so what a day i had yesterday!

so there's this girl that i've been chasing with little success for some time now. she just happens to be the sister of a couple of my former roommates/good friends. we've been friends for a couple of years, and came close to dating once, but she was just coming out of a really long relationship, and her heart wasn't in it.

yesterday i took her to see the matinee of Swan Lake at the Academy of Music in Philly. having never been to the ballet, i wasn't sure what to expect, but i knew that i loved Tchaikovsky, so i figured that at least i would dig the music. i really loved the whole deal. the performers were fantastic, and the entire production was done in a professional, and very effective way. i could really feel all the emotions that were being conveyed on stage. i could tell that she was really digging it too.

after the ballet, we went to some irish bar down on South and Front streets for dinner and drinks. excellent time. i was funny and charming and all the thnings that i knew i could be. after a couple of hours, we decided to head home, or rather to a bar that was a little closer to home. driving. wow did that suck ass yesterday. anyone who is in the eastern part of pennsylvania knew what a shitty day it was yesterday. i mean downpour, all day, and i live like 75 miles from Philly. but since i'm so awesome, it went okay.

so we met up with a couple of her friends at the bar, and proceeded to drink. i had been meaning to try to get a little closer to some of her friends. it always seemed in the past that i was always waiting to think of something to say instead of just joining the conversation. i wasn't exactly killing or anything, but i kept up with her friends quite well i think.

so i get to spend the whole day with this girl that is so amazingly beautiful, and it seems like she's actually really into me. but the end of the night was the best. she was going over to hang out with her girlfriend, so we parted ways at the bar. but as we said our good byes, i didn't just get the friends hug. she grabbed my hand in hers and then gave me the longing to touch you hug. and then i got a second hug where she put her cheek against mine. not wanting to push things, and being a little shy about having her friends right there in the car, kept me from going in for a kiss. which i second guessed all the way home. i'm pretty sure she's knows that i'm interested.

so i called her back today, and got her voicemail, but i'm feeling pretty optomistic about this.

of course the pessimistic point of view would be that i bought her flowers, took her to the ballet, bought dinner and drinks, and she went home with someone else.

still. it was great. amazing even.
