Snow Project

Fizzle: When two people are mutually interested in one another and go on a series of dates, only to have these feelings fade away and come to nothing. 

My life is full of fizzles. Sometimes these fizzles last for one date, sometimes 5. This specific fizzle lasted a good 5 dates. His name was Cap'n.

It all took place about a year ago. Cap'n was in my ward, asked me on a date, and I actually liked him! life was great. However, after week three or four I kinda changed my mind. I might've just been scared, or just stopped liking him... I'm not sure. All I know is that I kinda stopped reciprocating and it died off. 

Fast forward one year: Cap'n is still one of my really good friends and I see him all the time! The other day, he sent me an email. 

(Oh, and I didn't mention this, but he used to always tell me that he was going to make it his goal to get me to LOVE snow.)

Here is the email. I'm literally copying and pasting.. these are his words. 

Remember that one time long ago when I told you that I could get you to like snow? I was cleaning out my computer and I uncovered my list of ideas from brainstorming about the problem. Would you like to see it? :)

Enjoy.
