Looks like I am getting ditched. I did the blank text thing...
Me: (blank text)
HB: Sending girls blank msg's in your spare time now?
Me: What? Come on babe, you don't need to make a "you sent me a blank message" excuse just to talk to me.

HB: Haha oh get me a bucket!
Me: Really, it wasn't me, must've been someone else :p Do you like to play pool?
HB: Why do you ask? :p
Me: Why do you think?:p I feel like playing pool, what are you up to this weekend?
HB: I have to catch up with visiting friends and... (basically says she isn't free). To be honest.. I'm not a huge pool fan haha.. unless its a pool party!
I then call her and tease her about being the only person I know that doesn't like pool but had to cut the conversation short because of work. I then send a text, "We'll catch up another time, how's next week looking?" and got no reply.
I've been living the single life for a while now and all the girls I only want a casual relationship with end up wanting a relationship, but this girl has caught my attention and is the first I've met in a long time that I wanted to get to know better to see if she could be a GF. Is there anything I can do or is it a waste of time?
Dsbubba: We had a date and kissed about a month ago and she went away for 3 weeks on holiday, plenty of texting going on, mostly initiated by her. She got back in town and this is when the second date as described in the first post happened.
