a snatched moment of typing - The Musician

So I went out for another dinner with a new guy last night... except this time it was slightly different....

I had not exchanged much information with the gent before agreeing to meet for a drink (drink which became dinner) We had not even officially exchanged first names - Scandalous!! (I found his out with some light weight Internet searching - I am becoming a google-whizz!)

And the dinner event was precluded by some unsettling news. ThatIDon'tWantToTalkAboutHere. Unsettling news that make me want to turtle and hide and think deeply about my feelings and stuff.

So given the effect of the news, I was tense and tired and I decided to throw away the cocky-flirtatious-charming tactics and decided to simply be amenable to an nice evening.

An evening starting with the designated meet-up restaurant being closed on a Monday night! It's nice to keep things unexpected and interesting.

We didn't hit it off like a house on fire but we talked about interesting things, had a laugh or two.

I was secretly pleased he seemed as tongue-tied as me.

Nice-on-the-eyes is always a bonus too.

He is very musically capable (see earlier post about being serenaded with RHCP)

So... I am just going to say this straight out loud. ...in a very uncomplicated way, I would REALLY REALLY REALLY like to see this guy again.

There I said it!

I am petrified that my fidgeting and the occasional bouts of thoughtful silence may have been construed as boredom.

I am afraid that I did not make as good impression.

I am worried he thinks I am too young and immature.

But that may be all self-esteem speaking so the rational-Frank plans to be practical and proactive instead. (When I am finished being a turtle of course)


How do men feel about being actively pursued by a woman?
