Seafood addict here (well, a GOOD seafood addict, I refuse to eat it where I live), and especially love crab!

I know what you mean.  We're just too darn far from the coast!  Most places around here serve fish that has been frozen.  Yuck!  I got really spoiled when I lived in South Florida.

and thats why you are such a gentleman...

[emeralddancer]

well, did you try a cayman crab that way?

BTW I have cooked the same, the blue ones not the caymans...

um no you do not eat (to my knowledge those crabs.)

I once heard that like in CALI they BOIL crabs. I was like WHA???

[emeralddancer]

in the Caymans the crabs are so horn-y that if a car drives over them their horns pop the tires. they are big and scary looking walking rocks. but it was cool to see something different than a chesapeake bay blue crab ...which are yummy to eat steamed with old bay seasoning.

...And that is EXACTLY why I need to come visit you!

We go crabbing once a year for blue swimmer crabs, and we boil them. They taste quite good.

Ok...I give in. I need some advice. Been thinking about it all day today. 

I don't think I mentioned this girl before, it's a rather long story. We go way back......
I think we initially met off a dating website a couple of years ago, chatted for a couple of month but that's as far as it developed. We never met or anything, so I guess things just cooled off by itself. Then one day, I came across her profile on Facebook by chance because we have a couple of common friends, so I added her as my friend. I think this was sometime this year, and we chatted a bit more and got to know eachother a bit more. I remember vaguely where we initially spoke, but I'm not sure whether she remembers too (I never brought it up cause it might be awkward). And we've been saying that we should catch up for coffee sometime, and we exchanged phone numbers and we text eachother a few times every now and then just to see how we're doing. But so far we haven't met in person.

So last night, my dance studio had a social dance, and I asked this girl whether she would like to join me. I was expecting a "No, thanks" for an answer, simply due to the fact that she has never done ballroom dancing before. But to my surprise, and delight, she said yes! The dance started at 8, but she turned up at 7 cause I told her I'll be having my lesson then. She just sat around and watched me having my lesson, and smiled when ever we had eye contact. (Yea, having her there was a huge distraction). So after my lesson, we talked a bit, I showed her around the studio and introduced her to my dance partner (who is very supportive of me finding a girlfriend) and also my teacher. She stayed for the social dance, didn't have any clue what to do because she's never danced before. But I taught her a few easy dances and she picked them up really quickly. We had such a fun time just doing the basic cha cha, rumba etc. I was smiling the entire time, and so was she.

We got along great, there wasn't any awkwardness. She asked me to salsa next week, and since my DP was there too, she was also invited. She had to leave early, so I walked her to her car and we briefly spoke for a couple of minutes. I gave her a kiss on the cheek, she smiled. When I walk back into the studio, everyone was like "That girl is so into you!". (Especially my dance partner, she was really excited for me.) DP said during the rumba, the girl seemed to be shy all of a sudden but always had a smile on her face. So...what is it that everyone else is seeing that I'm not?

Does this girl seem interested in me? It would be awkward if she was just being friendly and I took it the wrong way. I can't get her out of my mind. She's simply beautiful. Someone who is sent down from heaven, she's like an angel! SIGH......What do I do?
