the_alchemyst Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Not really because I wanted to. My friend took me out to dinner. A few minutes later, a friend of ours shows up with some guy. Then my two friends just take off, leaving me alone with this guy. I kinda had a hunch they were up to some sort of set up because they are far too obvious in the mischievous doings, so I did dress up a little--not a lot, just enough to not look like a bum. His name is Daniel and he is 21, goes to the Berkeley, and is an engineering major. He has a good height, dark hair, light brown eyes, light complexion, and has a rugged, yet clean look to him. He is very handsome. From his speech, he seems very intelligent. He also seems very nice (he picked up the check and drove me to home), funny (plenty of sarcasm, but in a light-hearted way), and interesting (I actually enjoyed discussing his major). He does not drink or smoke and is not religious, which are perfect fits for me. He is looking for someone. He asked me for my phone number. Outside my crippled, run-down studio (I really hate this place!), he gave me a kiss on my hand, and told me he was very happy to have met me, and that he truly wished to get to know me more. He made no dirty moves. Good. Oh, and he also bought me a flower at dinner. How romantic. He was so nice! I really think so. He really does seem like a great guy, and a possessor of many of the qualities I have always looked for in a mate. And what's best is that he seemed genuinely interested in me; he said I was very pretty, and I wasn't even all that dressed up! He was so sweet. I gave him my old phone number.
sickkitty Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Thats so sweet (the flower) are u going to get to no him? Does he even have a way of contacting u if u gave him ur old number lol
Author the_alchemyst Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Does he even have a way of contacting u if u gave him ur old number lol I will be moving again soon. Either back to my house or some other cheap studio. When I do, I don't plan to let anyone know. So, no, he doesn't.
sickkitty Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Thats cool lol at least u had a good time thats the main thing huh ;o)
littlekitty Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 I will be moving again soon. Either back to my house or some other cheap studio. When I do, I don't plan to let anyone know. So, no, he doesn't. If he's so sweet and nice, why are you pushing him (and seemingly everyone else) away from you?
KittenMoon Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Hey A- If it doesn't feel right at the moment... well then it doesn't. Sometimes being a great guy doesn't make up for unfortunate timing.
Asafan Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 Dear, I hope you are not hiding from life because of your medical problem. Give that young man -- and yourself a chance to be happy. To me, he sounds like a perfect gentleman and you sure seemed to like him.
alphamale Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 he sounds like a perfect gentleman . Thats the kiss of death!
Spitkicker Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 it's great news hearing that one of our fellow members has found somebody or at least in the process... if you don't come back to the forums .. to me that's a great sign.. that things worked out for you... this place feels like purgatory..lol but once you get out.. we can look at this place as a great spot to heal and make new friends. good luck to yah
brisman Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 So he was good to you and you liked him and he likes you. If you don't want to see anyone now, that's your business. Giving him an incorrect number just shows no respect for him, though.
blind_otter Posted August 8, 2006 Posted August 8, 2006 I agree with brisman. Giving him an incorrect number was just so unnecessary when you could just as easily say "I'm not interested in seeing anyone right now". Also pushing people away because of your medical condition is a horrible idea. It's sort of a slap in the face to...yourself. Because that's the only person who ends up hurting.
Author the_alchemyst Posted August 8, 2006 Author Posted August 8, 2006 Oh, there's absolutely nothing wrong with nice guys, alpha. At least, not for me. In fact, this was one of the biggest reasons I became attracted to my exbf. I know where he lives, so I know how to get ahold of him. And I don't know about you two, but I don't have respect for people I don't really know. Just because you're a nice fella doesn't mean you have earned my respect. And I didn't do it out of disrespect, either. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to do, but I don't regret it; I really don't see the need to explain myself to him or any other stranger. As far as my health goes, well, I'm not really getting any better, unfortunately. I'm not trying to extricate myself from society, but I'm certainly not looking for form new relationships (of any kind) at the moment. They don't need to know of my burden.
