I was confused. I thought we had a good time. For the past several days, I’d gone over every detail of our date in my head. I played out every single moment trying to figure out what would have kept her from answering my texts.

Did I do or say something that might have offended her? Maybe I wasn’t attentive enough? Should I have said or done more?

She seemed to enjoy herself. I saw her relax. Perhaps I was having a good time and I projected that she was too. No, I know she did. She laughed with me the whole night. Then why was she avoiding me now?

Maybe she was playing hard to get. I didn’t think so, though. I was pretty good at reading people, and I hadn’t gotten that vibe from her. If she was into those kinds of games, then she wasn’t who I thought she was. I was too old to waste my time playing games.

But I had a feeling that wasn’t it. She didn’t seem at all the type to play games. I remembered what she had said about having her heart broken, and how deeply it had affected her. She wasn’t the type to turn around and do the same thing to someone else. I’d sent her texts, even called and left a voicemail. But I hadn’t gotten any response. Zip.

Normally, if I had sent a couple texts and called someone with no reply back after a couple of days, I would take it as a clear indicator they weren’t interested and move on. But something just wasn’t sitting right with me.

Sammie and I had had a great time on our date the other night. We had, hadn’t we? Gosh. Why was I still asking myself this question? Of course we had. I could still remember the look of delight on her face on the Ferris wheel, when she looked up at the stars and her fear of heights disappeared as we looked up together. Her shy smile was genuine and so was her joyful laughter that came out as we spent the evening together.

Then her serious face when she mentioned the heartaches in her past. Something told me that her staying away had more to do with her fears than changing her mind about liking me. Maybe it was self-centred of me to think that, but I didn’t care. I wanted to make it clear to her where I stood.
