confirmation - post 8

FML...

so - i said i wasn't sure that my classmate was really into the whole "us dating" thing. today, i got my confirmation. picking up from last post (post 7) we were going to a footy match tonight (i'm currently writing this post match) and so we traded a few emails during the day, and in one i said:

"do you have an early day sunday? if not, perhaps we can do something after the match - just the two of us... movie? couple of drinks? quick bite to eat? laying in a field staring at the stars? i'm open to most suggestions...."

to which in an e-mail reply this afternoon i find this line (along with something about already having plans, so just going to come to the match):

"I am kind of seeing somebody right now - nothing official - but I don't want to compromise that."

sooo.... yup. here we are. at least, now i know.

lesson: work on being more up front @ the start - i like you, we should go out and date, if that's cool - great. if not - let me know and we can both save some time and money....

ps - i should probably add that the match actually went well. we chatted and there wasn't the ridiculous awkwardness i was expecting. shame it's not going to work - may not have had long term potential, but it would have been fun :-/
