She's Got to Be Somebody's Baby
Well. . .we had sort of already had the conversation. . .sort of. It was out there that neither of us was really dating or wanting to date anyone else. . .and I have to say, both of us were acting in sort of proprietary ways towards each other. (Hey, you'd act proprietary too if some 18-year-old in his class was following him around like a puppy, asking him to explain things to her, and wanting to have "study dates.") Well, I mean, as I said, I DON'T want to date anyone else. This guy treats me like gold and I'm completely falling for him. It's not just the flowers. . .it's a bunch of stuff that I haven't revealed on the blog. Everything he says, and everything he does that backs up what he says, leads me to believe that I am not letting this one get away, and I'd be a fool to do so.
So. . .in true 8th grade fashion, the question was posed last night: "So, you know, if I'm talking about you to someone. . .how should I refer to you? Is it going to be ok if I use the "G" word?" Pause. "Yeah, you can use the "G" word. Are you sure that's what YOU want?" "Um, let me think: YEAH." I went on to explain that the B word, since the last one, and until him, had been a four letter word. He replied, "Well, now it's a three letter word." (His name is three letters long.)
By the way, on May 9, on this blog, I said:
"I just have to continue to handle myself well, and NEVER EVER continue talking to a boy who is not making a legitimate effort to date me, really date me, call me up and ask me on dates. I am done with that. And 8 boys are better than one, which is why BOYFRIEND is not in my near future. The next man I call that will have to be one that I am head-over-heels for and can really see myself with for some time in the future. And more importantly, he will be head-over-heels for me. Cause that's what I want and deserve, and I'm willing to wait for it."
I would say I'm eating my words. . .but. . .I have EXACTLY what I said I would need to start using that hated monicker.
But the really important question: Non-Girlfriend, do you still like me?
