Last week I decided that I was going to make some new friends so I could play with a ton of people during this seven week break. So naturally I started at the guys apartments and invited them all over to a game night at my house later that week. I missed one apartment which happened to be my FHE Brothers so I figured I'd let them know the next day at FHE. I didn't get around to inviting any other girls, but that's besides the point. The next day at FHE I walked in and I knew I was in trouble. I had a new admirer that was one of those out of the ordinary guys. He creeped me out a little bit then with his constant stares in my direction and his name dropping and obvious attempts to impress but it wasn't anything I hadn't come in contact with before. He showed up to my game night with one of his roommates and I decided to not completely ignore him and try hard to be nice to him and not creeped out. It turned out okay. We all had fun playing games and I knew he still was interested but didn't think anything else of it. That is until last night.
He wrote something on my wall on face book and I decided to looked at his wall to check out who this kid was. As I looked at his status updates for the last 4 days I felt like I was in a horror movie and was the girl who just stumbled on to something that showed the other character to be crazy. You know with the screeching music in the background. HA I don't quite know how to explain it. All of his status updates were about me and how wonderful I was. I mean I had only talked to this kid like twice in my life by this point. He asked me out to go on a walk and I dodged the invitation.
Later that night he started talking to me on facebook and he popped the question. He asked if I wanted to talk some time. I decided to stop him in his tracks right there. This is what I said:
Deborah:
Well I am not exactly sure know what you mean by that but I think I have a good Idea. I have had fun playing games with you on Monday and Thursday night and I am very flattered by your obvious interest in me. The things you have said about me are very kind. But I do not want to lead you on in any way.
I really think it is best if we stay friends and have fun at FHE together

Pretty good yeah? I was proud of myself for the tact that I often lack in these situations. Well that is when everything went to pieces. He mentioned that he had figured I wouldn't be interested in me after he looked at all the research he had done on me. This is what he said: (lets just call him detector gadget)
Detector Gadget:
anyways - yeah - I took all the measures in defense - gave myself the "speech", heck I did a lot of "research" and found that I'd even have less of a chance than I thought after looking over a few things
00:02
Deborah
what did you look at?
00:03
Detector Gadget:
Columbia, MD has a mean income of about $95,000 per capita; you have a convertible, are friends with nearly 500 people, many of whom are guys that are much better looking than I am. Interested in only "friendship and random play" but yet you're not much younger than me, among a plethora of other things
may I also note - my father is retired Military Intelligence - its in my nature to research EVERYTHING
00:04
Deborah
what other things? I am interested
00:05
Detector Gadget:
your house is on a hill, your high school isn't bad, the amount of stuff in your blog pics suggests you're fairly well-off; plus you're gorgeous, and carry yourself well and your pics suggest that you've been to a lot of weddings too. You seem to be very much a extrovert and don't seem to want to be tied down to one person just yet.
yes - I was thorough - you can say it
00:06
Deborah
how do you know what HS I went to and that my house is on a hill?
00:06
Detector Gadget:
satellite photos - plus your high school is in your profile
00:07
Deborah
LOL oh ok
00:07
Detector Gadget:
I PROMISE its not a stalker thing - I'm not like THAT
00:07
Deborah
HA okay cuz that's not what it sounds like.
LOL but can I correct your errors?
00:07
And that just gives you a little taste of this kid. I was trying really hard while chatting with him to not show how utterly freaked out I was. I mean yes, I will admitt it I have face booked stalked a few in my time but nothing like this. More like: let me see what kind of movies this kid likes and if he is dating anyone. You also have to realize that this kid got all this information about me on his own. We never really had any "get to know you" chats during the two times I had ever interacted with him! WHO FINDS A GIRL'S HOME ADDRESS AND THEN LOOKS IT UP ON GOOGLE EARTH? Or looks up the average income in her city. ohy!
So there you have it. And after I took a look at his blog and read the 3 posts dedicated to me I decided I was going private again. Here is the comment that really pushed me to closing the doors of my blog,
"Past that, there wasn't much else to go on. I pretty much spent the rest of the day crushing on the one girl that I've mentioned previously - though she's gorgeous, bubbly, spiritual, smart, and I found out today - apparently pretty well-off too. I'm praying for a shot with her, I really am! That shot could come tomorrow - we'll see! (Maybe I'll post a link to her blog here soon, just so I can demonstrate what I'm up against!)"
I'm not really the biggest fan of hm and his friends checking up on my blog, so it has come to this...
I do want to set the record straight that I am not well off. LOL he decided that after he google earthed my house and got the strange idea it was on a hill. But I will be honest and say he does have a great sense of character. One of his face book statuses says and I quote "She's like perfection in its mortal form...". I mean really, who can argue with that?!
