Elliptical Girl Part II

Yes! There is an Elliptical Girl Part II! If you’re unfamiliar with  Elliptical Girl, I urge you to read my first Elliptical Girl story. Ok, now on to today’s story.

I haven’t seen Elliptical Girl as often recently due to conflicting schedules. So when I have seen her, I’ve tried to talk to her a little bit more, get one bit of information every time we see each other. I haven’t seen EG all week, so I was really hoping to see her today. I decided to work in the courtyard, by the gym, to hopefully run into her. Well, being a stalker paid off. I saw her.

We had our usual hello, how’s the weather conversation and that seemed like that was the end of it, just like every other day. Except today, even though she was walking past me, she was lingering a bit more. To keep her around, I asked her how her acting was going. Perfect question. We then went into a really easy conversation about her acting and the crappy people of LA. We talked about the crappy people in LA and how people can become so jaded and you that you have to find genuine, good hearted people in LA. I added when you do find these people,  you need to hang on to them.  This conversation struck a cord with her and she voluntarily transitioned to talking about her boyfriend.

Elliptical Girl said that she met him in her acting class, which she admitted might not be a good idea since none of the relationships from the class have lasted. She said that he’s getting jaded by LA and that they’re having problems even though they haven’t been dating for a long time. On the outside I said something comforting, but on the inside I was jumping for joy (OMG OMG OMG!!!). Immediately after, she asked me if I was dating someone. I quickly said “No.” I said it so quickly I thought I had to recover to make it seem like I wasn’t a sad, lonely. My rational was to tell her that I had three dates in the last three weeks, thinking that would give her impression girls wanted to date me.  HUH? I quickly diverted the attention from three girls to one particular date I had last week.

I told her about taking a girl to the Dodger game and how I thought it would be a cheap date (because I got free tickets). I proceeded to describe parts of the date, mainly that this girl ordered a ton of food. By this time I was comfortable, smiling, and we were both laughing. Not the fake, obligatory type of laughs, but real laughs that make you bend at the waist. There was some sort of rapport, no question. Our conversation started to go all over the place, the type of conversation you have when there is no agenda and you’re just in the flow.

Elliptical Girl asked me about my business (which I had told her about weeks ago). I briefly talked about some things I was working on, but I guess I said, “I’m having a lot of fun with it.” She remarked that it was good that I was enjoying myself, which I think she found important after our conversation about jaded actors. This triggered talk about her website and how she needs to get it updated. She kept telling me she was having problems with it and she needed to talk to web designer about changing it (She didn’t ask me to help her). I said I’d take a look at it, she was sheepish about giving me the URL, but I coaxed it out of her. The reason why she was sheepish? Because she makes a living as a model. All her photos of her in bikinis and lingerie. Oh. My. God. I thought she was beautiful in her workout clothes and no makeup, but her photos are absolutely stunning. Nevermind her perfect body, when I look at her photos, I see that smile that greets me in the gym. The smile that makes me feel that the day was a success just because I saw her.

So it seems, the chapter on Elliptical Girl is not over.  We ended up talking for nearly 30 minutes. She told me her relationship was rocky, she asked if I was seeing someone, and we laughed a lot. Please LA Idiot readers, tell me, am I reading too much into my conversation with her? Or do you think I have a legitimate shot with Elliptical Girl? What’s my next move?
