Tesing For Interest With Capri Pants

So I've been keeping this idea of testing for interest on my mind lately.

Capri Pants and I were playing phone tag for a few days last week. I call her and get voice mail. She calls me back and leaves a message (high interest). Finally I figure I need to end this game of phone tag and I decide to steal a page from my friend's playbook. I call her and I get her voice mail. I tell her to meet me at a museum at 4:00 on Sunday if she can; if not call me back so I know not to expect her and then we'll figure out some other time to meet up.

She calls me on Saturday and tells me that she can't meet me on Sunday. She just got a job as a waitress and between that and school she's very busy. (Great, I think to myself, she's trying to tell me she's too busy to see me and let me down easy--low interest) Then she hints that she might have some free time earlier on Sunday. (Okay, maybe I'm wrong--high interest) I'm busy at that time though, so I just tell her to e-mail me her schedule for the week, which she does (high interest).

I arrange for us to grab a drink after she gets out of school yesterday. She calls me a few times that evening to update me on when she thinks her class will get out (high interest). I meet her after class. She's wearing heels and a casual, yet low-cut shirt--not really the kind of thing you'd usually be wearing to school (high interest). I give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek (I didn't chicken out this time).

We sit down and start talking. She's very subtle and not very playful with the conversation. I think that's just how she is though and not a sign of low interest. I tried being extra silly and ridiculous to try and get her to be more playful...I got some laughs but that's about it. She's just a very shy and reserved girl, I guess. Although she did keep hinting that she is free on Saturday (high interest). The conversation went well. No long, awkward silences; good connection; upbeat and fun over all.

We lose track of time and leave around 11:30. She usually takes the bus home from school, so I offer to give her a ride since it's late. I let her in the car and we take off. We talk a bit more on the way back. She directs me back to her place. I pull into the parking lot around midnight. We hug and say good bye. As she's getting out, she keeps telling me "good bye" and "I'll talk to you later" over and over again--like maybe three or four times (high interest). Then as I'm turning the car around to leave, I notice that she keeps turning around to wave at me (high interest). She takes a few steps toward the door, then turns and waves, then takes a few more steps...

I'd say it went pretty well. I'm beginning to realize though that this girl is very passive and if I'm going to take this anywhere I'll need to be very good and confident in taking the lead and setting the tone.
