Tonight was the church dance. And it was AWESOME!!! Some dances, I just can't get into it and the people I'm dancing with keep leaving. But this dance....I danced almost every song. And they had oldies like "Twist and Shout" and "Tootsie Roll," which are SO much fun to dance to!
So, it was pretty great. Except for one thing. Guy friends. A specific guy friend who shall remain nameless but everyone will probably figure out who he is anyway.
This issue is a little complicated. And since I only have 14 minutes until Parental Controls lock me out, there will be lots of typos and possibly a sudden ending.
So, this guy....is annoying. He talks a lot. He calls a lot. But....he's not ALWAYS annoying. Sometimes I really enjoy talking to him....especially lately....cause he doesn't only talk about himself now. He actually asks me questions so that I feel like part of the conversation. The other thing about this guy is that.....well, he likes me. A lot. And to me....he's a friend. He's one of those guy friends who will only ever be a friend. Almost like a gay best friend....except straight. So I honestly don't ever expect to ever have feelings for him.
And then I get to dances. And if it had just happened at this dance, I would just brush it off. But it has happened multiple time (can't give an exact number because I'm not that weird). At dances...he suddenly becomes....attractive. In a way. Like tonight. I actually got jealous when he danced with another girl. I was also seriously tempted to change the answer I gave him when he asked me out. But I think I'll wait on that.
I was worried about this until I talked to a mutual friend of outs. She put it best: this guy is the perfect rebound. Horrible, but accurate. He's a friend that you know will be willing to be more than a friend for you. And it's just so easy to take advantage of that! Poor guy.... He's gonna get his heart broken too many times.
I dunno....I'll give this a few days and if I'm still liking him, I'll tell him. But I'm thinking that it's just a dance thing. Something about him at dances....and his dorky dances and willingness to sit there and talk with you if you don't want to dance. It's...sweet. ....if only he was a better phone conversationalist....and he was actually someone I believed most of the time. Unfortunately, most of the time I'm rolling my mental eyes and thinking "yeah, sure."
Few reasons I don't want to date him:
1) Don't want a boyfriend right now
2) I'd only end up hurting him
3) Don't trust him enough
4) Not sure if I like him that way
5) I dunno. Someone fill in a fifth reason for me.
Oh, well. I will keep everyone updated on this.
Yay! I've got time to spare! Time to fix the typos!
Done with typos. 2 minutes. So I'm signing out!

There is something about dances. Especially if you know this guy likes you. You're thinking, "Hey, he likes ME, so why is he dancing with HER?!" Trust me. It's a dance thing. Ignore it while at a dance. Wait a few days and it'll be different. If you're going to date someone, you have to want to date them more than for just a couple hours a month, you know?
Oh, and FIRST!
On the whole blog!
(Well, this is the second, but I was totally first... and second.)
Ditto Erin. It's not that he's attractive, it's that we girls like having the attention. We may not like-like the person, but we are totally flattered when we know a guy's crazy about us. And for him to possibly be into someone else means we've lost that attention, and we're jealous of THAT.
At least, that's the situation I've been in a few times. Heck, I've even dated a couple guys because I was so flattered by the attention they gave me I mistakenly thought I liked them back.
