More Stripper Confusion (Or "Does She Really Like Me?," Part MCMX!!)

Once upon a time, I met this girl. She was dancing at what was, at the time, my favorite club. Wasn't really my type but, boy, this girl could flat-out dance. I have rarely seen anyone who could do it better. She could actually dance and she could do every pole trick and seemed to do it effortlessly. I always tipped her on stage and she would occasionally come by and chat. I refused her dance requests but she still seemed happy to hang out and talk.

Flash forward a year or so and, after not seeing her around (she told me she was moving out of state,) she showed up at another club that I visit from time to time. I was pretty drunk and she was pretty wasted as well and we ended up doing several dances. The dances themselves were not great but we ended up pretty much making out the whole time. We traded numbers and stayed in touch. I visited her at the club a few more times and repeated the previous experience.

She moved around from club to club and I eventually lost touch with her. I later found out she was dealing with a drug problem. I always wondered what happened to her. I honestly just hoped she was doing OK.

So she shows up a few months ago at yet another club. It had probably been almost 2 years since I'd seen her. She told me she'd been sober now for quite a while and had danced several places, including Vegas. I was glad she was OK and she did seem to have her life under control so I was happy about that. And then she disappeared again. OK, this really does have an ending so hang in there.

OK, so a few weeks ago, she pops up again, working at the club where we first got friendly. She seems really happy to see me, hangs out for several hours off and on and insists we trade numbers again. I did get a couple of dances from her but nothing too crazy. Since then, we've stayed in touch on almost a daily basis. If I don't text her, she texts me. A week ago, she tells me she is just hanging out and wants me to come out and drink with her at a regular bar. I had to pass but found it interesting that she just asked.

So I see her last night. Got a couple of dances from her and it was pretty intense. Back to the whole making-out thing again and, while there was no extras, she was grinding hard and seemed to enjoy it as much as I did. At one point, she asks me "So, when are you going to ask me out?" which I had no idea how to respond to. If I didn't know better, I'd actually believe she wanted to "hang out" with me.

Honestly, I've never spent all that much cash on her. I've had numerous dancers suggest OTC activities for pay but she has never said anything about that. She's not a particularly "dirty dancer" which, normally, the pay-for-play girls are. And, like I said, she isn't normally the type I go for. So, what do you all think? Like I said, I don't know what to think.
