Background: He's been my brother's best friend since he started high school (when I was 12). He's flirted with me since then. Yeah a little perv most of the time and annoying. Either way. We've had a love hate relationship since the beginning.
Long story short, he went away into the navy. He's rarely around. But a few weeks ago he visited, and I texted him saying "come over some time before you leave and I'll make you caesar salad ;)" because when we were all in high school I used to make salad and he'd eat right out of the big bowl because he liked it so much.
So from a little hearsay here and there I heard that he took that small message and favor a little more seriously than I'd meant it, but nothing came out of it so life moved on.
My brother today told me that he got a message from this guy yesterday that went something to the effect of:
"I'm gonna be visiting around thanksgiving for about five days. I want to take your sister out on a date to thank her for the dinner she made me last time I was there, if I have your permission."
!!!
He ASKED my brother if he could take me out on a date!
For the record, a guy has NEVER asked me on an official date. I went out with a guy for a year and we only went out to dinner once and it was for my birthday and not quite even a date. So this is pretty exciting for me. And just that he asked my brother for permission.

Ok. Squeal over. GREAT! Well at least I have 2 months to get skinny! I'd love to be between 95 and 90 then. That'd be killer. <3>
