Okay...I just need to see this in print I think...to decide what I should do... I was sitting in class today and was joking with this guy...because that's what we always do...and I don't know him that well...when all of a sudden he says "we should go out sometime?" Completely floored me...I'm the girl people asked to their frat party as a joke or initiation...the "ugly" ones...ya know? So this guy has really lowered his standard or he was joking...Most likely I'm over-analyzing!...

Maybe he just likes yourr personality.Be yourself!!!

go for it. don't waste any chances.

when I was a freshman in college, this really, really, really cute, smart, interesting boy asked me out. I couldn't believe it. me? you want ME to come to your dorm room? I was ecstatic. I got my first boyfriend. but even after we had been going out a week or so, I still couldn't really believe that someone would be interested in me. so I asked him. this is for real, right? this isn't a joke, no one put you up to this, did they? what an awful thing to think. give the guy a chance, elvi.

Yesterday I had to buy my mother a birthday present, so I walked into town after my last class. The store is about 1.5 miles away and it was really hot, so let's just say I wasn't looking my best when I arrived. People don't usually flirt with me for whatever reason, probably because I used to be kind of mean. ("You think?") Anyway, the clerk in the store yesterday did flirt with me. Really really badly. He was so awkward it was hilarious. He actually had to stop talking to me for a few moments because he couldn't count change and talk at the same time. I had to tell him how much change to give me. And after that he *still* thought he was being smooth. It was so hard for me not to laugh...not really *at* him, but because it was kind of cute. Anyway, my point is, here I was thinking I was incredibly dishevelled and just looking really bad. Somebody else didn't think I looked that bad or else they would have tried to get me out of their sight as soon as possible, not spend 10 minutes telling me how I could use a scarf I bought while giving me the old eye, as Holden Caulfield would say. You know what I'm saying? People are really bad judges of their own looks because they're biased. Either in favor or against. You, Elvi, are probably quite attractive. At least this guy thinks so, and if you like him too, that's all that matters, isn't it?

I thank you all for your advice. Mostly I think I'll have to wait and see if he calls...or brings it up in class again. Should be interesting though...since I'm 22 and this would be my 3rd date, ever.
