I am above the LAW!!!
The rise, and subsequent fall of my interest in a girl
Published on February 1, 2004 By Tim-MaY In Blogging
There was this girl from Denver that I really got to know lately. She’s really nice, and funny… one of those girls who makes you feel good to know.

Two weeks ago we went for a walk together in the rain. We walked for about an hour and a half, and had a great time. She told me all about her past, and where she’s from. The coolest thing about it was that we just walked together because there was nothing better to do at the time, not because we wanted to… (what’s the word I’m looking for?) go on a date(?).

A week goes by and I’m gaining interest in her. I find myself thinking about her, and wanting to sit with her during the classes that I have with her. She’s really fun to be with.

Last weekend she leaves for two days to go home with one of her friends from Arkansas. I was totally bored without her. We hook up on Sunday afternoon, and we talk forever. I tell her that I think I have a crush on her, and she says that the feeling is mutual… That’s it. That’s as deep as the DTR (define the relationship) goes. That’s okay for now. I have all the time in the world to be with OR without her.

The saddest part about this whole story is that here at this college it’s really hard to juggle your time with people (this includes prospective significant others). You might have some classes with them; You might be able to eat most meals with them; you probably get to spend most evenings with them; and when it comes down to weekends, you have (up to) THREE whole days to hang out with them.

She was going to go to St. Louis this weekend with a different friend, BUT we got to know each other better earlier this week, so she decided to cancel those plans so that we could hang out together.

The week goes by, and I’m spending ALL this time with her. It’s good, but it’s A LOT of time! By the time the weekend comes (Friday night) I don’t really want to be with her… But she canceled her plans for me… weak, seriously, weak. We spend most of the day yesterday annoying each other. Then we went to church together this morning, and that was another bad idea…

So that’s about the extent of it. We can barely stand each other now. Pretty funny story hunh?

Why don't you take a trip somewhere with a friend, then when you get back you'll most likely want to spend some more time with her! Just a thought...

Also, why not set some "ground rules"? Tell her that you want time to yourself? I dunno... Have fun!

Thanks for the helpful insight H.
I am leaving Next Sunday night to go with some people to a youth ministry opportunity, so I should be able to get away from her. Also... I was going to talk to her about the awkwardness of the whole thing soon. I really don't want to ruin things between us.

Agian, thanks!
