Question

If I am waiting for Barb to give me the green light to ask her out proper again, is it at all proper to ask when I think the signal is coming?

I went out with her for dinner again tonight... and there were a couple things that I had noticed about the couple hours we spent together.

1. Every time she had a phone call, she wasn't seemingly ashamed to tell whomever she was talking to that she was out with 'Clayton.' That hadn't happened before.
2. When her Mom had phoned, once she had mentioned my name as who she was out with, her Mom had hung up on that moment. And then Barb had phoned back as it seemed rather abrupt, then citing that the power went out in Chestermere. Something to look into.

But as it stands, time is still an issue with her. I try to offer up a chance to get together, but I generally skeptical about whether or not she will or not. She was good enough to call me out of the blue tonight. I really wasn't expecting it at all... like again, I had deleted her number, as I was just randomly sending her text messages again. Nothing terrible, just wondering if she was out or not... but with the lack of responses, I got concerned again.

I like her so much... but until she gives me a better chance, I'm not gonna walk out onto the limb and wish for the best. I have done that too many times with good intentions, but bad pretenses and had lost badly. I think my strategy will be best... its not easy... I'd rather put it all out there, but the prospect of making her runaway doesn't appeal.

There's a new poem on the Scribblings tonight... just in case you're wondering if there was something new ever to appear on it.

Drop a comment if you've got any insight on this sorta thing. It would be appreciated.
