First off, a word to the skeptics.
1. I have known this girl for at least two years, if not longer, and I can tell you that she is genuine. She is not being troublesome on purpose.
2. She often works 16 hour shifts at her job, and they are night shifts to boot. She must often be totally exhausted. The fact that she is even trying to meet up with me tells me that she wants to see me. Her tired body just sometimes has other ideas. Now, for an update.
I suppose I've been neglecting this thread lately haven't I?
My bike is gone along with a great many others. It looks like Job Corps did one of it's purges of bikes they thought weren't being used. Bastards. I decided I would use public transportation on Wednesday instead, but managed to misremember the bus departure time on Wednesday. Missed the bus. *headdesk* Scratch the bus. I was able to secure another week here while I follow up on a job lead, so I'll be able to see her this Friday!

I used some guilt/flattery to try and increase the chances of her being there. This is what I said:
"You are currently the only girl I know that I would go to the trouble to pretty myself up for. Did it Tuesday, and did it Wednesday. The extra effort is beginning to wear on me. I'll be doing it again on Friday, so you'd better be there. *gives playful look*"
A little flattery, and some mild guilt tripping. Nothing too radical, but I think Friday will be my lucky day!
Guys, she said I could have dinner at her place! I don't know if she's actually making dinner or if it'll be something ready made. Things are just getting better and better. I'm really eager to see what happens tomorrow!
I had a realization about her last night. I fell in love with her a long time ago. Time and distance has done nothing to dim my feelings for her. I really don't know how I'm going to handle tomorrow. Once I leave this place, I'll probably never see her again. Can any of you relate perhaps? You meet that one girl that you think you could be happy with but due to various circumstances, it just can't happen?
Wish me luck!
