It gets better. Three hours later, he calls me and apologizes for seeming "distant" this week (uhhh, try for the past 5-6 months buddy). And then he asks me out on a date. I told him I was busy on Saturday night, so that wouldn't work. He asked about Saturday afternoon, and I said that wouldn't work either since I would be leaving in the early evening. So we scheduled for a Sunday afternoon date.
Looks like I found a cheese-filled tunnel! I called my mom and told her the whole thing and we had a good time laughing about it. Still cautiously optimistic though. I don't want to get burned.
