There are great girls there as well that are doing everything they know how, to win my D's and the other new girl's affections. It is beginning to work just as many of you had predicted. She is actually starting to admit that she likes some of the girls she's met. She really tried not to at first. And believe it or not, she has actually found some girls that seem very much LIKE her. I received a call this morning from a VERY EXCITED D. She met another girl at a service project this morning that played her sport competitively as well and other girl was so excited because she also wanted a team. They will be working on that together now.
While my D is still not ready to commit to staying yet, my sense is that the odds are very good that she will. She still feels the sting of not getting a bid from the "other ones". But is feeling much better. She is pretty competitive and says she'd like to help make #3 as good as the "others ones". If #3 needed a leader, they got their girl. So today, despite the trauma and tears of just about a week ago, all seems right with the world.
