So...

More developments with journalism guy. I went to his house
to watch movies with him and a bunch of his friends (mostly
other compsci people and their sisters/boyfriends), and
generally enjoyed myself, although I felt more than a
little awkward. I think I was appropriately conversational
but I'm not sure that I mesh that well with this group -
they only made me miss the conversation of my own friends.

Still, he liked me enough to secure a Date for Saturday
evening. I use the capital D because he wants to take me to
dinner. This is certainly a "real date", meaning he is
officially pursuing me for something more than friendship
and conversation (although that seemed to be apparent
almost from the start).

I went from being indifferent (but friendly) towards him to
liking him quite a bit. I felt giddy for hours after the
invitation, and if I were to measure the extent of my
attraction by the physiological things associated with it
(butterflies, etc), I would conclude that I have finally
met someone I like, who seems to also like me as well. Keep
in mind that this is really a first for me, as those things
have never (to my knowledge) coincided.

Blah, it seems like I am only writing about this guy these
days. That's because it's a little exciting for me. And it
seemed to happen at almost the very moment that I stopped
caring about finding someone to date. Perhaps it really
does work that way.
