I met a girl a couple weeks ago. She asked me out for Tapas and we chatted a few times on the phone - but I have not been able to meet up since I am crazy with work
(on road with sports marketing)

She is attractive and divorced - and now lives with her parents until her condo lease begins in a month and she is back on her own.
I am tied up until the end of the month. So, we've tried to keep in touch. But, this is where it gets... confusing. I feel like I cannot communicate in a straight line. But still, I don't understand, but I have tried to be clear as possible:

MY TEXT: How's life? I'll call after work to say hi.

NO RESPONSE

MY Call: Hey, it's me, work is done. I wanted to say hey... gimme a ring when get a sec.

NO RESPONSE

3 days later:

-HER TEXT: Hey U. What's up? I have been sick with flu (caught from the kids I teach I presume) I am a lot better now... How are you?

MY TEXT: Sorry you're sick. Bummer. I am fine. I'll call you Sunday to see how you are doing.

HER TEXT: Sounds Great!

I called her today (Sunday). No response. A new week starts tomorrow... Is this a game of keeping me within arm's reach or just bad luck?
Is it a girl thing to let it slide... It happens in life, but rarely with me, as I'd feel guilty for being rude :-)

She's 32 years old and seems hard working and sane... Maybe we've just crossed wires, but am not sure...

She could be really busy, or she could be stringing you along. Try waiting it out for another couple of weeks. She could have more men than just you, or she could have a different situation at home than she let on, like a husband and kids. Or she could have been sick and now busy at school or wherever. Anyway, like I said, just give it a little more time and you should be able to figure out what the case is. Good luck.

The teacher is busy. She must have a life she enjoys, without you in it.

Maybe saying hi, and call me, isn't impressing her, so ask for a specific date, and she what she says.

If it ain't happening, it ain't happening!

I'll let you know!

Every good mystery needs an ending.
