Monthly update?
It’s been almost a month.
Almost eighty degrees and it’s not even noon. Winter, right into summer. Always. No transition.
This past Saturday, I was invited to a bonfire where adorable boy was. And while he was sitting next to me and talking to the other people around us, I realized I don’t know him at all. Well, sure. I know the professional trainer. who greets everyone everyday and smiles and doesn’t flirt with anyone. But, not this version. He was so awkward, with his sweatshirt and sweatpants and his hat turned around backwards. He was also shy and it took him awhile to start talking.
But, he mostly just flirted with my really outgoing friend. Who, coincidentally, also has a boyfriend. Oh well.
He does remember things about me. And he did hug me goodbye. Which I am still obsessing over, along with his usual greeting of “Uh oh.”
Along with that, the brother of one of the trainers has taken to texting me. Oh boy. He’s cute and he looks like Harry Potter. But he’s into certain activities that I try to avoid. I’m smart enough to recognize a potential issue if I were to ever become involved romantically or otherwise with someone whose interests are different than mine. I may not be that old, but I’ve had enough experience with people to know what works and what does not.
It could also be that I am still hopelessly crushing on adorable boy and until I can put that behind me, I shouldn’t try to pursue anyone else.
It’s going to be a long summer. I can feel it.
There is a mailbox,
Sitting on the left street side.
Empty and waiting.
