Coffee with Elizabeth: A post-mortem
In the end, we had dinner, not just coffee. She flirted a lot. However I believe she did so either (a) because she enjoys the power that flirting gives her over men, or (b) she's trying to hone her flirting skills.
She told me she'd been out for coffee with three other guys as well over the past two weeks. Either she's dating as many guys as she can to increase her chances of finding a good match, or she needs the attention and approval of men to feel good about herself.
Abruptly she said: "Do you think we can ask for the bill?"
She did however hug me when she left.
There were some signs of psychological pathology. She became very hostile when I made a throwaway remark that most people would not even have picked up on, but she interpreted it as an insult. Then a few minutes later, she became overly friendly as though to apologise.
I doubt I'll be hearing from her again. It was fun though.
