Butterflies...
So, I got on here to write something earlier. Clearly, I had nothing to write about because I've said everything already. However, as I pondered what to write because it's been a while, I received an IM from someone. It was Richard. He asked me what was going on and asked if I wanted to go to a cafe and study ("They have $1.00 off mochas for those who voted today!!!"). Seeing that I enjoy spending time with him and have been thinking about a way to spend more time with him without putting myself out there too much, I accepted the invitation.
As we walked the distance to the place, conversation was rather predictable: "How are you? How's school? How's the job treating you? Who'd you vote for? " Now, I knew this was coming, but I did not expect him to come out and straight up ask me like that. I responded by saying that I did not like discussing that issue and he's like, "Come on. Tell me." So, eventually he figures out who I voted for by asking round about questions. And of course, his vote was completely opposite from mine. But, we did not dwell on that. He said, "I think the candidate that I didn't vote for is going to win." And I said, "No, I think the person who you voted for is going to win." Then we both sat there and said, "I hope you're right." That was quite funny. As I sat there laughing, I began to think that I can get over his difference in political views; after all, everything can't be perfect.
So, while we sat there 'studying,' Richard kept on being his ADD type self. He cannot keep still or concentrate for too long worth anything! We talked about a lot of things in the short amount of time that we were there. While we're talking, he says, "You should come along on Monday night to a bar with me and some friends. Yep, you're coming." And I'm sitting there thinking, "Dang, do I even have a choice in this?" But I must say, I was happy that he invited me to go out next Monday. I told him that I'm writing it down in my planner and he said, "Do it." So, we shall see how that one will go.
While I keep getting the 'friend' vibe from him, I'm still wondering if something else could be there from his end. Because I know I'm feeling something else. As we walked back, some guy he knew from where he lives saw him and began to walk with us. So much for talking some more. Anyway, eventually I had to take a different path to go back to my place. As I said goodbye to the two of them, Richard said, "Wait a second. Give me a hug. We should do this again sometime." And I smiled and said, "Yeah, we should."
(Butterflies) I can't help it. So, I guess there's some progress. And I did not even have to initiate it. So, what's next????? Inquiring minds want to know. And I, myself, am the main one.
