So disregard that last post because I am not mad anymore.
I have fear of commitment issues rearing their ugly heads, but I'm not angry.
The boy, Pat as he calls himself, but soon to be Patrick if I have my way, met me out on Friday. And he doesn't mind telling me that he likes me. It's sweet and refreshing, and truly the most frightening thing I've encountered in a long time.
This is a just a sample of things he's said to me: "I want to take you out on a proper date, and I'm going to start planning something special. I'll pick you up, we'll get dressed up and go somewhere nice. And then after that, I'll take you on a second date."
I mean, whoa, hold the presses! I just met you, boy!
But on the other hand, I can find no faults so far (save for one, more on that in a bit): he's intelligent, funny, tall--6'4, built, cute, respectful, kind, shy, etc. I can go on. Oh he can't dress, but that's easy to remedy.
He asked me if he could walk me home, I mean, come on. He's totally courting me and it's not such a bad thing. Except for my instinct to run like hell.
He's the kind of guy that would make a great boyfriend...move those legs woman and get the hell out of there.
Here's the bad part. It's all going so well, we have had intelligent conversations on Iraq, the history of the Kurdish people, AIDS in Africa, women's rights in third world countries. I'm enjoying this guy and his friends are nice too. He walks me home. And kisses me.
AND IT IS THE WORST KISS EVER IN HUMAN HISTORY!!!!!!!!!
Could this be because he just got home from the middle east and he hasn't kissed a girl in 8 months? Possibly. Let's hope. Could it be that he was drunk? Lord, let it be that. Can I train him to be a better kisser? Talk to me girls. Please, insights welcome.
Otherwise, I'm outta there. And this time I think he won't be the only one disappointed...
