well Merc, i tried to tell ya not to get your hopes up. i have been there more times you can shake a stick at. I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL!! as for her not showing up, the guys are probably right. if she has a kid and is going to school, she is very busy. just wait it out and see what happens. from what i read, i dont think she is as serious as you are. meaning that you REALLY like her and she just may think you are pretty cool for now. you get what i am saying? just try to relax and TRY not to think of her so much, (i know that is hard as hell to do!) it will lessen the blow for you. i bet her buddies may see her and tell her that you were waiting for her and they will probably tell her about the rose. so if she knows that you are interested, she most likely may show up next weekend. i feel bad for ya. it happens to all of us though! uggh! that feeling that you get when your heart just drops! you know what i mean. good luck Merc
