It's Christmas Eve. I'm onboard my plane in Chicago, getting ready to fly to Memphis. People start streaming onto the aircraft; one of them is this gorgeous girl... And at this point, you exceeded the expectations of anything Derek has ever posted in his life. It's one thing to just share an extended story of something you're obviously very excited about. It's another thing to have to be led by the nose through every single discovery and endeavor he reluctantly makes throughout the course of his life. And he's gay. I wouldn't worry about the call lasting as long as it did, though, as long as that awkward silence itself didn't amount to 45 seconds. I've never been one to believe in petty "rules" like those anyway, but I think all it means is that the longer you spent on the phone with her, the more likely you'd be to screw something up. If you're confident with the way everything went, you should be alright. Good luck! |

You left me with the impression from the phone call that she's not as enthusiastic about getting to know you as you are her, but who the hell knows? I certainly wasn't there and it's very possible you're not any worse off than you were after your connecting flights departed.
At the very least, you're still looking to gain a platonic female friend, and there's nothing wrong with that, but also there's nothing preventing that from developing into something more over time.
I echo Steve's second paragraph.

I don't know how much of a heterosexual perspective you would get from me, but my 2ยข also echos crash46's second paragraph.
I'm curious to know what her response was when you gave her the final response and how she sounded. You seem to be bothered by the length of the call and the short awkward silence, but I don't think either is that relevant. Regardless, best of luck!
