How Windows Mobile flaws saved the friendship
After her last mail, I decided to give this up. No point. Sent her an email with the words "bye", among a few others.
At 15:30 my mobile phone rings. A call comes in, from unknown. At the same time an SMS seems to come... I frantically handle the buttons of the Windows Mobile phone, but it seems to freeze on me. I tap on the touch screen - no reaction. The phone keeps ringing, then stops. The screen remains frozen. So who called? Was it her? Did an SMS come from her? The SMS message icon is there, but that could also just be the phone notification.
The phone/PDA remains frozen, I have no other choice than to reset it. Time goes by, endless minutes until the phone is again in its default state. No record of the incoming phone was preserved. No SMS. The info must have gotten lost in this reset.
What should I do? It could have been from her. Maybe an important note... and I missed it.
I cannot take the risk of having lost her through a missed phone call or SMS... I need to find out what she sent, what she wrote, what she wanted to say. So a brief SMS back to her, asking if she just had sent me an SMS. Reply comes, no, she had sent nothing. Question, if I keep my opinion on friendship with women. (Earlier sometime I had written that I do not believe that women and men can be just friends, an opinion that I still hold strongly, despite many exceptions). But I am in a conciliatory mood - reply that it depends...
Since she is still sending an SMS, there is maybe still some hope. And since I am still crazy in love, I now have no other choice than to write her an email "I just cannot let it go like this...". And so the communication is on again. She is in a working relation. Whe just wants my friendship, is interested in me purely from conversations, thoughts, ideas, opinions.
Well, if that is all that I get - is better then nothing. And there may then be still hope in the future.
So I agree.
And now we suddenly have a friendship.
And this is only because of the faulty Windows Mobile phone which had to crash at that point. I never found out where that mysterious phone call came from, at 15:30...
