Okay. I'm an idiot when it comes to boys.No, I mean, seriously, I am.Once I get beyond flashing my tits, I'm just lost. No idea what I'm doing. None. I need advice. =(Maybe you remember my post about Matthew. Quick recap, he's my parent's friend's son, my big brother's friend from high school, and the "perfect" guy for me.So. Before anyone told me this, I had a massive crush on him. Still do. He's a great guy. Anyhow. We hung out at my brother's wedding in September, had a lot of fun, danced, talked, exchanged numbers, made plans to meet up at my school's homecoming in October. He never showed, I called the next day and left a message to let him know I had looked for him, and that I had a shower favor for his mother. He called me back minutes later, kept me on the phone for half an hour, yakked my ear off about how great it was hanging out with me, how we need to hang out, we should definitely get together, he's SO sorry he didn't go to homecoming, but he was very sick, and his schedule is crazy full right now, between working, grad school and seminars, but he'll call after Thanksgiving and we'll hook up. Definitely. He had such a great time!Never heard from him. A few days after Christmas, his mom called my mom, spent an hour on the phone telling her about Matthew, how he needs to get out more, and has trouble taking the initiative. My mom and his mom.. they run in the same social circles and they're acquaintances, but not really friends. Our dads are close. But he needs to get out more, won't ever make the first call, sometimes needs a kick in the butt to get moving. An hour on the phone.. the longest they've EVER been on the phone with each other.As luck would have it, I ran into him last night after the bar, at the diner. I didn't see him, he saw me as I was leaving and came over, big kisses and hugs hello, abandoned his friends to stand around and talk for 15 minutes or so, went back to his table and got his coat to walk me to my car(his idea), spent more time talking outside, completely stressing that we should definitely hang out and get together, I'm SO cool, my friends are SO much fun, it would be SO great to hang out, and again, how busy his schedule is. Another big hug and a kiss and that was pretty much it. His vibe was very friendly and happy to see me, he greeted me like we were lifelong friends who haven't seen each other in ages, like "wow! It's great seeing you". Also, asked what bars I go to, where they were, and did one of those "I'm making a point of repeating where they are and looking studious so I can remember them" faces, (my friend almost asked if he wanted a pen, that's how acutely he seemed to be concentrating) stressing how often he's in Bay Ridge as well, and reiterating my point of how we live so close we're practically neighbors. So what the hell is going on? Is he as completely inept as I am when it comes to the opposite sex, is he just being uber-polite in brushing me off, or what the hell?... Grrr.Man.. trying to date respectable guys is HARD. he looks a lot like this.. how hot? LOL
