bear with me
So I haven't been updating on my josh things because...well...since I went to Sarah's house to cheer up about Jenny saying he told her he didn't like me, it's been...weird? And I didn't want to put things on here that I'd have to retract later, especially since Josh fails at sending correct signals towards people. I don't think he even understands the concept of controlling said signals.
LONG STORY TIME
Sarah texted me the day after I was at her house, saying "don't give up on Josh. He's confused. blahblahblah." I might have cared more, but I was just in a generally bubbly mood at the moment and pretty much just said "lol k". I had already decided, maybe foolishly, maybe not, that I wasn't gonna give up on him, because it was a ridiculously rewarding crush, seeing as he is extremely complementary to me and very sweet.
Lots of stuff happened between then and now that caused me to kind of seriously question Jenny's assurance that he didn't like me. Eventually to the point where I was confused and thinking Jenny was straight-up lying about Josh not liking me, because he was being so...obvious. Not flirty. Man does not know how to flirt. And Jenny lying to me is one of the things I could never ever imagine happening, so that goes to show...something.
Yesterday, where our story really truly starts, is a lovely example.
Oh, to expalin quickly- Coming up in two weeks is the "Mormon Prom", which is the formal dance we get hosted by our church every year. It's a big thing, and for some people who ditch Prom, it ends up being their prom. Plus its free and the dancing is not disgusting. Et alors, it's wonderful...and for me, it really is like my prom this year, since my parents and I are going to Disney World this year over prom(!!!). That's a whole 'nother story. Mormon Prom, in our circle of friends, has a tendancy to cause drama regarding who's going with whom, as dates aren't necessary, but very much normal.
Now, back to this. Yesterday, during lunch, I think he brought up Mormon Prom and questions about my plans/if I had a date/who I wanted to ask me/if I even wanted a date every five minutes or so. It was ridiculous. Also, in telling a story from forever ago that including my dad saying he would approve of me dating Josh over all the other boys, he literally shouted "yes!". I reminded him the story was from 2 years ago, and he was quick to be all, "but I'm still high on the list, right?!". Heavens.
Yesterday night, I heard my mom say the door was for me, and there was a string tied to the door, with a note directing me to follow it. There were gummy bears and a note to "bear with me, its almost over" along the way. It took me to Jenessa's house and through her kitchen (there were chocolate coins on the counter with a "this is a golden oppourtunity!" note) and then back out to the backyard. Josh was standing there with a glowy bouncy ball, and he said some bad rhyme something along the lines of "light up" and "mormon prom". Honestly, when he was reciting it, my mind was just going- "goll, this is bad english, I- oh, it rhymes! oh, crap, I have to answer now!!" so I don't remember it. Hah.
I said yes, of course, and since I had wound the string around my hand a bazillion times it took quite a bit of effort from the both of us to get it off. Then I could hug him. I think I might have lingered, but Jenessa was watching through the window and that's awkward. :P
now, that's just the first part of this ridiculous story.
IT TURNS OUT, Sarah's comment about not giving up on him was because she was dang mad at him for upsetting me and chewed him out for leading me on while he liked Tiffanie. He was all "boo, I don't wanna make her sad, I like her too!" which made Sarah even pissier. And somehow, out of her anger, he ended up liking me? I still don't get that part. But that's what she says, and I trust her enough. And since then, just started liking me more and more. Apparently, he was tired of Tiffanie's moodswings anyway. Haha.
She's been talking to both of us seperately for weeks, helping him figure out how to ask me to mormon prom. He's very serious about this, thank goodness, and she said he's freaking out. Apparently texting her things like "were you this nervous with [your boyfriend]?" and "what do I do now that she's said yes?". This, I totally believe. C:
Today at lunch was 100% normal. We and our other tablemates had some quick conversation and ended up playing about 20 minutes of epic hangman. It seemed completely the same as its been any other day. I think that's a good thing, because it should calm him down from thinking ~ohmygosh EVERYTHING IS GONNA CHANGE~. I'm not sure he technically knows I like him yet. (though if he doesn't, he's dumb and just as bad at reading signals as he is controlling his own.)
tl;dr- Josh DOES like me. And asked me to the Formal dance. But he didn't until after I found out he didn't.
Now I guess I'm just waiting for his next move. Because I told Sarah and Tiffanie that I don't want to be the one to fess up (he doesn't either, I'm sure, but that's just too bad for him) and that I'm tired of just going on friend-dates.
