No we didn't... Another part of the problem was that she'd assumed I lived 
with my brother there, but in reality I live a 4 hour drive away.  But I 
know what you mean about seizing the day, and if I'd really been 'into' 
her then I probably would have gone on a date.  Once things settle down a 
bit I'll probably get in touch again and might go out with her somewhere 
just to make up for the way things happened (my brother wants me to make 
it a double date - get her to bring a lady friend along for him!).  The 
logistics of being where I am make it not as straight-forward though, even 
without all of the other stuff (which is far more complex than what I've 
mentioned here, but with time will become less so).

Oh, it does; it's very flattering!  It's not often (at least not for me!) 
that someone tells you're cute and that they like you :O  In fact I don't 
recall that ever happening to me before, and in general I can't think of 
any girl that has asked out a guy... it's always been the other way around.

Life is a funny thing...
