Search Results: is there any hope

I've been talking to a woman I met through work for a year, but increasingly since Christmas. We went 2 weeks of not talking when we had a disagreement after I asked to meet her a few months back and she said no. But after 2 weeks she reached out to me and we stated talking again. She has a strong history of cutting ties with people if they upset her, so I felt special when she reached out

I've liked this woman instantly since the first time we spoke on the phone. I'm sure there was attraction from her in the early days, but I was too afraid of making a move, so we became friends. I really like her on a personal level, she's amazing. I think I've said enough for her to know I like her without me directly telling her. My god, now I've met her, I think she's the most stunningly beautiful woman I've ever seen

We talk a few times a week, and our calls are at least hour. We are very supportive and caring of each other

Todays her birthday, and I am in her town for other reasons. Last night I told her I had a present for her and if she wanted, I could take it to her, but told her saying no was ok. She told me to take it this morning. This is the first time we've met in person. She's also moving house today so was packing her car when I arrived and she asked me to help. The conversation wasn't flowing as it usually does, it was awkward. She didn't really make any eye contact either. As we were loading the car, she asked if I had to go. I said no, but then she asked again once the car was loaded. She said she was cold and stood with her arms folded and looking into the distance, so I took this to mean she wanted me to go. I said good luck. She said thanks for the gift, and that she'd catch me later. For this she did look me in the eye. She was always smiling but I'm not sure if it was real

I'm feeling deflated now. I had butterflies, and was hoping sparks would fly

What do you think was going through her head. Does she reservedly like me, or was there no interest at all

Victims And Shooter Identified In Nashville School Killings

Authorities identified the three children and three adults who were shot to death at a private Christian school in Nashville on Monday ― a horror the city’s police chief said he hoped “would never, ever come here in the city.”

The student victims at The Covenant School were identified as Evelyn Dieckhaus, Hallie Scruggs and William Kinney ― two of whom were 9 years old and one was about to turn 9. The three adults killed were 61-year-old substitute teacher Cynthia Peak, the 60-year-old head of school Katherine Koonce and 61-year-old custodian Mike Hill.

“When we send our kids to school or to any place of safety, we expect them to live, learn, have fun and come back from that day’s experience. We don’t anticipate things like this,” John Drake, chief of the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department, said at the third press briefing of the day.
Authorities identified the shooter as 28-year-old Audrey Hale, who was killed by officers at the scene. Police believe Hale was a former student. They said the shooter was in possession of three weapons at the school: a rifle, an assault-style pistol and a handgun. Two of the three weapons were obtained legally in the Nashville area and the shooter has “no history at all” of past criminal activities, Drake said.

Police are investigating a “manifesto” they found at Hale’s house that includes a “map drawn out of how this was all going to take place,” the chief said. There is no confirmed motive, Drake said, but police have a “theory that we may be able to talk about later.”

A two-minute video of school surveillance camera footage showed Hale driving to the school and then shooting through a glass door to enter the building.
Once inside, Hale can be seen walking through the hallways holding an assault-style weapon.
