delayed reaction(s)
i know, it's been a little while...
the title above does not refer to the "kissing bandit" referenced in my last post. that guy never called. now that was a new one -- fun date, full-on couch smooch with lots of compliments directed at me, and no follow up. dating never ceases to amaze me!
no, these delayed reactions are as follows...the guy i freaked out about e-mailing re: the eagles game called me about two weeks after our first date. i generally think that after the "three day rule" (does that really still exist?) if i haven't heard from the person, i probably never will. so i was surprised to see a message from him on my phone. it took me about five days to call him back -- i was traveling. i left a message, he called back but i was at dinner, i called the next day, he hasn't called back. turns out a friend's husband knows the guy and cautioned me a little bit that he might be a bit of a player...which seems strange as my concern after our date (other than the fact that the car radio was tuned to san diego's 95.7) was that he seemed to lack passion or spark, which isn't something i'd associate with someone who may have playa tendencies. weird.
the other delayed reaction is from a friend of my friend who works at a nearby unique grocery store which i frequent. i hadn't seen him in a while, so big hug when he greeted me, nice banter, he checked me out (of the line, silly) and asked me about my plans for the weekend. i told him i didn't have too much going on, he suggested we grab a bite to eat or something when he was finished with work..."you have my number, right?" i used to have it, but i have a fancy new phone and it didn't make it in there, so he gave it to me again. i called in the afternoon to say i would be interested in dinner and gave him my digits...so it is a delayed reaction in the sense that we've been flirting off and on for about two years, and also delayed in that he was supposed to get off work an hour ago and i said on my message i was up for an early bite as some friends are having a late-announced housewarming later tonight that i'd like to go to...so we shall see.
in other news, i received a note from a texas gentleman today in my yahoo account. (why do the out-of-state guys seem to dig me more than the CA guys?) in his profile, i found the following sentences, i kid you not: "I'm somewhat famous and hence cannot post an exact picture of me on this website. The gentleman you see above and I do bear a striking resemblance. Rest assured that I've been extremely successful in a multitude of endeavors and now am ready to meet that special woman to take care of, nurture and spend the rest of my life with." I don't know, that struck me as funny, I mean, if you are so famous what are you doing on yahoo personals? again, weird.
that's it for me. more soon, i promise! ~md
