the waiting is the hardest part

It's tough. I'm out of town, away from my potential lady friend. I last saw her about a week ago, and have had some limited contact since then. It frustrates me to be away, as I skipped town only two weeks into our "relationship." This should be prime smooching, cuddling, quality time. Clearly, my timing is atrocious.

A few texts have been exchanged, but it's been pretty limited. I really want to talk to her, but the near universal advice I keep getting is "play it cool."

Well, playing it cool sucks. It sucks. I know if I overdo it, I'll blow the whole thing, blah blah blah. I just sit here, in an incredibly comfortable chair, periodically checking my phone to see if I've received a message, or looking at the photo I took of her with my phone. I fawn over it. It's true. I feel like such a pansy.
