A guy likes ME! ME?!!?

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

I'm 21, almost 22. I've had one guy who liked me, but he was creepy/controlling. I've liked guys in the past, but it wasn't reciprocated (no big deal).

But a guy likes ME!! And he's pretty darn nice. Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....

Sshhhhhhhhhhh don't tell anyone. Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....

He works as a barista at a local coffee shop. He's (almost) 23, and I really think I could potentially like him a whole bunch (I already love his personality... and no, this isn't a crush... I've gotten to know him over the past year while he's been working there).

He called me cute and beautiful in one night! ... and then he blushed and said he'd never told a woman that before. (Awwwwwww Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....)

Okay... I'm totally acting like a kid here. But I can't help it. He's cute. I love his personality... he reminds me of a big teddy bear (also has to do with his looks too).

He's asked me to come see him more often... so I told him I'd try to go see him at least once a week during the summer... if it goes well this week, I'm totally asking for his email or phone number (too forward? Maybe... but I'll be darned if I'm not going to give this a chance!)

Yes, I'll be careful. I always am. No sex either... and no funny business, and if he meets my guy friends and they get a bad vibe (and they're good and I trust them to look out for me) ... then it's over...

but Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....

Is it bad that this totally made my night, and definetely gave my self-esteem a boost (which has been lacking lately... I'm not the prettiest girl out there...)???

I don't know if there is ANY feeling that quite matches the bubbling, rolling, and armorous lifting of the belly in those first few priceless moments of budding love...

It is amazing....period...

That giddy, tentative, wonder that fills us while we smile, blush and anticipate endlessly the next moment we can hear their voice,,be in their company or just think of them...

You are a beautifull soul Miss. Christina,,one who deserves these feelings and what they may bring...

Only the best,

Lenny

Isn't love great! Oh, the feeling is so good and it changes us instantly. Love is very powerful and can overcome anything.
Love conquers all.

It takes a long time for a guy to really fall in love, but when he does it is a sight to see. I have had them cry to me about their feeling of love for a girl. I have had them get sick from it. Oh, what a sight, sickening and pleasurable to witness. It's like they go over the edge of a cliff. Forever changed.

The key to it all is to keep the fire burning, even when it dies down to smoldering embers, then put some wood on the fire again.

I wish you happiness and great joy in the days ahead. enjoy this feeling and the moments that are to come.

Have a great day.

(((((((Lenny))))))))))))) Thank you! I believe you have a beautiful soul as well ... you wrote what I'm feeling so well. *grins*

((((((((Guy)))))))))))) Love is great! I like getting a man's perspective on this... I never have really understood the male gender. So thank you Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....

Thanks (((((((((BalishBun))))))))))))))

---------------------

So I went to see him tonight...

... hehe.

I asked him for his number and email, and he has mine.

I essentially know where he lives, but it isn't wheelchair accessible.

... omigosh. I think I really like him.

He called me pretty and beautiful and said I had beautiful (blue) eyes.

We only got to talk a bit since I came late since I still feel icky because of med side-effects. Oh well. I laugh, he's funny. So cute... the guy was looking at his hands for part of our convo because he was avoiding my eyes. Hehe. That's cute.

Sigh. I like him. A lot.

We've been texting since I got home (like 15min) and he already said I looked good tonight. Wow... the guy is going to make me blush, for real. He said that was his intention. Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....

He's a schmuck.

It figures. The only guys ever interested in me are horribly bad for me in one way or another (and it's not personality clashing either!)

I don't like him right now. In fact, I can say that he never liked me.

Stupid flirting... grrrrrr.

Lesson to be learnt here: I dont need a guy to make me happy. I wont ever get married or date. Because relationships are too complicated.

Right... might want to explain.

Well, first... I was the "other woman" and I didn't know. He was flirting with me and he HAD A GIRLFRIEND. Sigh. But then they broke up...

Last night... well, I find out that he flirts with EVERYONE. He even says that himself. I talk to one of his woman coworkers, and she tells me that ... well, essentially he's emotionally shallow and that any flirting from him is just how he does things, not that he's expressing true feelings.

So yeah. My heart isnt broken this time, but I totally give up on him in terms of a good relationship. I'm not even sure if I can be his friend if he does that to all the women in his life.

Needless to say, last night I wasn't happy. Right now, I'm calmed down a bit... I just need to give myself time away from where he works so I dont wind up seeing him and deciding to bite his head off for leading me on like that.

But I guess it is partily my fault since I was/am rather naive about relationships. I did learn something though... I dont need a guy to make me happy.

Thank you, that's sweet. I think I need to reevaluate what guys need to fulfill (criteria) before I even consider liking them. Sigh.

It's most likely that none of them is perfect...

I know. Forgive me for being a kid for a minute.... It's just kinda depressing... all the guys I like (or who express interest in me) ... are all creeps, or controlling. Sigh.

Oh well. Thanks pachyderm.

Well hon...it looks like the ones who are creeps and controlling all think that you are weak and able to be controlled. And that is soooooooo not the case Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....

I'm sorry he was a schmuck.....but ya know....we all go through that in our lifetime looking for a mate. I'm glad you don't have to have a man in your life to make you happy or define you. I think you are the the tops just the way you are. The man in your life should compliment who you are.....and you deserve to be treated with much love and respect.....don't ever forget that Forgive me for being a kid for a minute....
