Boyz

Boys are like wild kittens: they look so cute and cuddly, but once you get too close, they run away. (I made that up just now).

So, there is this really cute guy that I spotted at my church about a month ago, but I always spot cute guys, so I thought nothing of this one.

Now, just a couple of nights ago there was a Praise and Worship night at church for all the youth groups and College 'N Career. I am a junior youth sponsor, so I officially HAD to be there. Which I didn't mind, of course; I love being at my church.

I went over to stand by the sanctuary doors and began calling all the youth groups in, when he caught my eye.

So, I spent the entire evening glancing over at him and trying my best to be completely inconspicuous while doing so. Well, it just so happens that he didn't even look my way once all night.

I was pretty ticked at myself when I got home that evening, because I am usually super outgoing around anyone and everyone, not to mention that I have no problem introducing myself to every person in sight.

But I could not, for the life of me, get myself to go and talk to him. There is just something about actors, singers, movie stars, and THIS BOY that makes it very difficult for me to function properly. My usual cool, calm, and collected self turns into a stammering, rosy-cheeked, clumsy wreck.

So, at church on Sunday I was getting ready to go sit in my seat with the choir because we were performing that day, and then I saw him, all clad in his light yellow button-up shirt, dark ripped jeans, and perfectly structured visage... LOOKING AT ME.

My breath literally caught in my throat and I tried desperately to keep my nonchalant aura surrounding me as I talked to my other friends.

That was the first time he had ever glanced in my direction (well, the first time I'd noticed anyway... and I was keeping a pretty close eye on him).

I thought I had stared at his face for a little too long, because his mouth turned up into a little awkward smile, and then he moved away to keep chatting with his friends. Of course, all of this happened in only a split second.

I could have KICKED myself in the shins for being such at idiot. I'm sure the expression on my face was as open as a book that read, "Wow, you are so handsome. I am in awe of your exquisiteness."

But, to my dismay, I couldn't do anything to reverse the time, and the rest of the Sunday went along as planned.

People, I don't even know his name! What is wrong with me?!?

I will admit, I do get slight infatuations when I first meet a cute character, but this is just ridiculous.

I
DON'T
EVEN
KNOW
HIS
NAME,
for goodness sakes!

I am going to try my best to put a damper on my racing heart before my little parade gets rained on by a boy that is the picture of beauty.
