Crush: Confirmed
This past Friday: I (passive-aggressively) e-mailed my crush to see if he wanted to get together on Saturday to go see a movie. Fifteen minutes later, I got an e-mail from him accepting my proposal and letting me know that he will call me so that we could figure out what we were going to do. He called later that day, but I didn't answer because I was too nervous; so I let my VM handle the call. He left a funny, cute message that made me smile so I begrudgingly returned his call. We agreed on a dinner and a movie...at the same time. There is a place called Studio Movie Grill and it is a movie theatre that serves food. I have been there once before to that movie with Jennifer Connolly, I can't remember the name and it's worth looking up. We solidified our plans and ended our conversation.
Saturday: After spending the afternoon with his family he gave me a call just to confirm our plans. I was set to met him at his place at 7pm so I printed off my directions from Google Maps and I was out of the door. Of course, I got lost -- even with directions. I ended up passing is apartment by 2 blocks so I had to turn back. His apartment complex is a major labyrinth and it took me a couple of minutes to find his place. I only found his apartment because I saw his car parked in the lot. I found his door, rang his bell, did some last minute primping, and waited anxiously until it opened. I was standing at the door for about 2 minutes before I called him on his cell to let him know that I arrived. He finally came to the door and I heard the music blasting in the background, I figured out why he hear me ring the bell. We said hello to one another, I reached in for a handshake and he went for a hug. It was awkward. I wasn't really expecting a hug because I wasn't sure whether or not this was an actual date ... so maybe it was.
Awkwardness aside, he gave me a tour of his apartment and from the outside I wasn't expecting much, but the inside was really nice. We had a half hour to kill before the movie started so engaged in some small talk before it time to go. We wanted to see "The 40 year-old Virgin" but it was sold out, so we had to see "Red Eye" instead. "Red Eye" was surprising good, and not what I expected at all. The park of the movie was seeing Colby Donaldson from Survivor: Australia as a Secret Service agent.
We head back to his place so we can watch the last 30 minutes of the Pilot Pen Men's Semi-finals. He got up to turn on the TV and at that point I noticed his DVD collection. From about 10 feet away I spotted his "Strangers With Candy" DVDs and I was in shock that someone, other than myself, watched this show and liked it enough to buy the DVDs. I got up to look more closely and I notice that he also had Cartoon Network Adult Swim's "Sealab 2021." The crush I had on him immediately doubled. We ended up talking about our favorite episodes from both series and laughing as we recalled the dialogue. He showed me his other VHS/DVDs: Absolutely Fabulous and Mystery Science Theater 3K: The Movie -- which I have in my collection, as well. I am just loving the weird coincidence that we love the same shows because the almost never happens. I also mentioned that I like Bjork, and so does he -- in fact, he has: all her album including some imports and early works, VHS tapes of her videos and concerts, and saw her live. Now I am just freaked out about all of the similarities ... but in a good way. So we talked, watched this old UK comedy series from the BBC which contained a majority of cast members from AbFab, and just had a good time.
You know what I like? I like when you are on a date, and while seated next to them you have the touching of the person knees. You wonder if they will move it but you hope that they don't. I always take that as a good sign. Soon after, he grab my hand. Jokingly (and nervously) I said, "Excuse me. What are you doing?" He recoiled and I told him that I was kidding and grabbed his hand. "Is this fine?", he asked. "Yeah!", I replied. So we both sat kind of speechless before we noticed the time. I was about 1:30am, and we both had tennis matches scheduled for the next morning. We said our goodbye, and he gave me a hug along with a kiss on the cheek -- which was unexpected, but nice -- and I happily drove back to my place.
Sunday: I was finally getting my membership at 24 Hour Fitness so I can get myself somewhat in shape of my tennis tournament, when the crush called me. We spoke briefly because I was waiting for a sales rep., but I told him a called him back later. Three hours later, after I got back home from the gym, grocery shopping and falling asleep during tennis; I gave him a call. He was getting ready for his trip to NYC and I was attempting to do laundry. We spoke on the phone briefly before we went back to our tasks. I was feeling kind of eager to see him again, because it would be a week before he is back in Dallas. I wanted to call him again to see if he wanted some company, but I couldn't. I made a deal to myself; if the washers were taken in the laundry room I will give him a call. So I picked up my basket and heading for the laundry. Both washers were being used and I laughed knowing that I had to follow through on the deal. I picked up my phone and stared at his name for a couple of minutes. Ten minutes later, I finally worked up enough courage to give him a call.
Me: "Hey! How busy are you?" [in sullen tone]
Him: "Not that busy ... why? What's wrong?" [in a concerned tone]
Me: "Nothing is wrong. I was just wondering if you wanted some company?" [optimistically]
Him: "Oh!...Sure!" [seeming pleased and somewhat relieved]
... 20 minutes later I was at his door. He invited me in and we spared each other the possible awkward hug. We ended up watching "Freaky Friday," which wasn't that bad, and just chilled. After the movie, I decided it was best to leave so that he could finish packing. We ended up taking a detour into the kitchen where began to talk about "us". He mentioned a conversation that he had with one of his friends that he wasn't sure if he went on a date the previous night. I agreed that I was sure what was going on and referred to the awkward hug. And he agreed that it was indeed awkward. We admitted our mutual attraction for one another, also not know if the other person felt the same. Once all that was out of the way, we agreed to slowly transition into something beyond friends. With him being gone for a week it should help the transition process...so we will see how things will go when he return. I am jealous that he is at the US Open and seeing all of those great tennis players ... but I will have to get over it.
Can these two crazy Virgos -- his birthday 6 days before mine -- make things work? Only time will tell.
