Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
With the help of a friend who re-did my resume, and their insistence. I’ve applied for my dream job whose applications closed today. I wouldn’t have done it without their help. Thank you friend.
I’m not quite as morose after a good night’s sleep and a good breakfast. My ears are still not popped though. Tried the Valsalva manoeuvre, swallowing water, sucking on a lolly and using steam but no dice…
E: the cat has trapped me so I guess I’ll just be stuck here for a while.
I have decided that what I really want to eat right now is a parmigana lasagne. Layers of chicken schnitzel, with tomato sauce, ham and cheese between them, topped with bechemal sauce, sprinkled with cheese and baked until golden. Obviously to be served with lots of perfectly hot and crispy chips.
Had a first date with a really lovely girl this weekend.
We both had fun and she made sure to tell me so and spoke about catching up again in the future a few times.
I waited a day to ask if she wanted to hang out next weekend and she says that she’s super busy that weekend, sorry. No suggestion of when she might be free or anything.
Am I reading too much into it thinking maybe she’s not interested? I just took what she said at face value and went with it but part of me wonders if she’s just not interested but wants to be polite.
Any suggestions? I don’t want to come across as needy or anything like that.
Maybe I’m pessimistic but it sounds like she’s brushing you off.
At this point I wouldn’t reach out again, you’ve already stuck your neck out. If she makes contact, great but I wouldn’t hold your breath.
I thought it sounded like being brushed off too.
You’d think if she was interested she would suggest another time.
Bit weird because we’ve been talking a bunch both before and after but I haven’t really said much other than suggesting we play a game we both like and she kinda brushed that off too saying she was hungover.
Might just have to leave it.
Aww seagoon that’s sweet of you. I do. I’d describe her as a keeper for sure.
Seems to me like you’re giving up way too easily.
Don’t do that before you decide to ask a much more direct question about your status together. There is literally nothing to lose.
“Hey, I’m not sure if you’re still keen to hang out again. I’d like to, what are your thoughts?”
Edit: And just read your other comments. It’s still way too early. You’re overthinking it. Don’t listen to the DT’s resident pessimist.
OK thanks Pilk, I’ll keep that in mind as well.
I guess we just keep talking organically and if a second date happens it happens.
Alternatively I could be more direct with her say tomorrow when she’s not hungover and see what she says.
I do like the idea of being direct about it all. We’re grown ups after all.
EDIT: As fullkit and yourself have suggested I’ll just let things roll and not read into it at all for now. See where the conversation moves to next and see if she suggests anything!
So I asked what you suggested and she just wants to be friends. Time to move on. Thanks for your advice.
