I know it's very early on, but the more I get to know him, the more I am convinced of our compatibility. He really isn't at all like I imagined him to be as a person, but not in a bad way. He may be nine years older, but he's such a child at heart.

What I really like about him, what guys in the past have been lacking in, is that he notices the little things. For example, the other day we were sitting next to each other reading our respective papers. I noticed he was looking over at me, so I asked him what? I had been underlining certain parts of the paper while highlighting others. He said he was trying to figure out the difference between the two - why I was highlighting certain parts but then would underline others. Little things like that. The other day he said he would really like to watch the movies I call my favorite because he wants to get to know me in any way he can. Things like that I really appreciate.

I still can't believe that he noticed me in the beginning of bio 20a spring quarter exactly two years ago. That he has also had a crush on me during this whole time. I still don't believe him when he tells me he would stare at me in lecture and would have to force himself to look away. That he stood in front of the room after class specifically hoping I would come up to him and ask him questions. "Anything to try to get you to talk to me," he said.

I had coached myself through multiple ways to graciously accept his rejection after I asked him out. I was expecting a no. I wasn't expecting any of this.
