I grabbed a spoon :)
Well last night, Martin, Clare and I went out to the traffic light night at the student union. Mostly cheesy old skool pop music, but great for nostalgia :) While dancing I kept exchanging glances with this totally hot girl, even smiling a few times. When I was at the bar she was standing relatively close by. As we waited for drinks she edged nearer til she was pretty much right beside me. Since I think I saw her looking a few times from the corner of my eye, I turned to face her and we shared a few smiles and laughs over the music. She had a beautiful smile. When she left the bar her arm brushed pretty heavily against mine and man it felt awesome. Didn't see her for a while until later, a gap cleared in the dance floor and we were looking right at eachother again. Again she flashed this totally amazing smile. Eventually I gave Martin permission to go up and ask her if she was straight. She was. Oh well. He said that she smelled as beautiful as she looked, and that was just her hair!
The moral of this story? Well, while it wasn't me going up and talking to this girl, that is the first time I've ever allowed anyone to ask a random girl something like that. She said she was straight, which, right now, will have to be how things are judged since I haven't started hormones yet. But if I hadn't let him ask then I would never have known. Maybe in a year's time, with my changes, she would have been interested. Either way, there was certainly something there between us, I'm not the only person who noticed. That's a big deal for me. I see it as a massively positive step forward. As Ross said in Friends - "I just grabbed a spoon."
