I don't know what it is, but somehow, I manage to attract boys around 19 or 20 who are getting ready to go on missions. I promise I don't try, but somehow they find me.
Here's the latest story.
There is a very nice boy in the ward, we'll call him Mr. T, for no specific reason than he needs a name. Anyway, last Sunday (a week ago) he gave a talk in church, and he is going to go into the MTC on Feb 4. Now on Friday, I went to the afternoon institute class. We were all hanging around after the lesson and after eating and as I was getting ready to leave, I said, "Hey, I've got some cookies at home, anyone want to come have some?" Little did I know this was a HUGE mistake. Mr. T takes me up on it. Not a big deal. So he rides with me, (he is the only one who came) and I let him in and bring out the cookies. Well, what do you do after you have cookies? I have homework, but it seemed a little rude to send him away when he'd just gotten there. So we decided to watch a movie. In the middle of the day. With my roommate around.
So we are watching the movie and he just stares at me! I am completely ignoring it because I do NOT want to get involved (already sent one guy on a mission, NOT doing that again). He'll pretend for a while that he's watching the movie, but it is so obvious he is not. He then asks if I want a backrub. Um, excuse me? Why would I want you to touch me?
I'm sitting cross legged on the couch, and I can tell he totally wants to put his hand on my knee. At the end, I have just about had enough of the crazy tension and finally move to the chair. From there, I cannot see when he stares at me. I dragged my roommate along to drop him off at home because I totally did not want any awkward goodbyes.
I don't think he has a clue as to how old I am. And I am so grateful for my roommate for coming with me to drop him off. That was one of the most awkward moments I have had in a long time. Blech!

Oh gosh. Sorry girl!
But it reminds me of this episode of the old show Freaks and Geeks. (Did you ever see it? If not, you should! It's hilarious!) In one episode, one of the guys goes on a date (to the laserdome) and wants to kiss the girl he's with. His friend is sitting behind him and while the date is getting food, they chat. His friend tells him: "Just stare at her. Soon you'll have to kiss because there's nothing else to do." haha! Oh man, it's so funny. Maybe Mr. T. had similarly bad advice!
If nothing else it makes for a very funny blog entry.
Nicole, I am so sorry, but I just have to laugh....and laugh hard. Silly boys!
Yes....but is he cute??? ;)
