after forgetting her b-day, i assured her that i had alr written her a card and picked up a gift for her, and had not wanted to meet her then cos i knew she was busy with projects.
5 days later, on the day we were supposed to meet, i hurriedly wrote the card and rushed to JP to get the gift.
met her for the b-day dinner at vivo. enjoyed the conversation throughout, as well as that at the outdoor pavilion whilst admiring the night scene and the view of Sentosa. the mood was set for the question, but i let it slip again, partly due to purposeful intent, partly due to nervousness.
on the way back, after hesitating many times, i finally asked. but it wasn't the question i was thinking of asking before. after 10 long mths of supposed dating, i have to know, i felt.
"ehh. so are you attached now?" (or something of sorts)
sometimes i really do amuse myself with my lack of dating protocol and subtlety. shouldn't i have asked this much sooner. ohwells. at least i know she's single. and most likely available.
one thing abt her is that we have virtually no mutual friends (ok there's one, in my closest clique too and hopefully he din leak my blog add to her otherwise i'm dead) so it's harder to ascertain her r/s status.
and i do require a long time to develop considerable, lasting interest in someone, lest it's obviously a close to perfect match coupled with sublime chemistry.
there's a good reason why i'm stalling, and yes jack u hit the nail on the spot 1st time. i know myself only too well and circumstances (after graduation) may lead to adverse consequences should i alr be in a r/s then. i need more time.
if taking my time leads to me losing what i have now, so be it. perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. let's simply let time tell - it never lies.
