Turn 82: Kinda awkward, but....
So... another of my close buddies from high school just confessed to me recently. I had heard he had a crush on me back in High school, but he finally came out and said it. I turned him down, of course, I'm just not ready or looking to start a new relationship and he seems to take it well. The thing is this, prior to said confession, the only time I hung out with this guy before was during group hang-outs but now he seems to be eager to spend more time with me.
He kept me company one night while my mom was away on vacation and we cooked and watched some TV, played some cards, nothing particularly eventful. Then he took me out to this nice little teashop in Culver city, Royal/T. granted, I still paid for my own food, but he drove me and would not accept any gas money. He also is asking to hang out again. Am I over reacting or is it okay for me to be nervous and think he's still trying to ask me out??? I trust him to not hurt me or try anything on me while we're alone, but I can't deny that his confession makes me a bit more wary now. .__.
It really doesn't help when mom seems like she might start dating again at the moment... I'm just very uneasy about relationships and romance at the moment >_>
