As any of my friends would attest, normally, I am the very dictionary definition of commitment-phobia. So, it is exceedingly indicative of the strength of my previously mentioned crush that I am beginning to see actual long-term potential.

In fact, I suspect she is too, as between standard conversation and flirtation, she has been slipping in relationship logistics questions: What time do you like to go to sleep and wake up? or On a vacation weekend, would you rather head to the mountains or the beach?

Exceedingly promising signs, yet as neither of us appears to have the cajones to acutally make a move, we are trapped indefinitely in an ongoing relationship circling dance. Note to self: stop being such a pansy and close the deal.
