I'm suprised I remembered my bloody passwrod it's been so long....

So Rini, I told you I'd keep you updated on any boy situations so I hope this satisfies your need.

I've been going to the Dinosaurio Mall 4 or 5 blocks from my house everyday. They have an ice skating rink so I can exercise and I'm actually improving a lot. To my recolection I haven't been this good in a long time. I feel heaps better about myself too, since I'm finally getting out and exercising.

I've become friends with the two people who are always running the rink. The girl I met first when I went with Felipe the first time. Her name is María and is a super sweet girl. She's always got a smile on her face. She's young so obviously were going to get along better than me and some 40 year old.

The other guy is named Darío, and he's a super nice guy too. He's young too, like 21. He watches me skate, and doesn't laugh at me when/if I fall.

So yesterday I finished skating after an hour or so and I was red faced and sweaty from trying to go so fast. I sat down to talk to him and we really got a good discussion going. We talked for an hour or so and I finally get the guts to ask him if he's got a girlfriend. Nope, he doesn't.

"Do you? At home? Here?" He asked.

"Nah. I had something before I left but that broke off pretty quick, but no guys here. I haven't been out on a date here yet." I said.

"I find that hard to believe. You're very pretty." He said.

"Thanks but..."

"I mean it. Do you go out much with your friends then?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm one of the more mellow exchange students because I'm not hitting the streets every free night I have, but I love going out on the weekends. Have you been the 'La Barra'?" (La Barra is one of the more famous discos in the city. Notorious for it's 3 floors and expensive drinks.)

"Once or twice. I just moved back here about a year ago, and before I moved I wasn't old enough to get in."

"I love La Barra. It's super cool." I said, picking at my nail polish.

"Wanna go with me sometime? Like, if you want."

I looked at his face with a big smile. "Yeah, definately."

I had to get going soon, but we kept talking. He doesn't smoke, and he likes kids. When I said goodbye and turned to leave, he shouted after me "We'll make arrangements to go out when I see you tomorrow."

There's my little bit of history. So he starts working at 6 tonight and I'm hoping to get there a little before that so I could say hi to María. God did she give me shit the other night. "Oooooh! How long did you talk to Darío for? Ahhh! Look! You're blushing!"

Bah María, I love you lots, but you humiliate me sometimes.
