To refresh the memory of all of my loyal blog fans (yes I know there are thousands of you out there!), I am currently trying to hang out with this girl on our volleyball team (codename: Zora) and just see what progresses. I stated in my first blog that I needed to "grow some cajones" and just ask her out on a date and what not. Well, after several weeks of effort on my part, I think I am going to take a break for awhile in seriously trying to pursue her. And I think I have good reason to.
First, this girl is tremendously busy. Participating in any Division II athletic program is not exactly a piece of cake. It takes a lot of time, effort, and dedication on part of the athlete. I know; I am one of them. This season for some of the upperclassmen on the volleyball team has been frustrating because a lot of freshman are given preference, and it seems that the hard work of the juniors and seniors is unrewarded. I think that is the case with this girl, at least somewhat.
Besides being involved in Division II athletics, she is also a very active member of her church community (one of the reasons why I like her) and organizes retreats for young parish members. This noble endeavor takes a lot of time as well, so she sometimes leaves on the weekends to go attend to those matters, which is respectable.
Second, it seems that every time I try to hang out or talk to her, it either seems awkward or might not even happen at all. Whenever I talk to her online she is busy working on homework or she is about to leave for practice. I was never really good with timing when talking to people online; sometimes I will just IM freely without considering what time it is, which results in people having to log off because they are truly very busy and need to get there shit done (pardon the expression).
I've also experienced some bad luck while trying to talk to this girl. I've tried organizing a dinner date or two, but I have had to cancel both of them because I had unexpected meetings pop-up or what not. I invited her to go the mentalist here last week, but she had a lot of homework and was very stressed out. There have also been times where I have tried to call her or text message her, and I don't get a response back. Most of the time it is because my calls or text messages do not register at all! It's like God is trying to tell me to lay off or what not.
So that's what I am going to do. I am going to lay off for awhile. I'm just going to try to hang out with her and see what happens and maybe when her season and my cross country season are over, there will be more time to go out on dates or what not. But for now, I just need to sit along and enjoy the ride. Good stuff happens when you least expect it.
