That’s a bit of a different situation – in the song, he’s trying to pressure her to sleep with him.

No, it’s worse than you could ever imagine. She feels she has you so whipped that she doesn’t feel the need to respond to every utterance you make anymore. My advice … RUN!!!

But she just told me she can’t see me this weekend after all. I asked (e-mail) if we need to talk and she says yes, but only after she’s thought it through. That really hurts…

Ouch. That doesn’t sound good. Don’t call her-let her call you. Review the last few times you were together–did something happen when you two were with her family? Do you have a hot brother? Maybe she just has a case of the not sures…that’s not neccessarily all bad.

She actually spent 3 days with my family. It’s possible I gave her an overdose of culture shock - my family is a typical loud Asian family and don’t speak much English. And the way I act when I’m with my family is probably very different from how I act when I’m alone with her, which may have given her some second thoughts.

But she just e-mailed and asked if I’m still interested in watching one of the movies we talked about before. Maybe just a “we can still be friends” gesture, maybe more, I have no idea.

What do you mean “start”?
