So the story continues...

When I met this chick two weeks ago, and we talked about me working in a fertilizer factory, she jokingly said to get her some for her strawberry plant.

In the weeks since, we had tagged eachother in stuff on facebook once or twice, but never really talked outside of that. Then this week, I took a slight risk. I asked the boss if I could buy a bottle of fertilizer. And as expected he told me to just take it, so I did, and sent her a picture of it saying basically saying "Well, you asked for some fertilizer..."

She was so happy with it, which is great because the alternative reaction would be she is kidding and thinks I am just a social moron who can't read cues. Anyway, we were talking about how I would get it to her, and she asked if my church's young adults were going to their hang out this week (the last two weeks they have invited us to join them. First time I went but she wasn't there and second week, nobody from my church was going. I drove past but her car wasn't there, so I figured she wasn't, and went home), but I wasn't able to. There is a pool bar my group usually goes to and a few people were seeming a little pissy that we hadn't gone to the bar for a few weeks, and I told her I should probably go there, just to keep the peace a bit, and that we'd figure something out.

Anyway, this afternoon I made sure we were actually going there, then in the groupchat we have between our churches, posted an invite for them to join us. She responded that she would be coming and bringing about six people.

So I got to the bar, and her and her group were already there, got a table, and started playing a game against a guy who I know from the church, which I proceeded to win against whilst she was spectating, which is always good for a little confidence boost. For the next game, we managed to rope her and her brother into playing who were both going on about how they're hopeless at pool and it's probably a bad idea, but we got them playing anyway. And look, they weren't wrong, which is good because it meant I was coaching her a bit and helping her out. And at one point she unexpectedly sunk a ball and I was the only person to see it, so she was pretty happy with me at that point.

But yeah, after the game, we were chatting, and I mentioned having the fertilizer in the car, so went to grab that and some camera gear I was lending to a mate who was also there, which she was really happy and grateful for. After that her and I talked a fair bit. And everything was just so easy with her. Even something as simple as what we had on this week became such good conversation. I mentioned that I am going to see Hilltop Hoods (an Australian Hip-Hop band) play this week, and turns out she really likes some of their stuff. We are talking about my studies, and what I will do once I decide I have had enough of my youth work, and I mentioned maybe photography, and that I love automotive and astro-photography. This was semi intentional, as I had done some research on her facebook, and seen a few photos and posts about the moon, and figured she was interested in it. Naturally, she was excited to hear that and see some of my shots, and started asking if I'd teach her how to shoot the sky like I do. Unfortunately, the conversation was interrupted by her brother who was her lift home, asking if she'd be okay if they went home. She left, but asked if I'd be coming along to their church's event the next week, which I plan on doing.

But yeah, I have an even better feeling about this girl. Most of the night, she spent chatting with me, when there are other people she knows better there, and seems like she may be interested and actually wants to see me. I hope it works out. I could really do with a win.
