A few - probably last - words about this one person ...

Last Friday there was an event with live music. She seemed more than happy to dance with me through the first part of the first live set. We even discussed attending the tango weekend organised by our dancing school. We danced more than we normally do. And then, I was hoping for our ride home but it didn't happen., maybe due to miscommunication althoug she know where my bike was parked.

Then yesterday, we met again. We dance, we had a chat but there was no bike ride. The man with whom she's been taking classes for two years had picked her up and drove her home, which seems logical to me as they are used to doing that. What bothers me more is that we had agreed to go for a run the coming week and that she has - as she said - no energy and also the swimming season starts so she will probably prefer swimming. She did say that she really liked the idea and that she would look for another moment. But that was before the but (which makes me think of a popular Jon Snow quote).

That leaves me with the promise that we will attend a tango waltz class in June and a concert later that month, but I am not sure these are really going to happen.

For me, it feels like the whole situation gave me the clarity I need: this will not happen (and I can think of a hundred reasons why we would be a great match) and I am off to the desert for another 2, 4, God knows how many years.

I did not sleep well, for most of the night I have been pondering my original question ... What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this? How can I improve myself?

Also, this "a mixed signal is no signal" quote, to me seems to go beyond merely marketing.
