ever again. and for those who were curious, i am 24 and she is 20, so we are both adults- she is in college and i am a graduate, so i feel that i am pretty mature.
