yup, that's pretty much it. Well, mostly. Because he was flirting with
me too (maybe even first) and I just thought we were being friendly and
whatever, (and I thought he had a crush on my roommate, but apparantly
not) but I guess not. Most of the time such signals go unnoticed (or
maybe they are ignored) and my life is so much easier. However, the
rumor mill and "well meaning" friends tend to make things worse. Okay,
really worse. And SOME boys really are trouble, with these silly
ambiguous dates and whatnot. I am being cynical today. Perhaps living
in close proximity with so many late teenagers is affecting my
hormones? I am SO ready to go home.

I'm sure that my gender cynicism is not directed at you personally. In
fact, most boys I know are very nice, some are even intelligent
thoughtful people. Imagine. (watch me backpedal. This is what I get
for broadcasting my frustrations. People say reasonable things to me)
