She gave you the in - show her your artwork! (Your etchings, maybe, even.)

And hey, I have a lazy eye. _And_ Jimmy Carter teeth.

Threads like this make me wonder if maybe for every conversation that’s had me wondering what some _he_ wanted, there have been other conversations leaving guys wondering the same thing about _me_…

As for her actions, well, she does seem to want to stay in touch at least. If she’s the type of friend who wants to see you naked, I wouldn’t guess that from the evidence. It could be that way, but don’t pin your hopes on that yet. I doubt she’d say no if you asked her to go for coffee, though, so what do you have to lose by checking it out?

I’m the personification of clueless and I still picked up on that one!

Wait. She asked to see your artwork and you sent her e-mail? Loss of face-to-face opportunity, there… Hope you have more work to offer her in person!

Yeah dude, you totally have to ask her to see your artwork up close. It’s just not the same through the internets, wink wink nudge nudge.

Thank you! They are watercolors.

I picked out the best ones, trying to put my best foot forward.

She hasn’t responded yet. One would think that she had something better to do on a beautiful summer weekend then sit around monitoring her e-mail. The nerve!
