i went out on a supposed friendly date that turned into a pretty romantic one instead.

an acquaintance introduced us... and we've been sending friendly messages... last night, we ended up going to the UP Sunken Garden. It was my gift for my "date".

My date is wonderful... a Christian, sensible, realistic, and well grounded...

somehow, i cannot write about this date... the memories are hard to put into words...

let's just say, my resolve to stay out of a relationship until next year is wavering a little... it's just so different, because here is someone who will not be far away... someone who will hold me when i am scared and not think i'm irrational... someone who does not doubt what i say and believes me when i say things... someone who understands that life is beautiful without the pretentious notions other people have.

i think i'm infatuated.
