Or a continuation of what has been?

I’ve been in Orlando since Sunday, and talked with MJCF until midnight both Monday and Tuesday. I can’t get a decent cell signal unless I go outside and stand in the middle of the parking lot, so calling him was out of the question. Instead we’ve been chatting online using Messenger, two hours on Monday and nearly three hours last night.

He uses “we” so much: “Here’s what we should do.” “We knew that already.” “Hey, we need to go there.” Last night he, appalled at how few movies I watch, decreed that “We need to have a weekly movie night.” He even agreed to my “demand” that I get to pick one movie per month and he has to watch it. We narrowed it down to Tuesday or Wednesday, but didn’t set a final date. He also said that we need to go see this one movie that we’ve both been talking about and decided to do that next week.

At one point he made a saucy comment and I said, “You’re just an exhibitionist!” He said something noncommittal and I replied, “Is that agreement, disagreement … ????” He said, “I plead the 5th.” I said, “Why? You’re talking to me!” then added, “You know, you don’t have to open up to me but you can … and you can trust me.” He did go on to tell me what he previously “plead the 5th” about … It reminded me of a conversation that we had several months ago. He told me that he had never been in love because he hadn’t opened himself up to anyone like that … yet. That’s part of the reason why I’ve been letting him go at his own pace, but I’m getting to the point where I need to know if he likes me. That also means I need to stick my neck out there and tell him that I like him, which is only like the most terrifying thing ever.
