Fleeting glances...

do tell a lot about a person's thoughts, interests, possibilities.

AL came and watched me play my late soccer game last night. She was in town meeting up with some friends of hers for their weekly "knitting circle". It's funny, not like she's 60 or something, but she and some of her friends have picked up that hobby. Definitely not a bad hobby like... I don't know... gambling. So good for her.

My game was at 9:40pm, which means it wouldn't be over until 10:30 or so. But she is a trooper, and since her group was done around that time she just swung over to watch me play. The soccer game its self was fun, I guess. My leg is starting to improve, which means I can push myself more on the field. The team we were playing had some good male players, which always gets me to step up my game. On top of that, they were being rough, which doubly gets me competitive. I don't like people pushing around me, let alone any of my teammates. I'm the fight type in the fight or flight scenario, so if I feel threatened, I'll rise to it. However unfortunately I'm not that recovered yet, so I did some good but not near the normal play that I have. We ended up losing 6-2. AL got to see my competitive side, which she knows about, but generally she is playing with me and not just watching.

After the game, when I was taking off my gear, AL came over and was talking to me and ironically another girl that's on the team that she knows. The team captain for the team I play on is this girl Christi. She's definitely the type of girl I'd be interested. She's pretty good looking, loves to play soccer, is competitive like I am and is a nurse. My parents are both in the medical industry, and I work at a software company that deals with health and wellbeing, and healthcare.

When we were leaving the facility (AL and I), I glanced back to where Christi was sitting taking off her gear, I glanced back and saw Christi give AL one of those "who's she?" looks and then looked back at her friend while they continued talking. Now, from my experiences, girls only give looks like that when they're at least somewhat interested in the guy that the other girl is with...

Interesting... fleeting glances do tell a lot.
