Several readers have asked me about Rachelle's first reaction to my question. I choose not to post her exact words on this blog. Nonetheless, here's a summary of her message:
- she does not live in my neighborhood
- she lived with her sister for a few weeks (who lives in my town)
- she has just graduated with her bachelor's degree
- she is currently doing an internship with a bank
- she hopes I'm motivated for my classes :-)

So far, so good. I intend not to interpret her message. After all, it is difficult for me to guess what she meant by the words she chose.

I wish I had more empathy. I wish I knew whether she will eventually be impressed by the efforts I take, or will take.

Taking a look at her actions; I would definitely consider myself the luckiest guy in the world already if, for instance, she wrote "I like you" on a coaster to me. Seriously.

The question remains; how could I ever know? At what point should I ever stop courting her? If I did have an answer to this question, I would certainly take any effort necessary to win her heart. This is for sure.

For now, my dear bloggers; I'm simply going to wait for another response.
