The Lady from Match.com, she says...

...No. Or maybe. Or perhaps. Or you never know...

Confused? Well I certainly know that I am.

Still, once the excruciating weekend wait was over it was pretty much textbook stuff – and as I’d expected really. This time it was the much underrated “I met someone at the weekend and we’re going to go out again this weekend”, plus she did mention that the (and in my honest opinion - not insurmountable) distance might be a problem too.

However, this is where things start to get interesting – and since we’re near to Halloween “spooky” too.

The usual “still want to be friends” was banded about which I always find interesting – especially since it usually only lasts a week before they disappear back into cyberspace – but I really did get the impression that she was unsure just what to do and which direction to take.

Things like “not saying I don’t like you”, “good looking”, “you never know” and “it’s very early days” left me even more confused than before. I’ve simply no idea what to make of it - even if I'm much happier that things are now "sort of" in the open.

So, do I do the gentlemanly thing and, with yet another heavy heart, simply give up and walk away, or do I get ready to dust down my pistols for a duel at dawn because I really do think that this lady is worth fighting for?

BTW. Thanks for the support Franje but I suggest you should uncross your fingers and toes before you start to get arthritic
