A couple of posts ago (like 3 weeks ago) I dished on a crush I had on a boy I had just met. I wrote that I didn't think he knew I existed. Then some time later I wrote about how he wanted to meet up soon. After that I wrote how he breaks my heart. This weekend he sent me a message on facebook asking if I wanted to meet up, ecstatically I said yes!
On Friday when we were supposed to meet, he send me another message saying he was sorry but that they (he and many other British military guys) were now on curfew and he couldn't go out, but said we could meet the next night. I was only slightly disappointed since there was the promise of the following day, and I went out with my friend where I met my complement and a creeper*
Well the next morning (Saturday) he sent me another message saying he could meet that night. I asked him when and where and soon after everything was settled. Well about an hour before we were to meet he sends me another message saying that he was sorry to do this again, but he couldn't go out, and that he was leaving Tuesday and probably wouldn't be able to go out again. To say I was devastated would be an understatement.
I didn't let this end my night, and my friend and I decided to go to dinner before we went out. Well when we get to the bar and walk back to our favorite bartender guess who we see? Yup, my British crush! This of course made me uneasy and I can't even begin to describe the range of emotions I felt. But in any case after some encouragement from Angie▪ I walked up to the guy and started talking to him. He apologized about not messaging me again, and said he had been dragged out by a friend. Now he seems like a very honest guy and I, who majored in human behavior, like to think I can read people pretty well. I did believe him.
This is a guy who plays by the rules. It was obvious he is very responsible and not much of a risk taker. Since they were on curfew and had to be back on base by 1, he kept looking at his watch, to make sure they weren't going to be late. We talked about everything and nothing at all. I remember looking at his watch at 11:30 and then the next thing I know it's 12:15, I swear it was like a blink of the eye. His rebellious friend decided to stay but could only do so if my crush would sign him back in. Before he left he asked if I would walk outside with him. I did.
We talked outside by his car for a little bit. He said it is possible for him to get sent back here in the future, and that if I'm ever in England to look him up. As the time drew near for him to leave, I gave him a hug, and he kissed me goodbye.

▪ Angie is a 30 something year old woman, my friend and I once saved from an uncomfortable situation a couple of months ago. We hadn't see her in awhile, but we saw her again Friday (and Saturday) where to our surprise she remembered us and offered to introduce us to the guys she was with.
