We met at a really odd moment. He had driven down for the weekend to help my friend move, which hit me at a very emotional time. He and my friend's boyfriend arrived while we were having a farewell dinner for her with a couple of friends. And one of those friends is another guy I could like. I don't know him well enough but what I've seen so far is very appealing.
So my friend and I left the dinner group, and that's when I met him. I had a little too much to drink and was in the middle of flirty texts with the guy I had just met. They ended up advising me on what to say next. And I took their advice - well most of it at least. How weird is that?
My head just wasn't in the right place to meet another guy - the second in one night. But we talked. And he actually listened - something I'm not used to. Then he walked me home and made plans to see each other the next day. We kissed and it was nice.
We spent the next afternoon and evening together. The attraction was subtle - looks, smiles, brief conversation across the table over dinner and drinks. When we moved to a different place, we sat next to each other. We talked about music and being single and our divorces and his daughter and work. He was affectionate in a tasteful way. He kissed me on the cheek a few times and caressed my back with the firm touch I like. He's so nice. If we got interrupted, he actually asked me to finish what I was saying. I know, how else are people supposed to be? Well lots only care about themselves.
That night he walked me home again. We lingered on the street in the shadows for a long time just kissing and talking and kissing some more. It was harder to send him to my friend's place than inviting him up to my comfy bed - especially considering he would have to sleep on the floor since the furniture was already loaded.
The next morning we had a sweet farewell and have texted ever since. He's ready for me to visit as soon as I can. I don't know what to do with the nice ones. Am I reading the signals right? My ex was a narcissist. He did and said the right things at first then he turned. This one is about a month out of a kinda long-term relationship. Is he just missing regular sex? Am I? Is he a serial monogamist waiting for the next girlfriend? Am I just taken by the sparkly eyes and smile and the attention he gives me?
Do you remember that feeling when you meet someone? It's like being on one of those rides at the fair that tosses you around. It feels good but you don't walk straight when you get off. Your legs feel all noodly. Well that's were I am.
Am I ready for this?
Love to the single girls,
Addison
