As expected (pessimistically) there was no contact from RB tonight. It's been 24 hours since my last contact and I'm at a loss where to go from here. It's entirely possible that she's been busy and that contact may yet still come, but is that logical thinking or just wishful?
The feeling of disappointment has been dogging me for the past couple of days. I've only met RB twice, but first impressions don't lead me to believe she's the kind of girl to simply ignore contact and that she'd instead offer up some kind of excuse not to see if things develop. However, while I can read people quite well, I'm not claiming to be some kind of expert.
I'm still of the opinion that she is keen (or was keen) and that this thing is falling apart because things were going so well between us, even if we've only been in each other's company for less than 12 hours, and that this issue of hers is holding her back. Maybe she's afraid that the spark between us is too strong to ignore and with her issue, she's stuck between a rock and a hard place, emotionally, taking the easy way out by simply backing off completely? Who knows?
I'm also slightly concerned about how much disappointment I'm feeling right now. I know I invested a bit when I first sent her the note and I knew fairly quickly on our date that I wanted things to develop romantically, but hand on heart, I hadn't looked anywhere beyond a couple of dates.
I think I know what it was... that I wanted or needed this to develop in some way. Romance being the preferred option, but friendship was or is still a goal. I've long maintained that I need to meet new people produce new socialising opportunities and this was the best chance I've had in a long time to do that.
I now face a decision. Should I simply give in now, and if any contact comes in the next day or so, then so be it, or do I attempt further communication in a couple of days before giving up?
