Coolness

So that boy I mentioned in an earlier post, (entitled "my so great life" linked here) long story short...we went to devo every week and studied sometimes and had dinner and hung out a little too....Well on thursday i plucked up the courage and had this conversation with him. (not verbatim)

Me: So I've been wanting to talk to you about this. I like you. But you're really hard to read, so I'm not sure where you are on all this. But regardless of anything else, I want to be your friend.

A: I've been told that I'm hard to read before. I like you too. I think you're really cool.

And then we talked about how it's the end of the semester and we don't want to get too close to anyone. But I feel like our defenses are down, and I'm maybe getting closer than I mean to.

On Friday, I held his hand. (he held mine back)

On Saturday, he put his arm around me.

and on Sunday (today) I kissed him on the cheek.

What do you do when there is no time to move forward and no desire to move backwards?
