Ok, so I've known this one fairly hot BTG for over 4 years now. She sometimes leaves town for months at a time. She used to be cold and indifferent towards me (what I usually expect), but the last few months has become friendlier and now calls me "boo", and has been calling my cell more often.

I read that "boo" is slang that derives from "beau" and is a term of endearment. Of course, you can't buy endearment but you can buy a very good approximation sometimes !

Lately if I leave my phone on, I get about 10 missed calls from her a week, sometimes a cluster of 3 in an hour, and once at 2:30 am (as I mentioned). Whew !! Yet she always seems calm and kinda sleepy (maybe stoned ?) when I call back and say I can't make it -- she says "Ah, you awright." But I do make it sometimes.

I figure its the sucky economy.
