Hi! So first and quickly, I have not heard back from Anne since the perfunctory "You"re Welcome" text I sent before leaving town. I"m sure the next random text is only weeks away.
Me said:
Just over this past weekend I may have re-started something with a girl I"ve been friends with since we were 13. We"ve never even kissed, however over the years we"ve both at one or more points expressed to the other our interest, but for a multitude of reasons things just never worked out. She"s an extremely direct kind of girl, and I"m pretty direct as well.
I was in Calgary/Banff over the weekend, and while driving back to Calgary Saturday afternoon I sent her a text asking if she was in town, as the two buds I was with (they actually went to elementary school with her) and I were going to go out and grab a bite and a few drinks that evening. I sent it 98% because we"re friends and I haven"t seen her in awhile, but in the back of my mind I knew she"d recently broken up with her on again, off again boyfriend over the past 5+ years and even if there was nothing happening relationship wise, she"s very overtly sexual and has said in the past that at some point the two of his should have sex (also that if we"re both not married at 35 we"ll have to get hitched). At worst I have a few drinks with a long time friend, at best I either get a fun non-attachments lay or possibly start something more.
She said she was in town, but that a friend was having a going away thing that night and she wouldn"t be able to make dinner, but might come out for a drink later. I texted back that I"d let her know where we ended up. Later I sent her this text, fully intending the double meaning and expecting her to pick up on it:
"Looks like we are just gonna have a few more drinks at Dan"s and pass out, long day. We will have to hook up next time."
Her response: "Yes, next time you need to come visit just me."
I sent her another text back letting her know I"d be through town several times in the next couple weeks as I"m flying from there to Peru, and then coming back to take an avvy course the following week, and left it at that. It"ll probably end up being yet another chapter in our long history of not hooking up, but who knows right?

So the friend in Calgary, Diane, texted me tonight. Started off with a picture of a "I <3 crackwhores" bumper sticker she saw today, and she again said for me to call her next time I"m in town. I texted back a bit more detail about when I"d be around, she texted back that I should tell my bud in Calgary, his GF, and whoever else would be around that she"d have us over for dinner when it works, I let her know that she just invited about 8 of us over, she laughed and said that if anyone can throw a party it"s her and to bring it on. I laughed and said I was surprised she was playing Suzy Homemaker these days. Her last text was:
"Really, I wouldn"t call it that I would say a "socialite"! Night Mr Big. See u when u r back from your travels. Maybe..."
Something to look forward to on the flight home!
So myself, three buds and one of their girlfriends went over to Diane"s place on Saturday. She made a phenomenal dinner for all of us and we all ate and drank while watching the Oilers shit themselves once again. The three buds and I have been friends with her for years, in my case 15 while two of the buds have known her since elementary school, so it was fun just catching up as we hadn"t seen her in quite some time (I think almost a year in my case).
I could tell she was nervous with me, it was kind of funny almost because normally she"s the most brutally self confident and forward woman I know (most other women hate her because she"s very attractive and blunt at the same time). When we walked in the door she gave everyone a big hug and kiss, but with me she seemed more reserved. Through the course of the evening I could see she was drinking quite a lot, I saw her virtually chug a glass of wine at one point. I was just kind of rolling with it, if things went either way fine. After the hockey game was finished my buds got up to leave, as we all had to be up early the next day to drive to the mountains for an avalanche course, so once again hugs went around, but when it came time for us to hug she came out and said she didn"t want me to leave. I said no worries and told my buds that I"d cab it and see them in the morning, much to their surprise. Needless to say it was a fun evening, but I don"t think either of us have much of an idea what it means.
She"s the kind of woman who has one night stands because she"s horny and because she can walk in to a bar and have any guy she wants (side story, I guess Jeremy Piven was trying to pick her up a few weeks ago). But she mentioned repeatedly how she"d liked me for such a long time. But then again, she lives in Calgary and broke up with her last BF because she didn"t want to move back to Edmonton. I don"t know that I have a ton of romantic feelings towards her, yet, but they could well develop as I"ve had on and off again feelings for her over the years. We"ll see what happens I guess.
Could have been the best sex I"ve ever had, she"s amazing in the sack. However it was my first lay in 6 months, and I was pretty much the guy from American Pie, at least in relation to how I normally do. Fantastic to get the monkey off though, I"m back!
edit: pic provided, but I will be taking it down fairly quickly, even though she"s not overly recognizable due to the facial expression
