The Mists Of Uncertainty Have Cleared
I talked with the young woman I have been pining over last night and we worked out the exact interpretation of the ‘Not Now’ statement she had issued. Now, you have to understand, she just recently got out of a very bad relationship, the implications of which I am not going to get into in this journal. I really do care for her as a friend, I would like to pursue more than that but quite simply she is not ready, and likely will not be for quite some time.
‘Not Now’ = ‘I Don’t Know’ (In her words) = NO (In my definition).
However, now she thinks I am hurt. I’m not. It is now a whole lot less awkward, I can concentrate on being her friend without hoping for anything more than that. I just hope I can convince her that I am not upset. ARGH! – Women!
