"The passing of time."
An interesting evening with this Canadian woman. She worked for a big film company so we had a lot to talk about in terms of movies and the like, so I was in my element. She also told me that she used to work as a PA for Roxy Music guitarist, Phil Manzanera, and that one day Bryan Ferry rang up and was a bit surly. I think that that anecdote was my favourite part of the night in retrospect, as I love to hear anything to do with the white dinner jacketed Geordie crooner.
After a couple of drinks, she said on our way home that she'd like to see me again, and told me to contact her. So I emailed her a couple of days later asking about a second date. She didn't respond for about four or five weeks, and in her reply she said she wanted just to be friends. In the end I didn't actually reply to her, which I know is rude, but I just thought that if she takes so long to respond then what's the point?
