So there's this guy...

I've had a crush on him for a little bit. I met him dancing. He's 22, a Christian, he lives close to me, he's cute, intelligent, and has a great sense of humour.

I've been spending a bit of time with him (everything I can make an excuse for - carpooling and such), and have had a blast. We've had great conversations and really all I want to do is spend as much time with him as I can.

The problem is that in a week he leaves to do a year of school in Ottawa. This could be worse. At least my dad works in Ottawa. But still, it seems like I always go for the ones that are not available.

This, of course, hasn't stopped me from spending time with him. It's hard when your head and heart say different things.

So tonight we went dancing. It's about a half an hour drive each way, and we also went out for food afterwards. I had a phenomenal time. At the end of it he asked me if I want to go out to the movies tomorrow. My heart jumped, of course, and I said yes. But wait - I've got work.

So I get asked out by someone whom I have a limited amount of time with and whom I really like, and I can't because of work. The frustration is almost unbearable - it's almost as strong as what I feel because he's leaving.

Even still, it's really nice to feel something strongly for someone again. At least I'm alive.
