I’m seeing someone.

Yes, I am. I’ve been seeing this girl for about a month now. It’s a kickback to a time I was seeing several other girls, and happened to go out with her, then got involved with her exclusively for like two weeks.

We’re again involved this time around (yes, I’m aware of the fact that I’m breaking cardinal rule number one: never get back together with a girl you’ve broken up with).

And it’s hard. It’s excruciatingly hard. As it turned out, she couldn’t meet me for New Year’s celebration.

(I’m breaking this story for one paragraph to tell you how the New Year’s celebration was: it was fantastic. We partied, danced and drank continuously and copiously till 9:30 AM at a small place called Sasha, right down the lobby of the Barceló Colón Miramar resort in Salinas. I dunno if spending 60 bucks a head was worth it, but me and my crew enjoyed an unforgettable night entirely devoid of sorrows and chock-filled with thrills.)

I’ve been missing her for the past few days. That, coupled with several misunderstandings (partly brought to you by the enterprising folks at Porta), hasn’t helped a bit. Thing is, it feels like she’s not into me at all. I hate to mathematize the issue, but I know she’s in the sixties (60%) and I know it’s just a matter of time till she breaks the 90% barrier (after all, we’re talking about me here). So then, why do I feel like I’m not making any progress? Am I being too impatient?

I’ve been sweet, understanding and attentive. None of that seems to have mattered now, because she seems unappreciative. There’s a lesson to be learned here: giving people what they say they want is definitely not the way to make them happy.

I’m sure I can break it off and shake this unsatisfactory feeling off in a snap — the question is, do I want to? My current reply (you can quote me on that) is “not at the moment”. But I’m prepared to do whatever it takes. Not “whatever it takes” in the sense of keeping her with me, but whatever it takes to ensure my own happiness.

I know this post is low on details (and intentionally so). But maybe this girl deserves a chance. What do you guys think?
