I got asked on (what felt like) a date the other day? So I guess that's a life update? He's native to India and is super nice. After work he asked if I wanted to grab tea, and then we got dinner and rode around on his bike (motorcycles are one of the most common modes of transportation here) and got ice cream and just talked a bunch. It was really nice to make better friends with someone and feel pretty comfortable enough with them to have a lengthy conversation (and also seeing the city at night from a motorcycle is so so amazing!!!!) .....and maybe I'm just a noob, but it didn't even really hit me that he was looking for more than friendship until he called me cute. The evening was really great, and I definitely met someone I can throw all of my dumb culture questions at, but I made it clear that I just wanted to be friends. I didn't come to India to find a relationship with a person, but to find a relationship with the country.
***Update from the next week: He's definitely someone I'm really comfortable around and we're luckily just good friends :)
