Today, I took this woman friend of mine out to lunch because it was our last day before we were to part ways. We're both graduating in a few days, and she's going to go to work in DC while I'm moving to another part of Indiana. I've had kind of a crush on her for a while, but it was just the "usual" thing as for when I know a sweet, beautiful Christian lady.
But after today, uh oh. We caught ourselves staring at each other in the eyes as we were talking in this quaint sandwich shop. I was getting a REAL strong emotional response from her, and by her random speech patterns and her continual excuses for seeming "spacey," I could tell from experience that it wasn't exactly an emotionally dry time for her either. I really don't want to start anything with her, but I feel like I screwed that one up big time. I guess the romantic beast inside is trying to get loose!
I need some ideas, but I am not willing to try the "explaining where we're at" kind of thing. Expressing my intentions verbally always makes every friendship I've ever had with a girl awkward. I don't know, maybe I don't need ideas...maybe I just need to confess and vent so that I don't get thrown into emotional bondage again with a girl I cannot nor should ever go after.

, but maybe it has to do with the fact that both of you will be graduating in a few days and that this is just an overly emotional (sentimental) time for both of you? Sometimes the thought of losing touch with someone you admire can cause feelings to go haywire. I think I would just treat her the same way you always have and let things go from there.
