One Sided Ravings

I met someone through facebook randomly. We go to the same University and I have a motorcycle, so she added me as a friend. I figured "why not?" so I added her back and we talked. We exchanged phone numbers and set up a double blind date to go bowling. It was a lot of fun.

Just over a week later, she was moving from where she lived into a house with a friend's family. I took her out to lunch and helped her move. Lunch was really fun. She asked me to sit next to her, and we had a good time eating. I helped her get all the stuff packed, then moved, then unpacked.

Forgive my use of detail in the rest, I'm just going to say everything that jumped out to me.

The missionaries came over for dinner at the house, so we all sat and ate with them. It was fun. I had my feet kicked out under the table, and she put hers out over mine. We sat like that for a while, with our ankles crossing over each other. There were some other instances of us breaking the touch barrier, but it was all a bit hesitant.

After dinner, and unpacking a lot of her stuff, we decided to go see a movie. We hit the 10:30pm showing of Hellboy II. It was a good story, but a mediocre screen play. They had what I dub "snuggle seats" at the movie theater, where the arms between the chairs fold up. She crossed her legs in her chair, and her knees were up over the arm rests. I said "I can't imagine that is comfortable" and put the arm rest up. Her knee was then resting on my leg, just above the knee, and I had my hand resting on her knee.

She didn't seem to have a problem with it. As the movie progressed, she twisted and through both of her legs over my lap, then, a little later on, twisted around to snuggle with me. We were that way for most of the movie, and it was good. The whole date just went really well and things seemed to be working out.

We hung out again that Friday before she had to go to work. We had both not had much sleep the night before, been up early, and had a busy morning. That being said, by the time we were hanging out we were both pretty tired. It was, for lack of a better word, boring. There really wasn't much to do at the house, we didn't have long before she had to leave, and she just kinda wanted to do facebook and myspace on the computer.

Since then, it has been like pulling teeth to hang out with her. She'll tell me when she thinks she is going to be available, but then I won't be able to get a hold of her, etc. It's just frustrating because I don't know if it was something that I did, or something else. It is just ... obnoxious.
