Maybe I shouldn't be in this class? Or maybe I should take a once a week class. Is there an accelerated version?
One thing's for sure. This isn't a bird course. I can't fly right through it. Well, not that it's not easy. This class is super convenient. And you shouldn't ever do anything just because it's convenient (except for carpooling because that is good for the environment). You have to have some sort of other motivation and interest in any course for it to be worth it.
What most people think is that I just have the crush because I live with him.
I thought that too. So, I started trying out other extracurricular activities (aka dating other people). I am totally not interested in anyone else. I really, truly don't think that I have the patience for any other men right now. You'd think that because I live with him that I would get annoyed at all of the weird quirks he has. I don't.
Lesson #1: When POI invites you out with his friends, definitely go (most of the time).
POI invites me to hang out with his friends all of the time. I go most of the time. I usually decide to go at the last minute so as not to pretend like I am constantly relying on him for plans. If I don't go, he always tells me his friends asked about me.
When I do go on these fake-dates, he always drives. I hate driving and I suck at it. He drives and we chat. We pick up food together, we ride together, but when we get where we are going, I am never needy. I make new friends. I laugh a lot. I have a genuinely good time.
When we were coming home from a party, he said, "That's what I love about you. You can make friends with anyone, you don't complain and I didn't have to entertain you the entire night."
Lesson #2: When POI compliments what you are wearing, always tell him it is just what you had to wear for work.
"That color of dress looks great on you, with your new color hair. I like the dark hair." (I know, I know, I dyed my hair AGAIN.)
I decided that even though I work in a casual office, that I should dress up every day. Every day can be a day where I come home to a compliment like that! This can backfire though, if the POI has plans on that specific day, you can wear whatever you want to wear.
Stay tuned for more tragic adventures in fake dating...although I might take a break to tell some other stories in between.

Living with a crush must be so interesting and awkward. Or maybe just I am awkward. Tell us more about your new hair color.
Here's a question, do you get the vibe that he has a crush on you as well, and you're both just being really good about it, or are we entering an unrequited love type situation? Either way (and I sure hope it's the former and m=not the latter) I look forward to hearing more...
He notices that you dye your hair and compliments your outfits? Yeah, these are details that most guys don't get. Kudos to him.
I've always said that I think life gets you to where you need to be. Maybe this is where you need to be.
Enjoy it.
okay, you might find yourself on my blogroll just so I don't forget to check back in on this situation.
I have a similar thing going down in July. A gal I used to make out with is moving into my place for a month, and I have girlfriend. We were on a break when I agreed to this. Could be trouble. Not nearly as fun as your thing.
tell him! why can't u tell him, clumsy?
Poor you! Fake dating sounds harder than real dating.
