Does this girl really have the flu?

[The Dreaming]

I met a girl at a party on Saturday and she seemed to like me a bit. (keep in mind we were both pretty well inebriated) I got her number and asked her out today. She told me she had the flu. I said I would ask again in a week. So, what do you all think? Does she have the flu or not?

[Iryssa]

*grin* I said "no"...just because that's exactly the same excuse I always use when someone calls and I just don't feel like doing anything...don't take it personally, man...I've even used that one on my best friend.

[Nav]

I wouldn't like to speculate.

Once when I was working in a nightclub I got chatting to a girl about the band on the T-shirt I was wearing. We got on well and I arranged to meet her at the end of the night so we could swap phone numbers or something. Anyway, with about an hour of drinking left to go some tool decided it would be a good idea to vault the railings on the stage and jump down on to the dancefloor. Where I was collecting bottles from the floor.

I was taken to hospital immediately (the impact did something funny to my nerves and I couldn't move my limbs smoothly, or stop twitching) and the girl faithfully came back to the bar at the end. She asked Paul the barman if I was around and he went out the back to check. When he came back and told her "He's been hit on the head and taken to hospital." The girl reacted angrily, shouting at Paul (probably because she thought I was in the glass room and could hear) that he shouldn't make excuses for such a coward.

Long story short: Just because a story has 'weasely excuse' written all over it, doesn't mean it isn't true.

I second Nav's comment. Depends on what she says in a weeks time. If it's still no go, chances are she doesn't.

Say Nav: Did that barman have the card suits (diamonds etc) tattooed across his knuckles?

I met a girl one time, and we seemed to hit it off really well. After we met I called her a few days later and asked her out. She told me she had a family obligation. I called her a few days later and asked her out again. She said she had to go to her uncle's funeral. I called her a few days after that and asked her out again, and she said yes.

I've been married to that girl for over 9 years now.

So the take home message to you, Dreaming, is this: QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD.

lol, brilliant!

[Loredoctor]

I said 'no' because that's what I'd assume.

[dANdeLION]

Well, I think another call in a week is not out of order, but after that, you might consider your own pride in this.

[The Dreaming]

QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD.

Hehe. I pretty much believed her, just venting some whimsical frustration. After all, hard as this may be to believe, she came on to ME. We were introduced because "she thought I was cute". I got her number after I had to turn down going somewhere else with her.

So I was pretty much feeling a bit whimsical with my free night (thought I would have a date).

[dANdeLION]

In that case, you should definitely call her again, to prove that you are as interested in her as she is in you.

No, I don't think he had any tattoos. The club was the Leadmill, in case you're familiar with it.

Send her some flowers with your number on the "get well" card. Leave it at that.

That was great!
(because i didn't get hurt)
Have you stopped twitching?

I second that. If she has another illness/obligation, it's probably a "no"...or you'll marry her, like dlb

[Nathan]

I said no but I meant to say yes.

After this:

We were introduced because "she thought I was cute".

I'm pretty convinced it's real flu.

[CovenantJr]

She thought he was cute to start with, that doesn't mean she still does (don't take that wrong way, Dreaming I'm just making a point ). Plenty of girls have thought I'm "cute" (or similar compliment) then mysteriously not wanted to date me anyway.

[dlbpharmd]

Dreaming - what CJr is trying to say is, the girl must've had her beer goggles on.

[CovenantJr]

That's the essence of it

[The Dreaming]

Good point, but she had seen me while sober before, the party was just the first time we actually met. (It was a cast party BTW)

[dANdeLION]

Don't worry, Dreaming; once she finds out you know me, you'll have no problems with her. Just practice these lines..."Yeah, I know dAN......." "dAN? Yeah, I know him....." "yeah, I can get you dAN's autograph...." "tickets to see dAN? Baby, he's by appointment only. I'll see what I can do......" (don't forget the knowledgeable wink at the end of that last one).
