Okay, so I asked him last night, after I mustered up some courage and he said "that would be cool" and we started making plans. Nothing concrete yet, as he has to talk to his hiking buddies he usually goes on hikes with on weekends and such. He then ended our convo with a "we'll figure something out" and a smiley emoticon.

I was practically dancing on air the whole convo. Since we were texting, we haven't heard each other's voices yet, but he and I seem to have a ton in common. I have a good feeling about this. After all, a guy who plays Pokémon and Zelda can't be all bad, can he?
