convergence
I was talking to a friend last night - a conversation all about convergence or mutuality or reaching for each other. It made me wonder if the idea, this feeling I have, that someday I will find a person who I want as much as they want me. Who wants me as much as I want them.

negative ghostrider, the pattern is full
Just received a rejection from a boy on my invitation. Ah well. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. I do feel that my overtures are usually rebuffed, though. Is that becuase I don't do it right?
What is the right way to ask a person out? If I'm going to get to 24 dates (with more than one person) I am going to have to figure it out. Because there is no guarantee that people I am interested in are necessarily going to ask me.
The other boy just called me, and wanted some company - I'm still interested, but just feel like I don't want that distraction right now. Not that I am uninterested - just that I keep hoping for that spark of something more.
The spark that has me reaching - not just being reached for. The spark that makes me want to drop everything, at least for a little while. The spark that has me hanging on their words, listening for their voice for endless hours without excess judgment.
This is why the 24 dates are so necessary, I think.
