His name's Jake. He works at Bethesda too, though out in Forest Grove. I met him last Friday at a training meeting and he wouldn't stop looking at me. Normally such activity would instigate flirting and blushing and what have you but he was seriously the most obnoxious person alive and I refused to even acknowledge him. Yeah, he was pretty cute but I was like.. no. I don't go for people as ridiculously egotistical and immature as you. I mean, he was being ridiculous. Massive eye roll. We had another training together on Monday and he ended up on the same MAX home. I was not particularly happy about that but talked to him anyway and he ended up being totally normal! Still not my type but he wasn't acting so stupidly obnoxious. Today was our last training together and I talked to him a bunch. Then on the MAX home the trains got delayed for half an hour so we sat and talked for a whole hour. As we got to my stop he asked for my number so we could hang out sometime. I'm bad at saying no to things like that so I gave it to him. No harm done with phone numbers anyway.
He's interested. That is pretty darn clear. Am I interested? No. Not like that. I would like to pursue a friendship though. That'd be okay with me.
Point being that a summer fling is very appealing to me. And he's not too shabby. But it'd just be me using him. That's not fair. I want to get over Alex.. but using a nice boy to do that is not okay.
*eye roll* life. :p
