snuck right up on me...
So, the day before Valentine's Day, this guy came in to the candy store while i was working, handed me a cute pink and green and white cake, and told me, " I think you're really adorable, and I've been too shy to say anything to you when I've come in here to buy candy, and I'd really like to get to know you better. And uh, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! "
....Yeah, I know. Precious, right? I've been talking to him for the past two weeks now and he's really an awesome person. He's quite adorable himself and super sweet. I just don't know if I'm ready to date yet. We've hung out a couple times, and each time I learn more things about him that make HIM even more adorable, and he says the same. And he does sweet things like visits me at work, opens the car door for me EVERYTIME!!!, and texts me to say good morning everyday....
I guess when I get right down to it, I'm not exactly ready for this. And he knows that. I don't feel ready to graciously accept or expect the guy to pay for the food, and I'm not ready to meet or talk to his parents, and I'm certainly not ready to do anything more than hug. I'm just trying to keep my head above water and not get swept away by how sweet he is. I want to keep sane and level-headed, because I told myself that the next time I date, I want to know the person really well. And that's what I'm doing. I'm becoming his friend.
And did I mention he looooves cats and he did the Napoleon Dynamite dance in front of his high school? * SWOONS AND GIGGLES *
Other than that, life has been okay. I've been going to a new church with Rocky and it really is working out pretty well. The preaching is solid and feels a lot like my old church, which is nice and homey. It feels like I'm finally getting back on track with my faith and it feels like a big, gratifying * sigh * of relief.
