I was avoiding it.
Groupies, it was really, really fun. He picked me up and we went this tiny little Chilean restaurant, where I charmed the pants off the couple who owns it with my charming Spanish. It's true! I used to be fluent, you know, and while I'm not great, I'm pretty much amazing next to the average Asian/gringa-ish (to the core) person you meet on the street. They loved me. :-)
Then we drove the 45 minutes or so to the rodeo. Talked the whole time. His family was really nice and sweet to me. Asked him if he was wearing cologne (because although he smelled good, it was different). Turns out his roomie sprayed it on him.
Roommate: "Dude, are you leaving?"
YSB: "Ye--" *squirt in the face*
His delicious scent is yet a mystery.

We joked through the whole thing, and then we saw the little carnival next door which had a ride that neither of us had been on since we were like 14 years old. So after we got tired of the rodeo, we excused ourselves, and he bought us tickets and we rode the Zipper. It seemed really slow and lame at first, but then it got crazy and we got flipped and spun like ten times in a row without stopping. We were laughing so hard our stomachs hurt, and when we got off, our tummies were still hurting, but that was because we both felt sick and dizzy.
Despite the occasion interjection of "Ow. I still feel sick!", we kept laughing and talking the 45 minutes or so back to my house. Hugged me on the doorstep, told me to call him if I was up in Logan (and I had told him earlier that I was spending the weekend up there anyway), and that was that. We texted a TINY bit the next couple of days (mostly he let the convos die), and I actually ran into him with his roommate while on a walk with my roomie (he lives much closer to my house this fall than I thought he did), but he was kinda aloof-ish, so I felt kinda silly and we just excused ourselves, because it didn't look like he'd do the polite thing and invite us in.
Anyway, I thought Friday night went extremely well.... but it doesn't look like it will go beyond that. If he had any interest in me to begin with, I think it has died. Oh well (story of my life). I had a ton of fun anyway! One of the better dates (of the very few) I've been on. Props to YSB for that! :-)

I think we need some male opinions on this...
how could he not be interested you rock
I know you are an intelligent girl Chess, but do you think he might just be nervous, thus stupid?
Or do you get nervous and put off the wrong vibe?
I just can't imagine a boy going on a date with you and not want a second.
Also, would it be nuts to just ask, "Hey what happened?"
IDK. Just my thoughts...
If you're right, you're right and his loss!
I don't think my boy-dog opinion counts, seeing how I have an imaginary girlfriend. :P
But I'm glad you had fun!
oh, I do hope at least one more date is in the works of his little brain!!
And I hope you DO come down to AZ with Marie!!! We would have the grandest time!
I'll say a little prayer for ya. :)
Awww! I'm so glad you had fun, Chess :)
(And I can totally sympathize with YSB getting sprayed with cologne...when I was going out for a sort of date with Willoughby, and one with Odysseus, the ever-helpful Roomie sprayed me in the face with her strawberry perfume. It mostly got in my mouth, seeing as I was turning around to talk to her :P)
His loss indeed, you gorgeous thing, you! Not that I'm shallow (although, My Love is the most beautiful woman in the world), but you're positively lovely, right to the core.
*Drools over FB pics*
*Slap*
Behave, Evan!
Glad you had fun, though :)
Yes, indeed behave, Evan!
Sorry for his silly behaviour, Chess :)
Wait, why am I apologising on his behalf? lol
Sounds like it was a fun date... and maybe he just panicked, seeing you out of context and clammed up... I'm sure another date could happen, just wait and let whatever happens, happen :).
Boys are so complicated. Glad you had fun though, Chess! Sounds like a blast!
w00T, fabulous that you guys finally got together, and even better that good times were had by all. Even if that's it, at least you went down that road and won't be left wondering what might have been. ;) GO, Chess!
I'm glad you had an absolute blast! And he may be weird because he's not used to seeing you out of context with his roommate around? I dunno, maybe give him a break and see how much he misses you! And if he decides to just let things go, well, as we've all agreed, it really is his loss. You're awesome and you deserve someone who completely understands and appreciates that :)
