An Experiment: Update #3

11 July 2007
Last night was a pretty good night for me. My EQ President gave me a call to see how I was doing. I then had him come over to give a me blessing. It was something that I really needed. When I asked him, I was scared and kind of embarrassed to ask him. I, however, asked him. He said that he would be over in a few minutes and he came over with one of my new home teachers. They were both really nice and they stayed to talk to me for awhile. I think that it would have been better for me to be alone with the EQ President so I did not really have to lie about how I was feeling. Oh well, I guess that is the way it goes. Before he left, I wanted to give him a big hug, but then I thought it would be weird with the other guy there, so I settled for a handshake. They left and as I was going to bed, the EQ President texted me and we chatted for awhile. Then I went to bed. It was nothing spectacular, but it was a very kind of him and his willingness to support me. He is great!

Today as I have been sitting in the Cougareat eating lunch, doing homework, and watching people (this is one of my favorite past times), I saw this one guy from my ward. Lately I have been seeing him all the time. I do not know his name, but I recognize him. As I was looking at hi today, I was overcome by the spirit. I felt that God had an immense love for me and that he wanted me to succeed in life. I stopped looking at this guy and the feeling went away. I looked over at him periodically and I kept feeling the spirit very strongly. Is he the one who is supposed to be my friend? It boggles my mind if he is because I have been looking and watching his movements while I have been eating lunch this whole semester. It will be interesting to see who gets chosen.

PS I realized that this sounds really creepy that I like to watch people and that I have been watching this guy for this whole semester. I promise that I am not a stalker. I just like to watch people that intrigue me and he intrigues me.

Perhaps you intrigue him as well. Maybe you should just go up to him and say 'hi' sometime.

Of course, this is a "do as I say, not as I do" bit of advice as I would probably be too shy and intimidated.

I don't know if I can do this. I think that I would wet my pants if I went up to him! What would I say? "Hi, my name is Sean and I am in your ward. I have been watching you eat lunch almost everyday this semester. I am really intrigued by you. Do you want to talk?" Holy cow! I wouldn't even know where to begin when I talk to him. I'll have to keep this advice in mind so just in case I find something to talk to him about.

Thanks for the advice and if it happens, it might be another post on how I talked to my intriguing friend.

my opinion is if your having such feelings then I would hold off cause if it were me and he turned out to be the one then if I had previously talked with him it would be completely awkward when the bishop introduced me... so if that made sense great if not forget I said anything

Uh, you could just say 'hi, we're in the same ward' and leave it at that and let him make the next move.

But, I fully understand how you feel. In addition to wetting my pants, my face would probably turn beet red (which I'm prone to do when I get really nervous) :)

You could try, "Hello, I'm Gimple. Talking to you made me wet my pants."

You may then suggest a hug. :)

Hey I've sat in the Cougareat just eating lunch and watching people too! I love doing that. It's not creepy at all. Although, just saying hi to people that are in your ward shouldn't make you wet your pants--but how was I supposed to know? ;)

I love people watching!
