I have an excuse to see him in that he cuts my crazy curly hair every 8 weeks. But I pay him, so I feel that this relationship is currently all in his favor (since I also bought his album--and it's digital so he can't autograph it).

Well, he hugs me every time I have an appointment so I've got the touching part down (but I think he does that with everyone...though I didn't see him do it with the girl who was there after me last time. I wasn't paying attention, tbh). I am the picture of friendly, smiling, and chatty when I'm sitting in that chair, let me tell ya. It occurred to me that I may be TOO much so. I don't want to irritate the ***** out of him while he's trying to work. I felt that way at first, but this last time, especially after I asked him about being a musician (SO GLAD my friend mentioned she'd heard of him, because I had no clue he was kind of known around town), we kind of hit more of a stride and had more of a rapport. Come to find out we loved the same bands in high school, come to find out we have similar past religious backgrounds, and on and on. I don't think we're totally each other's "type" but there is chemistry there, for sure. At least as far as easy, fun conversation goes.

I don't really think he asked me out, per se. I feel like I showed interest in his music, of course he's going to invite me to his release party happening in 2 days. I did like that he gave me all of those links when I said I couldn't go...but again, I see it as an artist promoting his art, not a guy interested in me as an individual person. Maybe I'm pushing away the possibility, but I'm prone to reading into things and I just don't want to, here. I don't want to be disappointed. Part of me doesn't want to lose a good stylist by embarrassing myself and stepping over boundaries (hey, they're hard to come by when you have crazy curly hair!) And part of me just doesn't want to be rejected.
