She did, sat right next to me which was why I could no longer communicate (showed up extra late, next to me was one of few remaining options)
Made the ask, got a "not today," so made a hard ask for next Wednesday which she agreed to, quite informally. She was busy typing an email on her phone so I didn't stay to chat.
So I got my "further into October" after all, but don't feel especially good about it for some reason. Perhaps because i wanted this to be over by today (one way or another, mini-date or flat rejection). Postponement prolongs the stress.
Oh well, Smash Bros this weekend, and my cousin's wedding. Won't be at home climbing the walls.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
