twenty-first [[WWYD?]]

Okay, so it’s been like 562387943409 days since I’ve posted on here. I’ve been in a bit of a dry spell…no material…well, blog-worthy material. I might have to start writing about friends’ and other people’s relationships…minus names. Hmmm…

But before I resort to that…


I’m going to pose a question. I want some opinions.


So what do you think the “protocol” is for this scenario:

[[Ohgoodness. I can't believe I'm actually putting this out there, but here goes...]]

There’s a person you haven’t seen in like 71287984437567439298345 days (aka: 8-ish years…man, that’s a looong time!), and even then, y’all never actually hung out or had legit conversations really. Lol. :/ (c’mon, it was middle school! How serious could your convos get, really?)

BUT, you’ve randomly chatted/messaged on fb (and I mean once you’re fb friends…haha jk) and said person has been doing some awesome stuff with one of the many movements that’s become pretty well-known fairly recently. Just posts and pictures that the creeper feed highlights make this person seem super spectacular. So much so that it’s bringing back that crush you had on them 71287984437567439298345 days ago…you know, that one that lasted like all three middle school years...while everyone else was busy crushin’ on “twinkie boy” …bahahaha.

I mean, everything (okay, not everything. But the funny stuff…the non-deal-breaker stuff) about y’all is the exactly the opposite: Rival high schools, UT and A&M and then when the movements y’all are involved in are in “competitions” for $$, he’s pub-ing one while you’re pub-ing another…thus, trying to get your friends (some mutual-ish) to vote for the two different things…kind of one or the other, even though you can technically vote for 5 different groups… It’s funny.

It seems like y’all would click (whether it turn into a relationship or just strictly friends). I mean, at this point, besides the fact that he is eh, a few states away (see: west coast) interning with that movement I mentioned earlier, it seems like y’all would totally get along and with the work y’all have both done, with you’re two groups, could share some great stories and experiences.

How do you go about the hang out? I mean, even when Texas is graced again with his presence, it won’t be in Austin. What to do, What to do?


Oh, and I guess I should also mention that you did try and “go for it” once. After y’alls fb chat, you messaged him because your computer got disconnected and ended y’alls conversation…and because you may have had an “agenda” of sorts. See, one of you’re friends was getting married (back in your hometown) and he actually knows her, too, because 71287984437567439298345 days ago, y’all all actually went to school together. You needed, well, wanted, a date to her wedding…mostly someone just to be comedic relief when you were around a group of people you didn’t know, while your best friend was in the wedding party. But, of course, as usual, you waited until the last minute. Like the SUPER last minute, and all your communication was done through fb…not exactly the best source of communication. Anyway, to sum that situation up, you ended up not getting a final answer…thankfully! B/c you got to the wedding late anyway and weren’t able to see the ceremony and the reception was really simple and short, so you definitely saved yourself some major awkward! Y’all wouldn’t have been laughing and making fun of the awkward…y’all would have been the awkward. Phew.


Ooooh, and your best friend also reminded you, a while back, of that one time 71287984437567439298345 days ago that they told him about your crush on him…but you don’t seem to remember that one. I mean, you remember joking about, because who doesn’t do that in middle school? So what was said that day? None of y’all really remembers…unless he remembers being told. Oh goodness, for your sake, let’s hope not.



So yeah, do you just let it go? And pass up something that could potentially lead to something great? And always wonder what if?

OR

Do you say something? I mean, it’s not like you’re chances of running into him are very likely…so what have you got to lose, right?


Do you save face? Or Just go for it? Even just a simple hang out, see if y’all click (to be just friends…or maybe more than just friends, who knows?)…just so you won’t be left wondering…


I mean, for real. This guy seems damn near perfect…well, except for the fact that he’s an A&M fan…hahah jk. But seriously…




What Would You Do?
