Potential Boyfriends

As of last night I have discovered four potential boyfriends. Well, five if you include Ryan G. but I'd rather be his friend than date him but he has let me know that the offer is there. I've met each of them through a friend and I told myself that if I were to date someone it would be because I actually met them in person first as opposed to online. I can still remember how I met all of them, mind you I met two of them just last week. Even though I do like each of them, there is something about them that makes it to where I just can't see me dating them. Most of the cases are unexplainable. Anyways, here they are in no specific order (although it's probably a thematic order).

1. Jonathan C. -- I met him last week through Josh. He's funny and pretty cute. He's also Asian and I used to be obsessed with everything Asian. He literally lives down the road in walking distance so it wouldn't be too inconvenient. But he's basically told me, though not in these words, that he would only be able to date someone when it convenienced him. He's pretty busy but as am I. So I see this one as being the least likely to work out.

2. Joseph F. -- I met him last weekend through Chris and Caleb. We went to his house to drink. He lives on the next street over but it's still pretty close. Definitely close enough to walk though we didn't. It was really fun. He has nice looks as well and he plays hockey. The next day Caleb texted me basically asking me if he wanted me to hook us up so it makes me believe that Joseph likes me. Well, that and he keeps poking me on Facebook. Little does Caleb know I can do things quite well on my own and Joseph took me to Wal-Mart that day. It was pretty fun and the conversation flowed nicely. He seemed a little subservient though and always walked a couple feet behind me. But this could just be because I walk really fast and I'm over analysing things. I wouldn't mind dating him but he's not my top choice.

3. Paul B. - I met him last semester through Dustin B., definitely no relation. Dustin told me on more than one occasion that Paul thought I was cute. I wasn't really attracted to him at the time but as I got to know him better we became friends. He took me out on a couple of dates but nothing particularly amazing sparked and then for some reason we just stopped hanging out. Nothing bad happened. We just stopped. And now we're becoming friends again and I believe the attraction is growing. I stayed the night at his house last night. He studied for a bit and then we started tickling each other then we went to bed. Of course we cuddled and it was pretty nice. It was probably one of the first times I was able to sleep while cuddling and I imagine we slept peacefully because we woke up in the same position. Sometimes we bicker but it's nothing too serious so I guess we'll see where things lead.

And finally...

4. Josh H. - Surprised? Me too. We met on a bus through Dustin B. He's kind of nerdy and a little dorky and, though I make fun of him for it, he's probably the one I'd want to be with over the rest. We've been hanging out quite a bit and I really enjoy the moments we spend together. The only problem is that I don't want anything to happen to our friendship. I don't want things to be weird or to end completely. There are times when I can sense he may be attracted to me as well, though I'm probably completely wrong, and other times I just feel as if I annoy him. Which isn't surprising. I'm a pretty annoying person. Even if nothing happens I would still be quite content with us remaining to be friends.

Since I'm at a loss for what to do, I figure I'll let them do the pursuing for a week or more. I've decided that I'm going to return back to the ways of old fashioned dating. Some have mentioned going on one but I've yet to see a follow-up so none are really scoring any points :P As always, I guess I'm just going to see how things go.
