Over thinking, over analyzing, separates the body from the mind
...says Maynard James Keenan in the song Lateralus.
I sent her a message before the weekend. Nothing special, just 'like to get to know you better'. Her reply wasn't exactly what I expected, but she didn't turn me down either. So I thought, well, I'm not going to get anywhere like this, at least not for weeks/months. I knew giving up wasn't an alternative, so I asked myself "you know what to do, give it to me by the time I've finished working out". That I did, took a shower and laid down in bed listening to the forementioned song. Suddenly it just struck me "show her your most attractive qualities". Great I thought, now I'll just have to wait for the reply from yesterday and I'll tell her that.
Of course, by a stroke of 'coincidence' she didn't reply me that day, and on top of that a colleague told me she was already seeing someone up here, although not seriously. That didn't knock me down either, thought "this is part of it". Went home once again, same routine, and it all came to me. The whole thing, exactly what I had to write.
Well, now she's very interested. She wouldn't go out with me, yet, because of the other guy, but that's a mere formality in my eyes. Damn, this feels great.
Thanks to all the insightful people on this forum for helping me sort out a lot of details and questions. Nothing's gonna stop me now.
