BF... What?!?

So yesterday I went to lunch with the cool boss and we sat around and talked. He started asking me about Jeff. He met Jeff on Saturday at this kick ass tailgate that he threw where we had to drink 40oz. Anyway, he asked me if it was serious and I said well no, not right now and kinda pussy footed around the question. I'm a very noncommittal person. So, he was like, "Man, my friends were asking who you were and who that guy was....Steph, you tend to sell yourself short! You don't need to settle for anyone!" It kinda sounded like he was telling me I could do better than Jeff. I probably should have been offended but I was really flattered that my boss and his friends think I'm pretty cute. He did tell me that I need to increase my self esteem....I didn't think I had that low of one! Then later...or maybe earlier that day...can't remember I was talking to F online and she said her Italian guy friends saw a pic of me online and wanted to talk to me. Jeez, Jeff came into my life at the wrong point....I could be playing around with some hot Italian or a big shot ex UT Football player.

Ok, now in reference to my subject title. Jeff and I are hanging out. I made him dinner and we were supposed to meet his friends at Hooters later but we ended up canceling b/c it was to far, etc. We were sitting on the couch watching CSI. Earlier I had told him about the incident with my boss and had playfully asked him when we acted upset..."What?!? You don't like other guys thinking your girlfriend is attractive?" We haven't talked about our status yet but he's referred to me as his girlfriend a couple of times but I have yet to call him my boyfriend. Anyway, we were sitting on the couch and he goes:

Jeff: Can I ask you a stupid question?
Me: Huh?!? Uh, yeah sure.
Jeff: Will you be my girlfriend?

For a split second I thought he was joking and almost laughed and told him to shut up but instead yes came out of my mouth. It was so middle school. It made me laugh....not at him but b/c it was cute/sweet situ.

So, in conclusion, I guess I am a taken woman. I am in a *gasp* relationship...we shall see how long this lasts for the commitment-phobic Steph!
