Yup, I'm back in the saddle again. I'm coming back out of my shell. This is after finally getting past the fallout from the previous girl (we both talked to our graduate advisors because it had gotten THAT ugly and guess what? Turned out I hadn't really done anything wrong).
So I'm kinda/sorta starting to date this incredibly sweet girl who lives on the same property as me. We've been friends since summer. Since a lot of the residents at our property moved out over winter break (they were mostly exchange students who only signed on for one semester) the remaining residents have gotten closer. A long time ago, when I told her I wouldn't want to date The Psycho ever again, she could barely suppress a grin. She agreed to be my date to a Valentine's Day party because she knew The Psycho was gonna be there with her own date. It went swimmingly; she immediately hit it off with several of my chick friends and it was the only Valentine's Day I'd actually enjoyed. And damn she can look good when she tries to. Seriously, it was like that moment in those 80s teen flicks when the plain-looking girl who is now hot as hell walks into the room. She was all smiles the next day and we just went hiking up Diamond Head with a group earlier today. We've basically been doing a lot more stuff together.
But here's a bit of a problem. I'm leaving Hawaii after this semester. I've been accepted in Texas A&M and will be transferring for Fall 2010. She knows that. I just want to keep things casual and low-key. On the other hand, I owe her SOMETHING for what she did on Valentine's Day. Any suggestions?
Wow, it's so nice asking for girl advice that doesn't involve damage control.
