This story actually goes back a few months, not that I ever knew about it....
So, Trevor comes up to me slightly before Christmas, and tells me that he sat down and had a conversation with one of the students at the Seminary, and that she commented that she was wondering why I had never asked her out. He tells me that Sarah Councell had mentioned it during dinner one night. So, instantly I got to thinking about it... Sarah Councell really isn't my type.... but if I didn't try, would I be limiting myself? Don't get me wrong, Sarah Councell is a cute girl, who is very nice and very sweet. But maybe TOO nice. Anyway, since I'm not at the Seminary all that often anymore, the thought soon disappeared from my mind.
But within the past few weeks, the situation has resurfaced and with a twist. A very interesting twist, I have to say. Let's just say that I've figured out that Trevor isn't exactly the best at keeping names straight... He's confused a couple of times Sarah Councell, with Sarah Wood.
So, a few weeks back, I was talking to Roberta, who is very good friends with both Sarah Councell and Sarah Wood, and I make a joking comment about taking out her friend Sarah because she wanted me to take her out. And then, since Trevor was in my office at the same time, I asked Roberta which Sarah that Trevor meant. Well, it's Sarah Wood, not Sarah Councell.
So, Sarah Wood might be interested, huh? Different story. Sarah Wood is drop dead gorgeous! And she wonders why I hadn't asked her out? Ummm... because she's out of my league... she's too pretty to be interested in me! But in this situation, I simply cannot miss the chance to take her out. Although I haven't had extended conversations with her, she has always seemed to be awfully sweet, and nice. She goes to the Seminary, so she has to be smart, AND I assume that since she's at the Seminary, she has to be morally the type of girl I like. At any rate, I have promised myself that I will try to take her out for a date, and see if things seem right.
BUT, there's been a slight problem... I haven't really caught her by herself to talk to her or ask her out. And I'm shy. And again, she's out of my league.
So tonight, since we're on Spring Break at EHS, I go to the Seminary to have dinner. And as I grab my tray, and enter the dining room, I notice that there's an empty seat beside Sarah Wood. She noticed me, and I set my tray down next to her and ate my dinner.
We had some nice conversation going on... mostly chit chat, but still more than what I've been able to muster up before (I really do kind of get nervous in her presence... I'm such a geek). Well, she definitely seemed interested, and all seemed well...
... until another Seminary student got in the way... This girl grabs a chair and practically wedges it between Sarah and me. She had no interest that I was in a conversation with her or anything. I politely told the girl that I would move over so she could talk to Sarah. And then Sarah seemed to get quieter, and after a few minutes, they both got up and left. Kinda weird if you ask me... And another detail that I find somewhat ammusing? The "other girl" was wearing a red, long coat and a hat... she looked like... like Mary Tyler Moore... so from here on out, I'll always call her MTM.... She might just make it after all?!?
So, since Trevor and Angela were both there, and they both don't believe she was giving a "rescue signal", I'm not overly worried. I still think that I can get her to go out with me. But I'm still slightly confused as to why the girl rudely did what she did... if it was a test, I think I did the right thing -- I remained a gentleman the whole time.
Anyways, I'm still gearing up at the opportunity to take Sarah out on a date!!
