This just happened.

This gorgeous girl I hung out with last year. We both like concerts and other stuff. A real down girl. We actually had this amazing time last year that would have been like out of a Disney movie or something if it had been a date. I make a move and it's a no-go.

I'm an adult so I figure, "Hell, no problem. I'm down with being friends."

So, I've been busy lately, not avoiding her, and we talk here and there. I recognize she gets very chatty when concerts come up. We're joking around a week or two ago like normal and I'm like "Hey, we need to go to a concert!" and she's like "Yeah, we do!"

We set it up and it's all good. Now, she said something like, "And if it's lame, we can always find something else to do!"

I do not allow myself to read into this. I'm like that shark from Finding Nemo, "Girl is friend, not girlfriend."

Anyway, my friend who I'm updating on this story and all our little interactions (her complimenting me in specific ways) says these are all clear signals she would use it she was into someone.

I'm just like, "Nah, we're just buddies." But my friends gets to me, and I start to believe it. Just a tiny little spark.

Anyway, a few days before the concert, she hits me up saying she's bringing the guy she's dating and we should double date or invite a bunch of peeps and make it a group thing. The fuck?

By this point, most of the homies I had originally invited had made new plans so I have to try and create a crew to go with me or hang out with her and her beau for a few hours.

I will never, ever understand or trust women.
