So true! It's like you need a fun "date break" where the relationship is lighthearted. Bryce and I got pretty deep sometimes, but it has since been proved that's just something we can do. For the most part, though, it was just silly fun. I wrote this in my "secret" journal (aka sex journal/hide things from snoopy Dan journal), like the day after I met him, "I love new things. Oh so much. But as I've told the girls, I don't expect us to start like dating or anything - in an exclusive and/or serious kind of way, because he's probably really melodramatic in real life and just too much for me to handle. But! I'm judging before I know, and I'm determined to just have fun. He also invited me to do fun things with him and his friends this weekend :)"

I was right, by the way. About being a melodramatic girl. Hoooooly crap.

I wish I could take credit for DUA, but Bethany invented it a couple years ago. Our whole family uses it baahahaha.
