Hola out there all, ok, I am still fairly new at these things but
anyways, heres my dilema (sp?)

I have a friend that I have recently become interested in as more than
just friends, I mean the exact time it switched I dont really know, it
sorta just did.  Anyways, she is very bright, increadibly interesting,
pretty etc etc, but has a poor self image (I do myself I admit).
Well this weekend I spent like 6 hours one day and 9 hours another day
with her ;) and had a grand old time, all the while leaving small
cryptic hints towards the fact I like her.  Now at one point she said
that sometimes she gets those hints, just doesnt comment, then gave me
a mischivious wink so I assumed she knows whats going on.  Well later
that evening we went out to dinner (as friends) and she mentioned
about someone that she likes that she lives with (lives with 2 males
and 2 other females) but that he's engaged, etc etc...Me I took it as
a "heres a hint as I like you as a friend and dont want a very
embarassing situation to occur" (namely me asking her out) granted
this was never actually *SAID* its just my interpretation, and later
she gave a story of a few folks that she wouldnt date even if they
were the last person on earth and saying "im not interested, Im not
looking" ..I also took these as a "just so you know...I aint looking
for a significant other"-type hint as opposed to just silly
conversation...
she later invited me to a club that she won tickets to (tomorrow
evening) and I accepted (As what the hell I admit it I was having
a great time even though I thought/think its a no...still being
friends would be great (though we were friends anyways;).......
Next night I called her to give her the option of recinding that offer
just incase it was a guilt trip that caused her to offer me to
go...(as I heard her invite someone else that day..hmm now I gotta
invite him type deal) well anyways...the convo never got that far
we both got VERY cryptic (me its a defense mechinism and I believe
same for her.  There were so many low flying airplains in the air that
they wwere crashing right and left.  After like 3 hours of that she
started to catch that I was backing off because of her talkings the
night before...THEN things really got confusing, where she started
saying. "I know you write poetry, do you read?" HUNH (caps are me)
"Ever read Robert Frost, road not taken" HUNH (brilliant
conversationilist aint I?) "last two lines" HUNH (great there stunning
comeback) "no? find someone who does and read them" I CONFUSED "just
do it, no guts no glory" EXCUSE ME? (YES I know please calm about how
Wonderful my conversational ability is ;) "The walls gotta come down
some time" WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT "look we need to talk theres a
lot of confusino goin on"  YEAH AND 1AM OVER THE PHONE INST PROPER
TIME "Yes" WELL, SINCE YOU KNOW MORE THAN I RIGHT NOW YOU WANNA TALK,
YOU KNOW WHERE I AM "hunh" (AHA! shoes on the other foot! ;) YOU WANT
TO DISCUSS I'M GOING TO BE AT HOME "oh so balls in my court I guess?"
YES "ok, goodnight " GOODNIGHT

ALLRIGHT for those who are still following and arent snoozing off into
neva neva land I'll repeat in above scenero I was saying the CAPITAL
she was the quotes...anyways one night it seems a definate no, and
then it was like a yes get your guts up man? What I am VERY confused
and well she didnt bother to call last night.  That leaves tonight
before I supposed to go to the dance tomorrow, but I cant go because I
am not going to go if its going to cause her any uncomfortablness...I
respect her way to much for that...
Any suggestions anyone for the two that are just too damn scared to
even have a clue whats going on?
