Meara, I wouldn't take it that way at all. She sounds like she had fun with you.
I'm sorry. You were going to ask me to choose, right? Did you want to finish?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Huh. I'm reading it as a friendly-but-not-interested. I need a Buffista ruling! :)
(I mean, I wasn't all "OMG she's the love of my life", but definitely cute enough that I had noticed her at a thing the week before, and hoped from her pictures she was the same person, and would be interested in going out again when I don't have a migraine and maybe with a bit of alcohol and touchy flirting...)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'm GUESSING that means "no thanks, but you don't have to pretend to avoid me in the future"? ArghMeara, I wouldn't say that at all. I think she really liked you, and was pissed that you kicked her ass with a migraine. but the smiley face says it all. I say ask if she wants an escort to big shindig.
(Of course, I give the caveat that I am **horrible** at reading women. I mistake friendliness for flirting. And still haven't figured out when I am actually being flirted with)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
...I'm GUESSING that means "no thanks, but you don't have to pretend to avoid me in the future"? Argh.
I read it as complimenting your spicy brains and looking forward to seeing you again. She may have read you "rematch or just say hi" as being a bit equivocal and so might be following your lead.

Sigh. And of course, in addition to trying to parse her response, I have to figure out what to respond to it! Without sounding weird or desperate or stalkery, because as I said, I know I'll run into her again...

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
So Merlin has started pooping behind the sofa. The Girl's friend recommended phoning the local cat shelter for advice - apparently they have pet behaviour specialists available to help people who have adopted animals. That's nice. Otherwise life is fairly normal, except that bag-of-nerves hates-public-speaking me has signed up for a research storytelling thing where, after a couple of workshops, I have to perform a story relating to my research. First workshop is tonight and I spent all of yesterday working on my story so it had better be OK. (I'm actually rather excited.)
Anne, good luck with your licencing exam!
Congrats, Sean!
smonster, I wish you unbelievably awesome and incredibly exciting meeting/dates with Marty Sue.
meara, I think she sounds interested, in a laid-back-for-now, see-how-it-goes way.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
meara,
I would take her to be kind of interested, and curious to know how things go the next time you see her. She probably is wondering if the migraine was an excuse and is letting you make the next move to see if you remain interested.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ryan has reached the questioning phase. I was expecting "Why?" Instead I keep hearing "How to do that?" He has a practical bent, this boy.

Because books.
Jake was always big on "What that for?" And then there came the day when he turned around and looked at me. "What you for?"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My niece has coined the term "alcoholocaust". I like it, except for how she was using it to describe last weekend.
