Through the months of getting over Will, I’ve come to know this guy named Luke. He’s a really sweet guy and great to talk to, even though he sometimes doesn’t answer what I ask and takes ages to reply.
Jeremy’s family was actually the one who brought Luke and his family to one of my dad’s meetings. I saw Luke from across the room and we stared at each other for a while until one of us smiled and looked away. Throughout the meeting we kept glancing over at one another until he finally walked up to me with his brother,Thomas.
We introduced ourselves and started talking. I think Jem noticed some of the flirting Luke and I were doing, because he didn’t look too happy when I snuck a glance at him.
Jem also didn’t look very pleased when I sat by Thomas. Turns out, Jem doesn’t like Luke’s brother because he tried to take Jeremy’s sister away from her current husband. Ever since that incident, Jem has decided that he doesn’t like Thomas or Thomas’ family. I’m upset that Jem feels that way, because whenever I bring Luke up in a conversation it turns cold and weird. But, this all happened before I knew any of them, so I’m not going to get involved.
I’ve been "Snapchatting" Luke for a couple months now, but I still don’t really know him. I can tell you a couple things about him, but I couldn’t tell you his favorite movie or favorite book, you know the important stuff. I hope to get to know him more because he seems like a great guy and he already knows how to make me laugh.
One day, while we were snapchatting, he asked me if we could talk on Facebook because he wanted to ask me something. I wondered what this question could be and after he started small talking I could guess what direction he was going to go in. Sure enough, the first question he asked was whether I had ever been in a relationship or not. I told him about Will and he started asking me what happened. I answered, but only told him the necessary information. I thought he was only going to ask one or two questions before he got to the point, but he’s still, to this day, asking me more and more questions.
I’ve never been great at keeping a conversation going because I never know what questions to ask, but boy does Luke have some good questions. I am still wondering what his point is going to be at the end of this, he might just want to know me better to see where he wants to go with our friendship. I don’t know.
I know that if Luke asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend I would have to say no. Even if I wanted to go into a relationship with Luke, and I think I do, I’d have to remember that he lives thousands of miles away from me. I’ve done the whole long distance thing and know that it’s not the right direction to go in when starting a relationship, so I’d have to tell him this and hope that he understands.
I believe that I have feelings for Luke, I think about him enough, but I’m still not sure. Whenever he sends me a snapchat, I get all excited and can’t wait to open it. However, in an effort to not look desperate, I usually wait a minute or so before I open it. When I do, I stare into his gorgeous blue eyes and find myself unable to help smiling when looking at his adorable smile.
Ok, maybe I really do have feelings for Luke. This week we’ve actually spoke the longest we ever have. On Saturday, we talked for three hours straight. It was really late where he lived so he kept saying he had to go but didn’t want to. I think it has been one of the best conversations I’ve had with him. We were laughing a lot, but we also talked about life subjects, such as parents and strictness.
I have never gotten into a relationship with someone I’ve just met. When you’re in a relationship you think you have to talk and act in a certain way to keep your boyfriend or girlfriend feeling like they are cared about, and soon you become someone that you’re not. But, when you're just friends, you can see each other for who you really are. Trust me, if anyone can stand being friends with me for longer than a year, then they’re a keeper. :P
