There is a technology called Instant Messaging. It's a non-committal medium of interaction. It's less embarrassing too, especially when one gets a cold shoulder.The best part is, you can't hear the spine chilling coldness in the voice when someone is being nasty. Though I am vary of the emoticons. But I think I'll take my chances. She can always 'not' respond in case I am encroaching.
GulatiM: “Care for some coffee?”
KapadiaD: “Hmmm…just around the corner?”
GulatiM: “Would you like to go a little farther than that?”
KapadiaD: “How far?”
GulatiM: “South Delhi. Ever been to Café Turtle?”
KapadiaD: “Yes.”
GulatiM: “I’ll pick you up then?”
KapadiaD: “I haven’t said yes yet!”
GulatiM: “You just did.”
KapadiaD: That was in response to “Ever been to Café Turtle.”
GulatiM: “Oh Ok. Well…how is Saturday for you?”
KapadiaD: “What time?”
GulatiM: “Nine?”
KapadiaD: “It shuts at 6.”
GulatiM: “No. It opens at 9.”
KapadiaD: “Ah! Breakfast with coffee…I like I like…”
GulatiM: “Hmmm. My # is 9811******. Text me your address.”
KapadiaD: “K.”
My back deserves a pat. I think I managed it just fine. I may have come across as a little pushy, but it’s a man's prerogative to be pushy. He is taken more seriously then, I think.
I am quite pleased with myself… :)
