Today, I was having the worst day. I had my period, one of my guy
friends was acting like a jerk, I had too much going on, and I
had to go to work on top of it.
At work (this tutoring place for kids) I saw this boy, about my
age. And there I went. Crushing. Hard. He was sitting with his
friend, and I went over to help someone, when he asked me for
some advice for his friend on dating.
We started talking,
And he told me how he was scared to be in a relationship.
He told me he thought he was going to be alone forever.
He told me one time there was a girl he really liked, and all the
guys were hugging her, but he shook her hand instead.
At the end, I was tying up all the garbage, and he came to the
back and thanked me. And we talked more.
I told him how I was just like him, afraid to be in a
relationship because all guys are jerks.
He insisted on helping me. He took recycling bin and threw it out
and wouldn't let me take it.
The whole time, I kept thinking how amazing his smile was. And
how I hadn't felt butterflies like that in a long time.
At the end, he told me to not think all guys are jerks.
And guess what? I told him how nice it was to meet him, and I
went in for a hug, and he shook my hand instead.
That's embarrassing I know, but I thought it was so cute. There
ARE still guys like that out there :)
I smiled the whole way home.
I haven't smiled like that because of a boy in a long time.
