You haven't updated in a while, and I know you're at home already, but from the second email he seems SUPER cute (like you said, in a nerdy way). I mean, he was careful to point out that what he said in the first email probably sounded a bit ambiguous. Plus, he might be a bit shy as he didn't approach you in person (obviously the TA thing played a part, but still. TA's go out with students ALL the time) and the part about 'tunes' is hella cheesy!<br />The 28th part doesn't seem like that big of a deal, either, ya know?<br />ANYWAY I miss you and can't wait to see you. Hope you're still up for some California dreamin'!<br /><br />lovelovelove<br />nikkiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10495073600271755312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833066697728723867.post-48075214438245978532009-05-08T22:02:00.000-05:002009-05-08T22:02:00.000-05:00You're still young but I have no issues with onlin...You're still young but I have no issues with online dating, granted I don't add fools from Myspace or facebook but anyways<br /><br />Go for that date!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833066697728723867.post-36538662491947623152009-05-08T16:45:00.000-05:002009-05-08T16:45:00.000-05:00I hope you do good on your finals!

If it doesn't work out, you don't have to do it again and if it does you could have made a friend, possibly more. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon!The BC Globetrotterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06437036109489870021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833066697728723867.post-40410569148193749412009-05-07T21:15:00.000-05:002009-05-07T21:15:00.000-05:00Girl, shutup and go for it...

Plus u sorta know him even if he was just a TA, grad students just do it for money anyway. <br /><br />I tried the online dating thing but came up with nothing. i was just looking but I still didnt get an overwhelming response either so i axed it.

I would do it again in a heartbeat if I found someone interesting. A connection is a connection, distance be damned.<br /><br />Also, Chris sounds like a polite fellow doesn't he? I wouldn't be too worried about the 8 year difference, but then again, I'm a guy. I would still take a chance and head out with him on a date/get-together at least once. He's approaching you very respectfully, which is a good sign in my book.strangetimesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8833066697728723867.post-69319923384362205562009-05-07T07:38:00.000-05:002009-05-07T07:38:00.000-05:00Do it.
