so i had written off the boy from halloween - he was cute and sweet, but really too young and we don’t have much in common. i had hoped that he would not be in touch, and when he did, i was flattered but i told him that i was busy (not a lie- that is almost always true). i told him that i would let him know when my schedule lightens up - which it hasn’t. but he emailed me again this weekend, and although it took me a few days to read it, when i did, i was flattered–he said “i definitedly wanted to try you one more time.”
so i figured -what the heck, i can meet up with him. i’ll just be straight with him as to my situation.
i googled him out of curiosity, and it turns out that he runs a public charter school in oakland, one of the worst school districts in ca but his school has one of the best academic records in the state. he looks very boyish and probably doesn’t look older than some of his students. in contrast, he went to one of the elite private school in the area and then on to the ivy league. so i guess this is his way of giving back to the community.
