Cherry Blossom 35 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Yes, us DC gals are pretty friendly! I say go for Jen. If there is any issue between them, they will have to duke it out amongst themselves. That could be interesting in itself.

Wouldn't be the first time girls draw blood over me... oh wait... yes it would be
Author rod_in_gtown Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Ok, I called her but went though to voicemail. I told her who I was and where we met, calling to say hi, and ask about weekend plans. Left her my number but said I would call her back... GAH! I'm horrible at this. I think I said the word "whatever" in the message. Oh well... I wonder if I should try again later or just wait until tomorrow. It's almost 9 pm here.
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Leave it at that! Giver her some time.
Star Gazer Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Ok, I called her but went though to voicemail. I told her who I was and where we met, calling to say hi, and ask about weekend plans. Left her my number but said I would call her back... Argh! Why did you do this???
Star Gazer Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I will how did the dinner go with you? Get this! He said that I gave him too much flak over texting the wrong person, and that he felt guilty as a result and didn't think we should go out. Whatev.
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Get this! He said that I gave him too much flak over texting the wrong person, and that he felt guilty as a result and didn't think we should go out. Whatev. Tool shouldn't have texted the wrong chick. What a lameass. Sorry for hijack, Rod.

Author rod_in_gtown Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Argh! Why did you do this??? Is that a no-no? I have to plead ignorance on that one.
Star Gazer Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Is that a no-no? I have to plead ignorance on that one. In telling her that YOU would call HER again, you nullified the first call. You should have told her to call you back, leaving the ball in her court. Instead, now you have to go through the anxiety of calling all over again.
Author rod_in_gtown Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 I guess that makes me a control freak huh?
Legend Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 Get this! He said that I gave him too much flak over texting the wrong person, and that he felt guilty as a result and didn't think we should go out. Whatev. When you gonna let me take you out Star???
Lishy Posted September 17, 2008 Posted September 17, 2008 I guess that makes me a control freak huh? Wait till she starts swinging you around in the bedroom and then you will see who is in control!!!!! A rower must be having ome big 'ole arms!!!
Author rod_in_gtown Posted September 17, 2008 Author Posted September 17, 2008 Ok, after yesterday's blunder call, I decided to call her again today. A little earlier, voicemail again. short message, "called to say hi, want to know if you want to do something on Friday, give me a call, my number is xxxxxx" Ball's in her court. I'm not holding my breath though.
Author rod_in_gtown Posted September 18, 2008 Author Posted September 18, 2008 My friend who got married was back at the office today, we talked about her wedding and honeymoon and everything... she's awesome and I'm lucky to call her my friend. She did ask me if I was going to go out with Jen and I told her about the unreturned calls and how bummed I was but that if she wasn't interested then that I would rather she didn't call me back. She was a little upset at her and said that she's a great girl but that for some reason she doesn't date. Apparently the last date she went on was over a year ago with a former redskin player. So I thought to myself... "ok then, she's got a busy life, she doesn't date, it's not you" Well about 10 minutes ago Jen called me and apologized for being unavailable, told me her phone hadn't been ringing and that her IT dept rebooted it and she heard the messages. She told me she's a little busy with things for the next week or so but that her schedule would clear up after that... I choked... I wasn't expecting a call back from her at this point. I think I blabbered something about getting together after she was done with her work rush in about a week but didn't get anything firm... God I'm such a girl... I hope I didn't blow it. I loved her voice over the phone though... purrdy... Now I've got a little butterfly flapping around my gut.
Lishy Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Awwwwwwwww Rod that is so sweet! I love that feeling!!

I suspect your friend called Jen after you talked to her- actually I don't suspect- I am sure of it....lol. Jen may have been wondering about the team mate flirting and been on the fence... and your friend probably set her straight and told her you are a nice guy she'd enjoy dating. That's exactly what i would do if I was your friend- I'll call the girl. So, how did you leave it? Are you supposed to call her back, or is she supposed to call you back to arrange a date?
Angel1111 Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Is that a no-no? I have to plead ignorance on that one. I don't think there was anything wrong with what you did. I prefer that a guy take the initiative than put it on me. It's just a thing with me. Your call would've made me smile....even if you did say whatever.

I loved her voice over the phone though... purrdy... Now I've got a little butterfly flapping around my gut. It all sounds good to me. I think after the second call, that's fine to ask her to call you. Just call her next week around Wednesday and see if you can set a firm date to go out. As far as dating, I think she's gun-shy and doesn't want to get burned again - but she must think you're special enough and is willing to stick her neck out for you. That's a really good sign. Good luck and keep us posted.

I just got a text from my friend. She hasn't talked to Jen at all! Wow. We didn't leave it firm in any way. I'll call her next week and see how her schedule is looking. Like I said, I choked. But definitely a great sign
Lishy Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Oh let me tell you something, a girl will not call unless she is interested Looks like you could be getting ya rod out soon!!!!!!! wooooooo
Author rod_in_gtown Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 Oh let me tell you something, a girl will not call unless she is interested Looks like you could be getting ya rod out soon!!!!!!! wooooooo I'm going to take it easy, I'm getting very excited about her and need to cool off because I can't afford to be hurt again by another tall girl... I'd be nice to take the ole rod out for a spin :lmao:
Author rod_in_gtown Posted September 19, 2008 Author Posted September 19, 2008 Well, Jen called her friend today to ask her about me. As I suspected she was not happy about the bumping and grinding I did with Laura on the dance floor. Let's face it, if I was her I would be concerned about the exact same thing. But thankfully my friend spoke well of me (all great and true things) and hopefully Jen will give me a chance.
Cherry Blossom 35 Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Why would she care? You hadn't even met her at that point.
