| The date... |
sorry I took so long to post this I just had other things going on...
I am going to try and make this as short as I can... The coffee was great and we talked about 15-20 before deciding to head over to the accidental artist... their oven/kiln thing was broken... so you could buy pre done stuff but you could not do any of your own... ouch... I told her that was ok I had another plan as well she smiled at that and we headed a few doors down to the fudge depot... closed on vacation.... ahhhh man WTF so then she looks at me and said something like, "Nice way to plan the date...." then rolls her eyes... I could not tell if it was a joke ot she was serious... I just smile and laugh it off I tell her I had not even considered it might not be open but we are down town and it is a beautiful day... let walk around a bit an look at a few shops... I thought we could head over to the gardens and get a few pictures I need to send them to someone. She said that going for a walk sounds nice but she would pass on the gardens... the palace did not interest her much... humm ok I have struck out three times on what I thought was an inventive well planned date... all I need now if for it to rain and I will say fuck it i am going home.
I told her that was fine I would just get them when we are done, (at least now I had an out when I was ready to take it) and we proceeded to walk around a bit. She seemed to know alot about the shop owners and such I guess her dad is on some committe and all the biz owners have dinners and get togethers. We stop at this street vendor and get an elephant ear and sit on a bench next to this historic church... there happened to be a sax player on the corner there is a nice breeze I thought ok this is turning around... we talk a little just small talk mostly, a little about work.. a bit about a bridge that is getting redone here in town. I get up to throw the plate away and I drop some money in the sax players case he was really good. And we start walking again, she asks me why I dropped money in his case... I told her cause I enjoyed lystening to him play... I was a bit caught off guard by the questions I thought she was feeling me out. Then what she said blew me away... "Ya know by doing that you just invite more beggers like him to be out here. If he does well he will come back and others will join him. The people that own these shops here need the money too, and don't like it when people are pan handling." I was like wow... I explained to her, "that I did not consider that pan handling... and it adds charature to the city. I enjoyed having him there and I have never really seen panhandlers in the area here. Sometimes you see them sitting with their signs on the side of the road." her reply was, "It's only a matter of time." I was dumbfounded... I mean i see her point in an odd and obscure way.. but umm come on... give me a break. So we walk a bit more, and I see the galery has an exhibit I ask he if she likes art and would like to check it out... she shrugged and said sure. So we go in and its beautiful... it was not one person but an assortment... some glass work and oils, something odd done with food that I did not quite get... lol I guess it was the dumb football player comming out in me. We walk around there a bit spend about an hour or so there... I ask her if she would like to get something to eat and she declined but said if I was hungry we could get something. I told her I was fine I just kinda wanted to make sure she was cool. We had a bit of small talk and walked a bit more down town. I notied it was 4 and the gardens closed at 5. I told her I should really go to the gardens and get those pictures. She asked me who they were for exactly, I told her for my grandmother. She said that was nice of me. I asked her If she was sure I could not talk her into going? it was nice out and I would enjoy the company (I was being polite, but not begging so you do not get the wrong Idea... actually hopping she would say no.) she declined and said she had some shopping to do and she would call me sometime monday night. I told that would be fine and I look forward to talking to her then. I walked her to her car and gave her a hug that from her end was a quick one handed deals and spun around so fast to get in her car as quick kiss was out of the question lol. So I stood there and watcher he go on her way and I headed to the gardens... which made the rest of the day all better...
after which I hid a few antique stores, stoped at the store got some beer and headed home... where the family mess started up.... that's a whole different story.
so to sum it up, I may go out with her again if she brings it up... but I doubt I will ask her out again. Just something below the serface I can not put my hand on... and she is not turning out to be the person I thought she was.... or wanted to be.
