Edit. Maybe I Spoke Too Soon...
Today frightened me. I guess I don't know why I'm so worried about it. He's not married, he's not serious with his "girlfriend" (or whatever she is)... why am I giving up hope so easily? I wanted to ignore him, treat him like a professor and that's it. But I couldn't do it. Of course.
Because I'm just like him -- I don't think with my head! I think with my heart... and the same sections of the body with which he thinks.
He waited for me after class so we could walk together (like we always do) and we talked for awhile in his office afterward. We avoided the topic of "us"/Valentine's Day like the plague. But it was really nice.
And either way, we flirted VERY HARDCORE! At one point, he and I were standing face-to-face VERY close together. We were talking about this church group I've been contemplating going to (it has a reputation for being cult-like... he says I should go and if I start to change, he'll tell me... I said "So basically I'm your guinea pig?" He goes, "Yeah! JUST KIDDING JUST KIDDING!" It was hilarious!) and he says (with a smile and looking directly into my eyes), "The bottom line is if you want to do it, do it. Forget everyone else." I just smirked and he goes, "Just don't let anyone pressure you into something you're uncomfortable with if your gut tells you not to do it."
OMIGOSH. That SMIRK on his face as he said that! I literally thought we were going to kiss. (I should have, in retrospect.) We were certainly close enough to! He told me I had to come back tomorrow to "talk more" because I was already late for my next class...
Oh man.
