I actually feel kind of relieved.  I can see myself a lot more comfortable around – being more “friendly” and a lot less nervous.  ‘Cause not I know he does like me.  I’m still sort of confused – What is he afraid of?  Hmm, I wonder.  But all this will be good for me too – I get to learn date etiquette.  Aren’t parents supposed to teach you these things?  Well, I get to teach myself and I’ll be sure to give my kids lessons.  I guess the only thing I have trouble with is remembering to say thank you.  And the trouble I have with people spending money on me.  Just called Mom – she said just to say thank you.  But I don’t want to end up like her – manipulating people into buying stuff for me.
