I was in a really awkward situation last night with this guy I’m really good friends with. He had texted me yesterday morning and told me that he wanted to spend the day with me if that was okay. I thought to myself “Yeah, sure. Nothing wrong with that.” So we ended up going to the movies last night, just the two of us. But he picked me up like an hour early and we headed over to the movie theatre. I go “You know we’re an hour early, right? What are we going to do for an hour?”. He responds by saying “Oh I just figured we could chill for a little while before the movie started.” I’ve known this guy was interested in me for a while now. He’s always hugging me and calling me beautiful. He even gave me a sweatshirt of his and told me it was “so I could have a little piece of him.” I’m pretty much the queen of unwarranted affection.

All of a sudden I get kind of nervous, thinking “Oh god, he’s going to try to make a move on me.” Then I started to wonder why I was worried. He was a good friend, he’s attractive, he’s funny and we’re just seeing a movie. So why was I worried? I think it’s because I hadn’t been in a situation like that in a long time. Where somebody actually wanted to spend time with me because they liked me as a person. Usually when guys ask me to “chill”, they make a move for my pants or theirs. I trusted him enough to pick me up and take me to the movies, so why was I worried he was going to do something unwanted?

Whenever I’m in situations like this, I tend to do this thing where I start rambling about any and every thing that comes to mind so that I can prevent anything weird from happening. And as it turns out, he could probably tell that I was silently spazzing, so he kept cool and we literally just chilled (not “chilled”). Listened to music, talked for a while, just shared thoughts until it was time to go in. And it was nice. I’m glad I went. It pays to have good friends, I guess.

The movie sucked though lol.
