[QUOTE=Happy Scrappy Hero Pup] Nah, the message was definitely a blow-off. It was more well-crafted, in tone and wording, than some disclaimers I’ve read. [/QUOTE] Women are much better at that sort of stuff than us chaps. It is a measure of your growth, young **Pup** , that you recognise this. ---

Isn’t there not any reason you shouldn’t not call Claire? ---

[QUOTE=shelbo] Call her and leave her a long message about how you can’t stop thinking of her. And send her deep red roses, with a mushy card telling her she’s always on your mind. And wait for her after class and ask to walk her home. And meet her outside her apartment in the morning to ask if she’d like to walk to class. Girls LOVE that kind of stuff, trust me! [/QUOTE] You forgot standing under the streetlight near her room window singing “Leaning… leaning… leaning on the Everlasting Arms…” at 1 am. The chicks REALLY go for the psycho-preacher Robert Mitchum thing! ---

Personally, I think you should call her again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. Until she changes her phone number and stops giving it out for people to call her so that she can blow them off for her own amusement. But I would NEVER suggest stalking her. That’s creepy. ---
