Went out to the pub tonight.Discovered that a girl I was eying is seeing someone. Luckily I haven't made any moves.Still it's fucking annoying when this happens. Because it seems to happen a lot.
Maybe it was
because you hadn't made any moves? He who hesitates is lost, after all. Not that I'm saying I'm a legendary pantsman, but if I don't do anything about it I also don't tend to lose sleep angsting about "what might have been". I add here that I'm not having a go at you about it, just pointing out differences in attitudes.
Just come to Australia and talk all Frenchy at our women and they will be on their backs faster than you can say "voulez-vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?" (spelling is only my best guess)

Asked this girl out...been working up to it all week. Figure that the Cup Day long weekend will make it a shoe-in.Wrong. Her schedule is packed.I tried to take it with good grace, but I'm just getting sick of this. I look forward to this, hope that it works, and my hopes are dashed instantly. I could ask her out in a few weeks after exams are over, but what's the point? Probably just get turned down again.Yeah, I'm done angsting now.

feel your pain AIJ; there is this girl i have asked out, she said yes, then she have stalled (the valid resons but still) im damned confused now ARGH!
If their schedules are packed but they are interested, they will immediately come back with a counter-offer. If they don't, then they aren't interested. Move along, nothing to see here.
I haven't seen the GF for a couple of months now, and won't until around December 10th.

At least moving back to Brisbane will be a hell of a lot closer to Canberra, and only one 90 minute flight instead of that flight plus a layover of indeterminate length and another 4 hour flight.
