Long, Long Ago
My friend sent me an email today. She was going through her old email folders, and found one that I sent to her on the 3rd of March, 2003. (My now-fiance will be referred to as 'T').Hee hee hee, I have so very much to tell you, I think I'll just skip straight to the 'love life' bit. Well, it's still non-existent, but... I don't know. Could possibly be progressing... maybe. I don't know. But anyway, I'll start from the beginning. I've liked T from my church from about the beginning of February. He's in our group and everything, so that's cool. Well, Nathan, Grant & I went to the flower shop just before Valentines day, looking for a present for Grant's girlfriend. Nathan & I saw these cute bears, they had patches on them, and they were holding hearts. Awww! But yeah, I decided to get one for T, and Nathan got one for the girl he likes. We put them in gift bags and put a Chupa Chup in there, too. We wrote out gift cards that said 'Dear T, Thinking of you... Love always...' It was so funny, on the morning of Valentines Day, I picked up Nathan at 6:00 and we drove to his crush's house & stuck it into the letter box. Then we drove to T's house and Nathan sneaked up to the door and hung it on the handle. It was really nerve-racking, but funny.
Then that night I had a get-together at my house, and T came. He was eating the Chupa Chup when he walked in the door! My sister called me over to our room, and we both burst out laughing. :o) But yeah, that was cool. Then the next night, after Youth Group, we all went to the lookout (which is just up the road from T's house... and I know, it's usually for druggies and stuff, but we just go up there to talk) and I was interrogating T about who he thinks it was that gave him the Valentine, etc. He wouldn't say anything, but he said he had a good idea. To cut a long story short, he ended up finding out, because I told Lexi that she could tell Shane to tell T (Lexi, who was in the car with me on the way home, was on the phone to Shane, who was at T's house). Well anyway, since then we have been becoming really good friends, and he rang me last Monday night. We were talking about the Valentine, and...
T - "So, why did you send me a Valentine?"
A - "The same reason anyone sends someone a Valentine."
T - "Because you like me...?"
A - "Yeah."
T - "So what happens now?"
A - "I don't know."
T - "I guess the ball's in my court, then?"
A - "Yeah, I guess so"
But yeah, he brought it up again after that, and he said that he likes me heaps as a person, but romantically not that much. He really wants to get to know me as a friend, though, and if something happens from there, that'd be cool, but if not, that's OK too. I asked what he meant by 'romantically not that much', like if he means 'not at all', and he said that he does a bit, but probably not to the extent that I like him, and that he's confused at the moment. We were talking for three hours on the phone, it rocked.
Then on Tuesday night we had School of the Bible together, then I saw him on Wednesday night for Home Group and we talked on the phone for an hour after that, then on Thursday night I was working late and we talked on the phone for about 45 minutes and then we all went to the movies that night, then on Friday night T and I, along with two friends went to Cyber Games and then to the Coffee Club (then T and I talked for ages in his car after that), then on Saturday I saw him at Youth (and afterwards at Hungry Jacks), and on Sunday we had church, then the guys came back to my house to play cards, then we had church again, and then talked at a cafe near our church, and then when I got home we were talking on the phone for almost an hour, too. It's been so fantastic, I've got to know him HEAPS, he's so very awesome.
Last night at the cafe, we were at different tables, and I messaged him telling him to come over to our table. He rang me (because it was free time, since we're both with Optus), telling me to come over there. Brendan (our Home Group leader), goes to T "Man, you're desperate!" Meaning it in the non-against-Alyssa way, of course (he explained), like that he's desperate for me, not that he's desperate for ringing me or anything. Yeah. And then Rebekah was interrogating him, asking if he likes me, etc. He referred them to Dale, and Dale was going "They're just friends!", but T said Dale had a huge smile on his face, so that didn't really help him out very much. :o) It was funny!
Then after that I was talking to him on the phone, and he was in the car with Ian. He was being mean to Ian (in jest, of course!) and Ian said "Ok, get out of my car!!!" then T said "No, I'm sorry", and Ian said that he'll only forgive him if he asked me out. So T goes "Alyssa, will you go to the movies with me sometime?" I said OK, and Ian goes "That's not good enough, you have to set a date!" and he suggested my birthday (which is in 27 days!!!), or the day before or something. He didn't end up setting a date, but T said afterwards that we really should go to the movies sometime. :o) And he's been saying that we should go clothes shopping one day, and go to an AFL game, and go to the movies together, etc...
He even proposed to me! Ian put a welcome message on T's phone saying 'Propose to Alyssa today!' T told me about it on the phone, and I go "So are you going to do it or not?!" :o) And he goes "Alyssa, will you marry me?" I said "Oh, OK then!" We've been kinda joking about it since then, like he's been saying that I have to get a really good job so that I can support the family while he sits around all day doing nothing (well, he said he'd be praying and reading the Bible, trying to make it sound holy and all!), and when we were talking about our favourite cars, he said his is a Subaru or something, and I said mine's a Toyota. T said that he wants to get 4 Subarus, same model, just different colours, and he said "You could drive one of the Subarus, or we can just get a few Toyotas as well..." notice the 'we'? Very interesting indeed. But yeah, I believe him when he says he doesn't like me that much romantically, but I'm positive he considers me a prospect (and possibly a very good prospect). And I'm sure that we'll become better and better friends, and he'll probably begin to think of me romantically. In my heart, I'm almost certain that something will happen someday... but that could just be my feelings getting the better of me.
Either way, I'm not going to try and start anything. I want to be friends first, too. I made a list of things a guy would have to do before I'll begin a relationship with him, and one of them is 'known me as a friend for more than 6 months'... wow, only 5 months to go. :oP :o) But he's seriously the most awesome guy. :o) I really like him. Yay!!!
Wow, I think that's all in that area! Goodness gracious, when it comes to T, I sure can blab on!!!
It's amazing how much has happened in just over a year! :o) Wow.
