Over before it even started

I've been in Rexburg exactly a week today & it feels like I've been here for months. That's definitely not a bad thing though. I love it here. I already have a funny story to tell when I get back home though about this guy I was supposed to go out with, but I think I'm going to hold off on that him.

So this guy, we can call Joe, asked me if I would want to go to the movies with him sometime. Being as this is the first guy to suggest a date, I told him yes. Ya know, being asked out on the first week of classes kind of boosted my confidence a little. That's not bad, right? Anyways, I was getting to my 3:15 pm class yesterday when he texts me "Do you want to hangout for a couple hours before I go to football?" which my response was "I'm totally in class right now. What time is football?" He says 5 & my class ended at 4:45 so I said "Dang, that's unfortunate" & that's the last I heard from him for an hour. This is where things got weird. Here is what happened:

Is that not like...creepy? All my roommates think it's totally weird that he would say that considering 1) He never said he was skipping football to hang out with me & 2) He never asked if I had plans after class. The thing that really kind of bothers me is that the boys I have told don't seem to find it that rude. I just don't get it. I've known this kid for 4 days & he expects me to have a clear my schedule for him?  

So yeah, I texted him back "Oh sorry, I didn't know you were skipping to hang out with me" & he said "Ya I know, it's cool have fun" & I just didn't reply. The really awkward part, I'm going to have to see him every Sunday for the next 13 weeks. Awesome. 

On a better note, I have a date tonight! I'm so nervous I could throw up! Wish me luck. I'll be back soon to let you know how it goes :)
