The day after my rejection last week, I picked up where I left off and emailed a guy who was looking for a relationship. We chatted and exchanged pics and he is quite a cutie. I’m going to call him Sox Guy, because of his infatuation with the Boston Red Sox.
Today, he really wanted me to call him so I did. We talked for an hour and the time flew by. He seems like a nice guy and we are going to meet next weekend when I get back from a business trip later this week.
He is pretty forward about wanting to kiss me and wanting more but I’ve made it clear I’m not looking for a hook up and he says he is not either. If the date goes well, kissing is cool but he isn’t getting anything else on the first date. I’ve waited thirty years to get it on with a guy and I’m not giving it up easily 🙂
On a related note, Boston Guy and I are still where we have been lately. He is consumed with school, which is very much okay, but I remain too low on his priority list compared to where he is on mine. I am not giving up but have resolved to just see what happens. If it is meant to be, it will be. In the meantime, getting out and meeting other guys is good for me.
Good luck with this guy, wherever it may lead.
Good for you, Eliot. That’s great that you’re keeping one eye open, especially since you’re not committed and exclusive yet. You have to insulate yourself just in case…
Good luck with both! Hopefully one of them will pull through for you. I’ll be reading to see it unfold. 😉
don’t you love it when time flies by on the phone with a new guy. i never talk on the phone anymore. so an indication that there’s gonna be a second date is if they can keep my attention on the phone for longer than 10 minutes.
way 2 go friend!
I’m glad you’re keeping a positive outlook on this and it’s nice to see a man with standards. Letting the relationship “run its course” will make the time together more meaningful. Rather than it turning into what you described as time for a “hook-up.” Now if I can just follow your lead on “moving on.”
Oh, how exciting. Enjoy the journey. Le tus know if sox guy makes you “weak in the knees.”
“[H]e isn’t getting anything else on the first date. I’ve waited thirty years to get it on with a guy and I’m not giving it up easily.”
I love that. I admire your attitude about the whole situation.
When it happens, you’ll have Sox.
