Desesperada!!!

Hi. Well, I was looking for inspiration on Craig´s list, but I found something better. A master piece. An x-ray into a porteña´s brain. I don´t want to say too much, just read it:

I met someone 3 weeks ago. I´m from here but he is from other country. I can say that we both belong to the same continent. Our ages are similar. We haven´t seen each other much. You may be asking yourself what the complication is...

He made it clear he liked me. I do like him. But...

I FEEL I BLEW IT!!!
Reasons?

> He gave no signs of asking me out again (funny if he´d said he´d found me good looking)
> His last goodbye was cold (no comment about calling me again or writing me etc.) i was hoping for a kiss but is it soon for a man from other culture?
> He never asked about my plans for coming days
> up to now no calls o messages (2 days after we saw each other last time)

Positive points about him to me:
> it was/is clear that he was not dating anyone (he lives alone)
> he never "no" to my suggestion to see each other-responded fast to my suggestions
> listened to me
> looked at me
> he enthiusiasticallyl agreed to see each other (3 times, first short outing)

About me?

> I haven´t dated in a long time, therefore I became/become very impersonal
> I never asked him what his likes where (just found out after I´d seen him last, how stupid of me!)
> I kept talking about general stuff
> I shifted my eyes too many times (Because his are so beautiful...)
> I cannot read him since he is from other country WORST PART!!!!!!!!!
> I have problems with signals from him in general BAD!!!
> I kept thinking how much i´d like to see him more to get to know him better (then losing concentration on the moment i was spending there and then with him)
> I continued thinking about his comment about me being goodlooking (thoght it was just a remark to get close to me)

i sincerely think that if i sent him a simple e-mail, suggesting that we could see each other again, he maybe is going to tell me to find other "chat buddy" or maybe he is going to be more polite saying that he is busy at the moment. This would certainly kill me!!! it would be the end!!!

I liked him. To me he is attractive. He is caring -to me he was-. He listened to me. His eyes are something from other world (should I tell him?) His hair colour is very nice too. He is (apparently) wellbalanced. He knows what he wants. He is focused. The type of man I need. I like him physically too


I am not the type to be so open and say such things to a man but... what signals should i have given him to make him understand that I like him?
would i be a fool if i call or write him to suggest to see each other (with an excuse?) what are the signals expected? I have never dated a man from his country. what are the signals in his country from woman?

Is it over and done with in the mind of a man from this country? -developed one-

I feel a fool.
He is no fool.
Am i a looser? have i lost him? should i have to wait? how long?

Heroes in the city

This is a story of human kindness. A story that will bring tears to your eyes.
This is the story about a stupid girl who locked herself out of the apartment without noticing it (she forgot the keys inside) an when she came back half-drunk from a party at 2.30 am, she searched for the keys for half an hour till she realized that she was in trouble. This is the story about me being an airhead!
So, I never lock the door. I live in a building with a lot of security, and that makes me feel safe enough.
When I came back from the party and I realized that I couldn’t get in, one of the security guards gave me the phone number of a cerrajero (locksmith) so I called him. He said he would be in my place in 10 minutes, so I got to spend time talking with the security guards for the first time. I have to say they are really fun. They told me stories about the people from the building. Like, there is a group of old people, who comes down from their apartment at 7.50 pm, just to make sure that the tennis court is closed exactly at 8pm (bitches). This same group, wants to force an internal "law" so people with kids and pets can’t walk through the hall with them after 8 pm. apparently, for this people, life ends at 8pm. Get real! You are in Buenos Aires. You live in the middle of the city. All your neighbors are at least 30 years younger than you. Buy plasma and stop bothering us. I want to play tennis after 8pm!!!!
Anyway, all this blah blah is just to give you my recommendation of this locksmith who will go to your place at 2, 3, 5 am or whenever you need. I don’t even know his name, but this is his number: 155.966.2119

Great news!!!
