Low / no expectations.

My parents had always taught me that the key to never being disappointed is to have little to no expectations about anything. I have always tried my best to adhere to this rule but it is becoming increasingly difficult. Things with Kyle and I are heading in a direction although I am not sure which. We do spend time together. We go to lunch, brunch etc. but I don't know if he sees them as a date or just a meal shared between friends. How does one differentiate between just a meal and a date? I have never been very good at the whole dating scene, most probably due to my shocking lack of a functional relationship. Ever. 

With Kyle being away for the next couple days, going for job interviews in George and Knysna maybe it will give me a chance to think. Not that I spend a lot of time with him anyway. I just really wanna know what is going on between us. He has mentioned he wants to come up to Gtown and meet my friends, this gives me the thought that he wants to become a bigger part of my life but I don't know. I really don't know what's going on. I saw him all of 24hours ago and I miss him already.  Oh, and his glacial speed of replying is also getting annoying. Oh well, it's the price you pay for a potential relationship.
