That's how my parents met, in a cafe with his boys, saw her walking by and just went for it. Still married to this day so yeah. it's possible bro.

Ball is her court right now man, you've given her an explicit indication that you would like to see her again and that's that. You really gotta be careful about being too full on or needy so I'd recommend you to just leave it and focus your attention on more pressing issues. Sounds like you want a relationship yourself since shes got you questioning the ONS status? If so then please don't be fucking gamey now with that "didn't think you were the flakey type" bullshit. Those lines work in certain contexts but in this case it's not gonna make her cream her panties, especially after the DLV saying you lost your job.

You're right. My intention was to get her to agree to the general idea of meeting up while the conversation was at a high point and then sort out the logistics at a later point. Reading it back now I realize how sloppy it was but it doesn't matter at this point. Texting is like chess sometimes, except in chess there are clear rules and players stay seated until the game is finished
