The Day She Showed Up at Starbucks Wearing an Invisible Hat

So after taking a long break from the second time...
I decided to try one final 3rd time... I thought... she must know me well by now... so she shouldn't be afraid to meet me...
That was not the case however...
The first two times, I was saying to myself, were my mistake... I thought she agreed to meet... but she never did... so if she never confirmed that we will actually meet, it is my fault... I shouldn't be broken...
I kept telling myself... maybe she was unable to respond to my calls or messages... I kept defending her... and on the other side... I wanted to defend myself too... but... it only works one way...
I asked her out again... and I wanted to make it as easy as possible on her....
"Let's meet somewhere close to your job..." and she agreed.
After we negotiated to meet at a Starbucks Coffee not far from where she works... I wanted her to confirm that she will come... and she confirmed...
In my mind... that was different... this time she confirmed... she should show... but deep down I kept having doubts... her confirmation was only a "yea".
3:15pm, I'm at Starbucks Coffee... I ordered a cappuccino and waited... and waited... and waited... then I began writing... I began writing to try and lay my pain on paper...because I knew... she fooled me a 3rd time... this time it was different for me... even though I was hurt... I laughed about what she did... so I sent her a text message... knowing she will not respond...
But she did...
I sent her: "You are baaaaad." Then she responded by asking me why do I think she is bad.
My response: "You showed up at Starbucks wearing an invisible hat."
She never responded to that... No surprise there tho... I said what was on my mind...
I told her... "You're going in my blog! I'm gonna keep writing about you. Thank you for inspiring me."
I risked everything... the line between where a girl accept a joke as a joke and calling the one who wrote it "creepy" is very thin...
I was lucky she never called me creepy...
