Lawyering Through Life

Boy Meets Girl

A typical Saturday night out in the District. Boy sees Girl. Girl notices Boy. Boy and Girl meet. They converse. They laugh. They flirt. A connection is made. Boy asks for Girl's number. She obliges. Boy calls next day. To have lunch the next day. Girl already has plans. [Which turns out to be divine intervention - as Girl's apartment has no water and let's face it, Girl stinks.] Boy asks Girl out for drinks that week. Again, Girl obliges. Boy and Girl meet again. More conversation, laughter and flirting. Boy says all the right things. Makes Girl laugh. Really laugh, not the courtesy laugh girls often indulge their dates with. Girl thinks Boy is great, Girl is great, this is great.

Girl speaks too soon. Hasn't heard from Boy in days. Girl doesn't like to play games so Girl initiates contact. An innocent text to see how Boy's week is. Girl receives aloof reply a few hours later. Girl stares at reply for a few minutes, somewhat confused and begins to analyze reply. Girl stops, reminds herself of Lenten promise, and deletes message.

Stupid Boy.
