I needed to see people last night so I went to my local hangout. Since I requested an NA beer, they now have 4 options and a LOT of people are ordering them. I'm so proud of the entire situation. Owner told me I started it, but he's happy about it. They've even gotten in people who stopped coming in b/c they didn't want to be around alcohol just drinking soda. I know it could be due to money, but I like to think the owner wants to support the community too. Anywho, that's not the point of my story.
The head bartender, E, at my local hangout is someone whose company I truly enjoy. We always talk a lot when I'm there. Last year I invited him to my birthday party and he had given me a card that had a message that was rather....IDK, it hit me as intimate? But I just shook it off as he was being nice (he does seem emotionally intelligent) and I was not used to men who showed emotions like friendship. Well, last night I got my Christmas card (that he's been holding onto since the Christmas party on 12/16, b/c he was too busy to give it to me then). The message is as follows:
"Dear Varuna: you are a wonderful and fascinating human with an aura of light. Looking forward to raving with you soon.

XOXO

, E".

Anyway, awhile ago we discovered that we both love EDM, so had planned to go to a rave towards the end of February. He had told me he had a GF, at least a few months ago. We were looking up the tickets and I said, Oh, they have one on 2/14! Oh wait..that's Valentine's Day, you'll be doing something with your GF. He said no, she'd broken up with him awhile ago. Then we talked about that. So now we're doing the rave on 2/14 and 2/21.
So, I'm slightly laughing, slightly freaking out, and mostly ignoring. All of my friends are like, Yeah, that's...something, but IDK what. I was like, None of you are any help, b/c we're all the same person and don't understand things like this!!!
I'll report back after the 2/14 rave if anything scandalous happens.
