To Date or Not to Date?

It takes a lot for a person to ask another person out. I haven’t asked anyone out in the last 11 years. Seriously after asking someone out in high school and having that person tell me he was not interested, I decided to leave the asking to the guy. Sure I flirt and think I do a good job at sending signals that I am interested. Lately I have been thinking that the universe has a sense of humor, why else would it be constantly creating instances where person 1 likes person 2 but person 2 likes person 3 who is not available. Reminds me a Portuguese poem I once read about someone loving someone who loved someone else and that person was oblivious and held out hope for someone else who wasn’t even part of this story.

Where am I going with this? Not quite sure except that someone asked me out, and I agreed to go on a date when I am not completely over someone else. And even though the person I am not over, has moved on I am still stuck unable to move forward.
