Story update on the 20-year-old

Nothing has happened with the 20-year-old from this story, and we keep making tentative plans that are scuppered by various stupid young girl things. Some of her minor health problems are also in play, e.g. she has a medical appointment tonight, which I think is genuine, but the timing is also bad for me.

So this one hasn't died off altogether, as she's still responsive. Someone is going to point out that if she really wanted to make this happen, she would. That's obviously true, but it's also true that people have complicated lives, and many girls are random. I've gotten a lot of lays and short-term relationships off situations not exactly like this one, but pretty similar overall, where the girl seems flighty or chaotic but does eventually show up. The line isn't dead and she's apologetic in texting.

Most often girls just ghost when they're uninterested.

This one hasn't ghosted, and if she's milking me for attention I'm not sure she's getting much. I'm staying pretty close to logistics chat, with a little other stuff as well. I keep telling myself that if this is going to happen, it's going to happen, and if not, life goes on. She's going home tomorrow (college girls...) and coming back "Sunday or Monday." A bad sign but not a fatal one. There are some things we've tentatively planned (because of her sexual personality I invited her to sex party in a couple weeks), one of them a thing she claims she's long wanted to do but never done, and that I know about because I know these things.

I just really want it to happen.

I remember once, probably six or seven years ago, meeting this chick in a bar. She was very responsive to me and my friend who was out with me. She invited us to go to another bar with her, but for some reason I didn't think it was a good idea to go immediately. She seemed like a girl playing games. We did go down an hour or so later and she was already grinding on / making out with another guy, as was her friend or whatever.

Maybe the other guy was her boyfriend, maybe something else was going on, I don't know, but I did kick myself for being "cool" instead of just saying yes. Sometimes hard pursuit is the right thing to do.

A guy in another thread asks, "You refer to 'less is more' with long game.. How long between pings is recommended here?" There is no right answer and it turns out my answer is long enough to be a post. I also began a post in response to this Nash comment. I may have a problem in that I can't explain things in like a paragraph. Too many little complications, etc.

Or I'm pouring erotic energy into writing instead of where it should be poured.
