After the events of Sunday night, I really thought I’d pulled. Having spent all night chatting with some guy and then walking back to my brothers with him and his friend, I really thought this might go somewhere.
I was happy to meet on his terms, play just as friends for now. All I needed was a phone call or even just a text. I hadn’t asked for his number, I thought it would seems less pushy if I left the ball in his court. That backfired though, as I now know it would have been better for me to text him (and him ignore me) rather than forever waiting for him to text me.
Even now, I hold out hope that may be his friend will say to him “don’t be a dickhead, text/phone him”, but I’m just kidding myself.
