welp, even though I decided to go with the flow after all, I couldn't help but confront her about past comments. I suprised her in the middle of a conversation by saying "Which reminds me, what the hell did you mean by 'nothing can come from our attraction to each other'?"
She hung her head, smiled, and said "You're over-analyzing. Let me play that role." I said "I believe you're mistaken, I'm supposed to over-analyze shit. I can show you a webpage where I've been debating with people exactly how to approach our situation."
She laughed again and said "Okay, well.. I just think it's something that needs to just 'happen' on it's own, ya know? I'm still with him right now.. (her boyfriend of 2 years whom she rarely speaks of). Oh damn, look at that fat bitch, we'll hire anybody these days.."
"Stop changing the subject," I said.
"No," she said. "Let's look at the skrippas!"
"Seriously," I said, ignoring her. "Things are great like they are now."
"True," she said, nodding and blank-faced.
me: "I just want to know you want this to be more, because as I said before when you let your hints at deeper feelings slip over the phone, I felt kinda guilty, as though I was holding out on you. If I am, you gotta tell me straight up, because we're only just now showing signs of frustration with each other."
"See this?" she said. "I'm blushing. I don't know what to say."
"I just want you to know I'm not gonna push anything on you, because I don't know if you feel like you'd be happier with having a friendship that's as open as this, or if you're more interested in calling it a day and getting straight to the point. You can pretend I'm not talking about this right now, but I know I'm gonna feel better about it now, regardless of your response."
She didn't answer, so I poked her crotch and walked away.
The rest of the day was like every other, just more flirtatious nonsense. Unless we make plans for Sunday or Monday, I won't see her again til Wendsday. I'm counting on avoiding her until then, just to give her some time to think about what I said.
