Snooze...

No, that's not how I feel about the new guy...that was the name of the breakfast restaurant we went to Sunday morning. We decided to scruff out a bit (although you know I still took a shower, did my makeup, and straightened my hair...but I acted like that was the way I normally looked when I roll out of bed). He noticed and thought I looked cute so early in the morning. :)

I'm not sure what to say about him or the date (and frankly, we went out last Thursday night as well and I'm still feeling the same way).  It's not that I don't like him because I really do.  I like being around him...there's something I am drawn to in him.  I think we're both attracted to each other and enjoy that we have so much in common (and not just piddly crap, but actual fundamental beliefs).  But, I feel like there is an awkwardness that we either can't figure out or get around.  I realize we've only been out a few times, and maybe that's just it, in which case I'm not going to throw in the towel just yet.  But, I wish I knew how to "fix" it.  One of my teammates suggested that we're both into each other, but may be afraid to mess anything up, which actually makes a lot of sense to me.  It seems like we're both acting that way.  She also said it's probably time that we either hang out with his friends or mine, which also seems like a good idea so that we can truly see how each other is with our friends.

I've also got to give him a break considering we probably shouldn't have even gotten together yesterday.  He's been having back issues and really wasn't feeling well, but wanted to go have breakfast together.  Doesn't that sound like he's into me?  I mean, would he REALLY go to that trouble?  I did tell him though that he should have cancelled on me.  He said he didn't want me to get the wrong idea.  He's really freakin' cute.  And when he pulled off his sweatshirt because it turned out to be warmer than he anticipated, revealing his stomach and chest as his undershirt went flying up as well, I wanted to peel all of his clothes off and forget about getting breakfast.  I refrained.

He wants to grab happy hour sushi at his favorite restaurant near his house this week.  So we'll see how that goes...

For now, enjoy this deliciously warm picture of fall in Colorado...
