...Just Friends, Or What?

The last week or so has found me in somewhat good spirits. Even though The Model and I haven't gone out (yet) per se, women have been taking an interest in my life. Perhaps it's just me noticing, but it seems like I'm getting a few more looks and glances from the opposite sex.

Which kind of brings me to today.

I finally talked to a new girl at work. It's been almost a month, and aside from the usual hi and bye that we have during business hours, I really didn't make time to get to know her. That was, until last week. We sat down for lunch and got to know each other better.

Which lead to us taking the train home a few days later, to where I invited her out for a drink with my buddy. She ended up not coming but I found out we live only a station away from each other and also go to the same gym.

Which lead to her asking me to work out with her today. Which we did. And then had lunch.

Over chocolate pancakes, fries, omlettes, and coffee, she asked if I would go with her (again) to the gym tonight. I agreed, but only if she'll run an errand with me afterward.

I don't think I've made friends so fast. And I noticed something about myself today. I always do the same thing when I'm getting to know a new girl: I fight this little battle in my head about whether or not I'm attracted to her.

She is very attractive, by the way. Great eyes, great smile, a killer body, and a charming accent (she's from South Africa.) Of course, she has a boyfriend, who we talked about a little today.

What I think is pretty strange, though, is her willingness to hang out so often with me in one day, especially someone she just met. I guess what's going through my head is whether or not she's interested in me in that way. I mean, it could be her just wanting to be friends. And maybe no one's taken in interest in me that boldly in a while, so I'm just wanting to see it that way.

Any thoughts?
