Manipulating?

I was chatting with InternBill today about the busy week I have ahead. I mentioned "and, I have to fit a date in sometime this week." He said "Really? cool! :-)". We joked ever so briefly about me actually having dates sometimes. Then, I realized it was 5 o'clock and I had to run for my bus. Fast forward 3 hours. We're chatting again (because, yeah, that's the way we roll), and he mentioned very casually ('btw' actually) that during his 4 week long road trip he'll be stopping in Seattle for a couple of hours (since we're so on the way to... anything? Actually, they're going to Mt. Rainer, which is a different story.). And, he threw in, "we should get lunch." Sounds like a guy who is realizing that he had probably make some sort of move before I'm taken.

Frankly, that makes me happy. I feel a little like I manipulated him into it, but I didn't really. So, yeah. Lunch with InternBill... in a month. I don't really know anyone who schedules dates months in advance. Oh, well, I guess it works for us.

On the Mt. Rainer thing: they'll probably be camping there for the night and he wants me to go spend the evening—and ideally the night—up there. I told him I was in for the evening, but, it's a school night, so I might have to come back home to sleep. He's excited. So am I.
