Meet the Neighbors: It's Pool Time

I am living the college dream in this pretty cool apartment complex full of super fun college students with little to no adult supervision, but I don't want my mom to worry so I will just say... "College life is Awesome."

How I meet my cute big smiley neighbor:  

When my roomie and a friend decided we needed to catch a few rays on one of the last days of summer, I was happy to find a swimsuit and head to the pool for a little R&R. For a little bit of privacy, the pool has vines climbing over the fencing but it does little to block out the sounds of the residents with the same idea. We have been to the pool before so we were prepared for the amount of people involved and this day was no exception. 

Girls and boys alike welcomed my little crew as we picked some lounge chairs to spread out our towels. There were a lot of people I have never met before so I decided to introduce myself to some of my neighbors occupying the furniture closest to us. There were three of us so we had to take turns to put on sunblock on our backs. It wasn't awkward at all. Not!

One of the guys offered to help me with the middle of my back. But, I told him I don't let strangers putting their hands on me. "My name is *Jimmy," was all he said as he snatched the sunblock out of my hand to squeeze some into his hand. Hmmmm.... I didn't budge. He saw that I was standing there with my hands crossed across my chest so he walked away with about 50 cents worth of my sunblock in his hand.

"Sorry about that," a cute guy near me said laughing— then said, just low enough for me to hear, "Some people have no home training. When you say no, it means no. I understand that, but you are missing quite a bit of your back and I would hate to see you all sunburned." Smile. I think it was the smile. I am pretty sure that was what made me say ok. He just seemed so genuine. 

He made me feel comfortable when he helped me by applying the sunblock while narrating the event. "I am going to touch you lightly between your shoulder blades now, don't get scared. It will feel like I am applying sunblock." Before he was done... I was ROTFLMAO. Yes. I said it! So how did this turn out? We are friendly now. He's super cute and I love that he is such a giver. I like nice cute guys.

I told my mom about this neighbor and sent her the picture above. She asked me, "Is it possible for girls and boys to be friends?" I think so. I will keep you posted.

PS: Just a tip to all you rico suaves out there. Act like a gentleman. Don't get pushy.. girls don't like that.
