A middle-school story
In 7th grade, I asked a girl out. I said, "Will you go out with me?"
She responded, "Where?" and laughed at my confusion. I had just wanted her to indicate an interest in me; the details of spending time together could be worked out later.
I still have that attitude, that disconnect from the way most others think of dating, to this day. I'm not so worried about finding someone to spend time with; my days already fill themselves. I just want attention, respect, love. Find that, and the rest will work out well enough.
In other news, I'm completely single again. Whee.
