Moneypenny

Thanks, you guys! (erm, gals!) I think you’re right. My jerkbrain sometimes just kicks in and makes me doubt myself. For instance, he said, “talk to you later,” when I left. Which, most likely means, “talk to you later.” But then my jerkbrain goes and thinks he means, “talk to you later (but really I’m being vague so I can avoid having to talk to you and am slowly backing away because you’re a weirdo).” Because that’s happened, in my past experience. So it’s hard to put that aside and just go with the flow. But I’m trying.

LadyE: I don’t really have much to add (others have said so many wise things already!) but I just want to say that you seem like a really sweet person. And I am totally rooting for you- I just want you to get what you want!

So true! I mentally picture us all high fiving each other.

Hey you guys! My date was great!!! This guy is kind of awesome. We met at this hipster Mexican place, had 2 drinks, then got a couple of tacos. We left after a couple of hours, and then he asked what I wanted to do, and I suggested taking a walk. Which led us back to his place where he showed me his car (he restored an early 80’s Porsche which I thought was really cool), and then his apartment… and eventually one thing led to another, and let’s just say my dry spell is over. Ha. We both agreed that we’re very compatible sexually, which is awesome. And eventually I had to go, and he walked me back to my car. I get the feeling personality/humor wise, we’re pretty compatible, as it was easy to talk to him and he was really engaging in our conversation. Plus, he thinks I’m cute. And hot. So.
Now, he’s been super swamped this week since there is a huge huge convention in town and a few clients are around and demanding a lot of his time. (Also the reason he was delayed in getting back to me yesterday.) So, he was like, I’m going to be swamped the rest of the week until they leave (understandable), but maybe we could hang out after that. And he said he’d get in touch with me (I don’t remember exactly what he said but something like that). But I guess I’ll believe it when I see it- I’ve heard some variation on this numerous times! So that’s the thing- who knows if it’ll actually happen. But I’m focusing on the fact that it was a fun time, and not having too high of expectations.

Thanks Veritek! My non-update is that I still don’t know where I’m meeting him. We texted a little over the weekend, and then last night, after not hearing from him, texted him asking if he was still up for getting together. (Which I normally wouldn’t do- he did the asking, he can get back to me, right?) He replied, absolutely, and asked if I wanted to meet in the city. I replied that it sounded great, I’m open to anything. And then nothing. So, a bit ago I sent him a text with some suggestions of places I like, and that basically I’m open. My planner-brain is annoyed because I need to know this stuff! And then my jerk-brain starts to feel uneasy. Whatever.
Sorry, this was longer than it needed to be!

Happy birthday to Veritek and Lianne!
I also would suggest meeting in the middle- going 4 weeks without seeing him is going to make it incredibly hard to get any momentum going in the relationship. Also, I wonder if his band stuff takes absolutely all weekend? Because if not, you could spend the weekend with him, but while he’s off doing band stuff you could go off exploring his area on your own till he’s finished.
Also! I have a date tomorrow! (Wut!) And I’m excited! And he’s excited too!
