Invitation
For some time I have suspected that "The" invitation was being focus grouped, field tested, and hinted at. Yesterday, it finally came."I don't have plans so far for the summer if I don't go home. One of my
friends is trying to convince me now to go to Turkey for a holiday with her.
I actually like the idea. On the other hand, I still want to tour around
xxxxxxx before I leave. What would you do for your holiday this year? I
remembered u told me last time u'd help one of your friends to setting up
something for his business. Anyhow, if u'd like to come to Europe for a
visit, I'd be glad to meet you then."
So, what exactly does this mean? Does it mean:
"Come to Europe to visit me."
or
"If you are going somewhere, and that somewhere happens to be Europe, then I could probably meet up with you at some point, some where, maybe."
or
"I'm not coming over there, if that's what you're asking. If you want, ...(pause) you can come here, I guess. I could meet up with you then if that's what you're getting at. Whatever."
Before I commit to the trip, I need to get a better idea which one it is. I've sent off a response making it clear that I'd love to come if we can make our schedules match, and that the main reason I would come is to see and spend time with her. We'll see what that dredge-spoon unearths. This is important, ...it's the difference between a life-altering holiday in Europe with a beautiful, brilliant girl or a fiscal quarter of humid Wisconsin nights spent playing Splinter Cell, listening to baseball, and watching Keen Eddie.
