Then Again, Maybe Not

Just Say No. - D.A.R.E.

Things with Chad have gotten better. He came in on Wednesday and I said hi, and he said hi back. He didnt say much but I knew he wasnt mad at me anymore (because I had text him a bit and found out that he really wasnt all that annoyed in the first place ... just confused). There were also a lot of people in the room and he and I never talk much when that is the case. I kept trying to catch his eye so I could see if he was really okay with me. He came and stapled his paper at my desk - stupid thing to note, I know, but I am the only one with a mechanical stapler and he usually comes to my desk and does it here. However, last time I saw him (on Monday) he went to an empty desk and used a stapler off of there. Anyway, he was wearing this orange cap that hid his hair and really wasn't all that flattering on him. His face was all flushed and I thought that maybe he was getting sunburned. He didn't make eye contact with me. Just once or twice a glance, and then away. When he left, not two minutes later, I got a text from him saying, "You look beautiful!" Just like that - randomly. And then I realized he wasn't getting sunburned he was blushing. Which I thought was really cute. Anyway, that got us talking. It also got him to renew his offer for us to make out. It's almost worse this time, though, because I already told him no and he got over it. So now he is determined to be patient. He told me so. So, here's this flattering, good-looking, sweet guy that is all wrong for me, who is determined to wait me out ... Now I wonder how my determination will compare to his, when i wasn't really all that determined in the first place ... just shy.
