Or are those one in the same?
About a month ago, I agreed to go to my friend's birthday celebration, a party bus of all things. It turned out to be a big carpool to one club, and drinks were not allowed on the bus, but the music was deafening. I think I had ringing in my ears for about a week after that, but I digress. I met someone that night, and we hit it off in my near-drunken state. During the course of the night, I changed hands from one good friend to another, with the resonating words “It’s all good, we’re family. He’ll take good care of you.” And that was the end of our interaction.
Of the two intriguing fellows, I wanted very little to do with the latter, but the former had a lot of potential. And my gut knew it. There was an anticipatory email each night during the week that followed, and soon enough, we were at Point Reyes for our first hike together. Our meetings didn’t end there…
I agreed to a dinner with him last night, and I’m a little taken aback by how frank he is about me. There’s something very intriguing and refreshing when a guy is very open and frank. From the get go, his questions were very direct, and pointed. Here’s a short list of those questions:
What do you look for in a significant other?
How does someone make you think he’s your soul-mate?
What’s the different between dating and having a relationship?
How many people have you had sex with? Do you just have sex with anyone?
Why were you attracted to me? What attracted you to me? Obviously you’re attracted, if you’re hanging out with me.
So you use to date a lot of people at the same time, so let me ask you this, are you dating anyone else right now?
Things like “I want to know where we’re at, so that when we do meet, we’re not sending apparently different signals.. And really we don’t meet where we thought we were”. It’s funny because he brought up his last relationship with my brother’s good friend, and I’ve been worried about it. And for some odd reason he focused very little on that fact other than he turned away from a church because of the lack of support and love that he needed when they first separated, and then re-focused on me. He asked so many questions that I nearly felt completely un-clothed.
I guess it’s funny because he’s found my weakness, I’m frank to the point where I will tell anyone just about anything about myself, but from experience no one has been bold enough to ask. So to have someone finally ask me questions, which others would only try to assume through other means, is refreshing. I could really fall for someone like this, but I have to admit… I’m not so sure about the one tooth that sticks out on the bottom row of teeth. I’m petty, yes.
