haha, maybe I'll post some artwork later.

Wouldn't making something for him be too much...? If I don't want to come off as crazy and clingy...

NEwayZ I have an update. So...I didn't touch the phone for days after the last call, and you know what? It worked, guys. He texted me this morning asking me what I was doing...I asked him, aren't you away already? And he responded, "Nah, I decided to stay one more day."

Me: (internally) GREAT SUCCESS!!

We made plans to do lunch. It was kinda awkward when we met up, like every time I thought it was a moment to take his hand we'd separate or something or he'd walk faster and I'd miss it, haha. ( ._.;;)

He's also poor this time around, so he didn't offer to pay. I knew this, but I wanted to offer to pay for him to show him I could do something nice for him, too (is this a dating faux pas?) but when we ordered at the sandwich shop and I tried to order together he told the girl, "separate..." and looked at me. I hope he wasn't offended that it looked like I expected him to pay for me. I smiled and said, "I can take care of you too, you know..." And he very adamantly refused -haha, I hope this didn't insult him as well.

Well, we walked to the movies again and we were in the city, so I kept on getting shuffled about by the crowd, so he finally said, "here," and offered me his arm.

（ ´ー｀）

Anyway, we ended up going to see Speed Racer. (We really loved it!) I put my hand on top of his during the movie, and again he readjusted it so that it was more comfortable. At the end of the movie, I said, "did you know, that 'go' in Japanese means five, so it would be Go Mach Go Go?"

He laughed about it and then said he didn't.

So then I said, "and there's another word in Japanese that I like...my Japanese best friend taught it to me."

HIM: ??
Me: ...deeto. (デート...forgive the romanization if it's wrong...de-to?)
Him: which is...?
Me: Date.
Him: Ah. -laughs- I see.
Me: So...when you get back...you'll take me on a デート, right?
Him: -smiling- Yes.

!!!!

GREAT SUCCESS.

(And to those of you who are wondering, yes, that was sickeningly rehearsed in my head for a long time ahead of time...)

He had to catch his bus right after the movie, but he took the time to walk me back to where I needed to be. He gave me a hug when he left, and I think he wanted to kiss me on the cheek, but we were in a public place.

He said, "Mark your calendar, I'll be back on the 20th!"

I'm happy. THANKS GUYS! YOU ARE ALL AWESOME.
