crushin'

He says he loves being single because he's a college athlete. He says he needs to get over a girl back home but he's getting there.
He says he respects that I want to stay single for awhile. He says he loves being my friend.
He says I'm beautiful as a brother would say it. He says God put me in his life to help him, and him in my life to help me.
He says I have shown him there are still amazing girls out there.
He says he liked the six hour Skype conversation. I completely agreed.
He says he loves my smile, he'd do anything to make me smile.
He tells me all about the strength he sees in me because of what I've been through.
He says he likes my eyes. I like his too.
He doesn't believe I need makeup, he truly believes beauty comes from the heart. How refreshing.
He says I matter because God gives me value.
He wants to be in my life in an encouraging way, I want him in my life as long as possible.
And he prays for our friendship to continue, however the Lord would will it.

What is he really saying? I'm analyzing again. I have a crush, ahh. What?!

I say his laugh is the most adorable thing ever. And the half smile he does keeps finding its way into my brain. I never thought I would say those two sentences about anyone other than my ex. But I did. It's like I hear freedom in the distance or something.

So I am going to come out and say he is a little bit cute. A lot a bit cute. 

If you hop on over to the post Hairy Legged Boys you will find him in the first paragraph. I'm not looking at him as a prospect to cure my loneliness. I am looking at him as a fantastic guy who has proven himself to me. Friendship has been such an awesome thing to have with this boy and over time I have become quite fond of what makes him, him. He has made a huge impact in my life and pointed me toward God in an extremely encouraging and positive way.

Yep, I like a boy. And friendship is going to be such a great thing (it will be a lonnnnnng friendship, I am not saying I am getting into a relationship with him anytime soon).
