Family is in town this weekend visiting from Florida & Oregon. Aunt, uncle, cousin, and two old friends of the family, ma & g'ma all stopped over after we went to breakfast to see my new house. Everyone seemed very impressed, but it almost seemed like they were being overly profuse in their praise. Not that it matters, I know they meant well, it just seemed a little... insincere? Disingenuous? Maybe it's just me though, I've always had trouble accepting praise/compliments. They all were pretty excited about the old Dodge in the garage though! I was glad to have them (especially for such a short visit!) ;-) but I was a bit disappointed that my g'ma didn't want to come inside. No idea why although at her age, it might have been just too much to physically do. She's 98, still gets around with a walker, but doesn't do well with steps, and I think she was just wore out. Still, it's a shame, as she's been wanting to see it for ages, and there she was in the driveway, not 15 feet from my front door, but just couldn't/didn't want to. Oh well.
As for the online mutual match, I sent what I think was a respectful yet positively worded message to her Wednesday, inviting her to meet this weekend, or to just text/email/message, if she wasn't up for that. Having not heard from her, I wondered if maybe I was somehow awkward in my message, or had inadvertently written something off-putting or rude, so I went back & re-read it. I honestly think it was fine, so I'm a little confused by her lack of response. I'm going to assume either 1) she's hesitant/nervous & isn't sure what to say/how to reply, or 2) she somehow missed it in the many messages she likely receives. I'm going to wait a couple more days, then send one last message, essentially saying that I'm writing again to see if maybe she missed my 1st message, in case it got lost in the shuffle, and letting her know I wouldn't write again, in order to not be a pest (paraphrasing, not sure how I'll word it).
Why would someone who liked another's profile (yes, I have a fully completed profile & have pictures up as well, so no surprises), decide not to reply? I know she's been online (and she hasn't 'un-liked' me), because there's a little green light next to the profiles who are logged in, and I can see that when I review my message to her. Any words of encouragement, so that I don't feel like I somehow did something to mess things up before anything even got started? This isn't a one-time occurrance, it's happened several times over the years.
My self-confidence is really turning you on, isn't it? *rollseyes* Honestly, I don't think I'm cut out for dating...
