I'm sorry you found out you're just in the friend category with your crush. Are you terribly disappointed? I hope not. Who knows what's down the road. It's a world full of possibilities. It's cool that you're practicing flirting. That's a skill... and you need to keep yourself sharp. ;-)

My birthday evening went very well. Dinner was lovely. The guy I like was wonderful as usual. There was a lovely moment during dinner where my new perfume became a subject of conversation and he leaned in to smell... kinda hotttt! LOL. He drove me home at the end of the evening. I don't remember how we got on the subject, but I ended up telling him about my struggle with agoraphobia. He was very surprised by that because he said I seem SO confident and outgoing... and he doesn't feel that way himself. It seemed to make him more comfortable with me and he opened up about some personal stuff. So, that was good. We're going to see a movie soon. (I must really like him because I haven't seen a movie in a theatre since before I got sick -- in 2000 -- but I'm looking forward to it, rather than feeling phobic.) I don't know if it will be this week because I have the flu (it hit Monday morning and I had to spend 12 hours at a photoshoot because there was no one to fill in for me... ugh). I stayed home today and we e-mailed back and forth all afternoon. So far so good. Thanks for asking. I'll keep you posted. I tend to overthink things so I'm still wondering if he's interested in me in THAT way, but the friends who were out for dinner with us told me it's obvious that he really likes me. I hope they're right. Time will tell.
