"I'm madly in love with you" FTW...
Take a good look at the userpic I chose for this entry, my friends...
Today, in the midst of "Happy Hour" with my 3 favorite co-workers, I told my crush that I liked him.
And you know what? I wasn't so far gone that I was a silly, drunken mess. I made a conscious decision - now or never.
So, when he had to leave early to go meet a group of friends, I walked him out...we talked for a bit outside, then I went to his car...and said, "Listen, I need to say this, and I know I'm going to feel like an idiot on Monday...but I'm madly in love with you." I went on to explain that I'm not REALLY madly in love with him (he knows me well enough to know that I exaggerate), but I wanted to put it out there...
He was kinda like, "Yeah...no kidding..." and then I gave him an easy out - told him to go join his friends, and went back to the bar.
So...don't know what's going to happen. He's actually a pretty cool guy, and I don't think this will affect our friendship in the likely event that he's not interested. But I'm glad I said it...I'm actually proud that I said it. I don't like playing games and stuff...I like to lay it all out on the table.
Whatevs.
After he left, my friend Billy (aka - my Jacob) showed up (I had been texting him about what I should do) for moral support. He was actually gonna pull my would-be BF aside himself and say...I don't know...tell him something. But he left before Billy got there. I gotta give Billy props for the awesome devotion he exhibited. In fact, I was a bit miffed the other night for having to " take care" of one of my friends, and although I didn't say anything, I realized that I'm kinda sick of the whole "being the responsible one who has to take care of everyone all the time." Billy showing up reminded me that there are a few people out there who are ready and willing to take care of me, even when I refuse to ask for it.
I'm also really glad he got to meet my other co-workers...
And now...I'm out. It was a very long week...
