I met a boy I actually like. One who can be sweet and sensitive, but has that glint of evil in his eye that says he's not a pushover. One who is young at heart and body but has a maturity of mind rarely found these days. One who understands that life really is too short to waste away each day doing nothing.

He's the type to play trivial pursuit until 3 am, listen to bluegrass over a pint of good beer, go to a soccer game, buy green tea at the farmer's market, spend time with his family, travel to any country he can possibly figure out how to find a cheap plane ticket to, talk and laugh with limbs entwined, be responsible while letting go, be chivalrous without being pretentious, joke about being a boy scout and fuzzy handcuffs all in the same breath, be shy and tentative and demanding a minute later in bed, appreciate my superman underwear, appreciate cooking and discovering new food... and I know all this and I barely know him. It can only get better from here.

He said something extremely insightful -- that the two of us are a lot alike in that we are geeks who can function socially, up to a point. And its true.

He makes me want to shed all my BS. No lies. I want him to get to know me. I don't need to shock him into thinking I'm something I'm not. I don't need him to have some sort of dark history because he is so amazing without it. He makes me want to do more, and be a better person. And it's amazing. And I want to share it all with him.
