I have a date!
I have a date on monday! This is the first real date I've been on in ages. The girls I've met on OKCupid don't really count. Even though I did get along with them, there wasn't any real chemistry. I hung out with Karlin again today. We went to the boulder county fair. Saw some bunnies, a HUUUUUUGE horse (19 hands tall), goats, sheep. We went to the American Humane Society and looked at the dogs, took one out for a walk. Ate at Efrain's, and came home and played some video games. But the whole time, it felt like we were hanging out because we thought we should, as opposed to any real attraction or chemistry. Not that I don't want to be friends with Karlin, but it all just seemed a little bit forced.
On the other hand, we have Kasi, the girl I have a picnic date with on Monday. She and I met at the plasma center, she as a donor. She brightens up my day quite a bit every time she comes in. Last week I was in a foul mood, and she gave me a hug as she left to cheer me up. Yesterday, she came in to donate, and though I didn't get much of a chance to talk to her, it was good to see her. Serendipitously, I happened to be setting up someone she knew while Kasi was being disconnected. She came up to talk to the lady I was setting up, and happened to casually mention that she didn't have a boyfriend... the sly girl. I totally wanted to give her my number, but she left before I had a chance. The lady I was setting up said, "I think she has a little crush on you." I replied with, "I think it's a little bit mutual." We talked about her a bit, and I ended up giving the older lady my number so she could give it to Kasi. Couple hours later, I got a text, and spent the rest of the afternoon texting her furtively between sticks. I texted her the whole time I was on my way home from work, and we eventually started chatting online once she was done shopping with her parents. I was up till almost 3 AM talking to her.
I started talking to Kasi this evening after Karlin left, and she mentioned that she has monday off, so we've arranged a picnic. She's making sandwiches, I'm bringing chips, juice, and strawberries. I can't wait. I'm giddy with anticipation. I've had butterflies in my stomach since I saw her yesterday. I'm infatuated. I'm so happy to be feeling this way, to be looking forward so much to just spending time with a person. No expectations, no games, just two people enjoying each other's company. Despite the fact that I don't know very much about this girl, there's a certain Je ne sais quoi between us. I feel very attracted to this girl, and the more I learn about her, the deeper it runs. I'm smitten.
