Happy belated Thanksgiving!
Phew, life's been busy. I'm not sure where I should start.
I just started dating Classic Red officially, and then today I find out the girl I had a crush on for like two months turns out to be my next-door neighbor. If there's any celestial superpower, it must not want me dating French Linguist, or really wants me dating Red. As it is, I'll pretend like I have some modicum of choice in the workings of my life.
Anyway, to catch you up, Red and I sent frequent emails to one another during her stay at home. She came back Friday, and Friday night I informed her of the crush I had on her. She said that she might have one too, or something like that. We finished off the night by arranging a date the next day, to go on a picnic.
Saturday: It was getting cold (autumnishly cold), so I made us grilled cheese sandwiches and this organic pepper and tomato soup that comes in a carton and is amazing. The soup went into a thermos, and the sandwiches went into a Tupperware container with some apples and carrots. That evening I told her I'd like to hold her hand or maybe hold her around the waist. She didn't know how she felt about hand holding. She'd never tried it. In an awkward demonstration of her kindness she said that I could choose one (hand or waist). This bland offer of 'action' was just too odd, and we decided we'd wait until she was more sure of how she felt.
Sunday: I slept through church, which I'm sure made a great impression. Anyway, she got back from this or that (laundry?), and so we went to my place to watch 'My Man Godfrey' via http://www.archive.org. The battery started running low on the laptop, so we went downstairs to plug it in. At some point she suggested we would be more comfortable on the couch. I positioned the laptop on my thighs/knees, and tried to sit comfortably. After some number of minutes, she put her head on my shoulder, and some time after that she grabbed my hand. I was ecstatic and confused. We finished the movie, watched Flight of the Conchords and 'Making Fiends' for a while, and then just cuddled. Neither of us knows what changed her mind.
Monday: We kissed. With the help of my contagious cold, we've been trying to build a friendship, and not base our feelings on physicality. Wish us luck.
