I don't feel like the black sheep anymore. I'm finally getting to know the people in my accounting class, and establishing a few more friendships. I've also made connections with the students in the Chinese community, and met a number of other grad students. I'm living in a beautiful house with seven wonderful housemates, a lovely kitchen, and a super patio. I met the real sweet boy next door. I got honked at by a dude on a motorcycle as I was walking down the road to get to class (third time...it's a pattern). One of my best friends is back on campus so we've been hanging out a lot and catching up with our mutual friends. It's like I'm walking on cloud 9. It's so surreal to me.
So I think my love life can totally be turned into one of those annoying love triangle shows/movies. Either I have nothing going on at all or there's one super awesome guy...and then another one, or two, suddenly drop in the picture. Well, today, I was busy trying not to daydream about boy next door when my phone went off. Now, the last time I was with boy next door, I had asked him to walk me home cuz it was late and I thought our street was dark an scary (come on if I get honked at during the day...who knows what can happen at night). Anyway, we had an awkward parting so I thought he was weirded out. But I got a text later from him saying he wanted to ask if I wanted to hang out, but I looked tired so he didn't. And then I didn't hear from him again. So....I had been pining to hear from him again, when my phone went off. Immediately, I snatched it....only to find that the person who had texted me was none other than my ex-crush. After a few back and forth messages, he gave me a new pet name and said to stay in touch. I had a real bad crush on this guy after meeting him my freshman year. We talked sporadically here and there, and I knew he had a girl at one point in time. Then, before he graduated he spent a night at my place, being sweet to me and never trying to push my boundaries. I had very occasionally heard from him again after that...he had intentions of meeting up again, but we were both moving and timing never worked out. Of course...like any typical love triangle story....mr. harder-to-get is the one I'm more attracted too, while mr. sweet-nice-guy is chasing me. So one's in divinity school (boy-next-door) and the other's headed for law school (ex-crush). Mr. divinity-school is slightly older, I think, and he's worked before but decided to come back for school. Mr. law-school-candidate is only two years my senior...and oh so far away. :( And so feeling less monogamous, I text guy-next-door and he took the opportunity to ask me out. Guess he was waiting on a response from me the whole time.
Both are kinda similar looking and both are mature enough...Boy-next -door is kinda like an ex-douche-turned-good. He's more sweet and really respectful. Ex-crush is like former-party-frat-boy-gone-good-and-grown-up. He's a lot more playful (which I like), but still respectful of me.
If your life were like a corny comedy romance with annoying love triangles...who would you choose?
Oh Dilemma.
