In which I make a big deal out of what's probably nothing

Those of you who read here regularly (thanks for doing that, by the way) may have noticed I haven't posted all that much lately.  Allow me to explain:  I recently met a girl online, and I didn't want to share my excitement too early in fear of jinxing it.  For the time being, I will only say that she's a highly interesting lady, and I find her rather attractive.  Messages were sent, and slowly but surely, a vague sort of plan was made to meet up.  The thing is, she hasn't contacted me in a few days now.  Granted, she did tell me she was going on vacation, but at this point, I'm getting slightly anxious about things.

And since this is my life we're talking about, odd things started to happen just after that.  I recently received an email from Little Red, who apologized for how she acted with me before, and offered her friendship, which I accepted.  She also added that the other guy she was interested in at the time (which I may have neglected to mention in the original story) had dumped her recently.  While this might be incidental information, I can't help but think she might want to give dating me another try.  Then again, that could just as easily be me projecting my own feelings on things, considering the above situation.
And for some reason, my mind keeps coming back to this, which is just plain frustrating.

So, I'm kind of stuck in this strange place of having to be patient while constantly having no real idea of what's happening.  I feel as though I've been put in a straitjacket, and every time I loosen the restraints a little, someone comes along and tightens them again.
