How Very Odd

So, I really liked this kid back when I was 13/ 14 in 8th grade. Only in my usual style, I like creepily stared at him from afar and never said anything. I finally worked up enough courage to ask him to dance with me for the last song at our 8th grade dance. He wanted to dance with Cassie Howells, but she already accepted from someone else. So he tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around and danced with him. Afterwards, I hung out with him until the dance ended. We exchanged AIMs and the two of us went our seperate ways. He never appeared on that night and I was convinced he never liked me and that it was just a pity dance and scratched off the name Chris of my possibilities list.
Fast forward to yesterday, I get an email from OKCupid to which I signed up in February for which reasons I don't even remember. I check my profile and see that it is lacking and spruce it up. I also start answering these rediculous questions they ask you. They throw out some matches, as they call them, but no one was really local. So I go to the local section and staring at me is an attractive 19 year old who I could not place for the life of me. He loves film and seems pretty cool, so I message him. He figures it out before I do that we knew each other from middle school.
So we talk for like... 6 hrs or so and about like everything. Turns out we disagree on like everything. We had a debate over who is better: Elvis or the Beatles. And though I do like the King of Rock and Roll, the Beatles totally own. But I don't mind that we differ on things. Turns out he liked me, too. And there must have been a commnication error along the way, because he said he went straight home and online that night. Oh well... So we're supposed to talk because I had to not so subtley tell him I so have a crush on him again.
I feel like a silly 13 year old girl again and consider the day I had on Monday... it is so welcome.

8th grade, crush
