i can't figure this kid out

DCboy, crazy kid. annoying kid. can't figure him out. he tells me he wants a relationship, wants a girl friend, but makes it obvious he doesn't want me (or at least that's what i'm getting from him) and yet he still freakin' flirts with me like carzy- i feel like i'm in middle school when you ask a boy if he likes you and he says no, and then tries to act all mean but instead just ends up flirting with you over and over again.

Case in point:
-on wednesday night i missed lost, he texted me some stupid comment and i responded that i hadn't had a chance to see it....45 minutes later he calls to give me the update but he "can't talk long 'cause he's gotta go..." or something along those lines. okay, whatever, i appriecated the call and the thought, but the dude NEVER calls.
-last night i get an angel smiley face text message from him. i respond with a "?" wanting to know more and get nothing.
-this afternoon he IM's me "how was last night's game" and we chit chatted and then asked "what are you up to this weekend?" i told him of my plans and then i asked him where he proceeded to tell me how busy he was (partying hard on sat night and dinner party on sunday. and then signed off without as much as a 'goodbye' or 'have a fun weekend'.

it's like he's trying to flirt with me but doesn't go all the way or maybe to him this is flirting. i'm just not sure. WTF?

but in hockey news, M and i had free tickets last night to see the Caps take on the Blues. Two horrible teams, but one awesome game. they were tied after 3 periods, and went into overtime, with no one scorring......SHOOTOUT! they each were given 3 shots and each team came away with one goal a piece......SUDDEN DEATH SHOOTOUT! the Caps scored and won the game. It is the first time in who knows that they've won 3 games in a row. what an awesome game! plus sweet seats, in the corner, section 114 of the MCI center, about 20 rows from the ice--just far enough up so that we could see the action on both ends of the ice. M and i had a blast! :)

****
pub crawl tomorrow with some people that enjoy beer and hockey. i can't wait! i think it'll be a blast! G dawg will be there with his friends (sans pub crawl) so it'll be interesting to see what transpires in the nose bleed seats of the MCI center. one can only hope for good things ;)


anyway, crazy weekend planned, wish me luck for some QT time with my bed :)
