We've been emailing back and forth now for about 2 weeks. I can tell he's a very patient man, wants to get to know me via this insulated medium called email. And via the dating site email as well, so it's a double-blind situation here. I finally upped the anty and asked him to switch to our real email addresses. And eventually, I upped it once more by giving him my number. And so I've slowly begun to chip away at this fortress that he's unwittingly put up.
He has no antics here, no games, no skeletons in his closet. Just a really genuine guy who is willing to meet new people. He's smart as hell and uses words I've never heard of before but isn't pretentious about it. He talks about sex like a textbook reader. And I've called him out on that to which he responded that if we had drinks and talked about sex, that the conversation would loosen up. When I told him I had argyle knee socks, he said he blushed when he said that was hot and that I should wear those around him. He says that my emails make him happy, and in truth, his emails make me happy as well. I end up a laughing a lot at the way he describes things.
So even before I have even met him, I feel like I know him really well. I guess it was more about seeing if we had chemistry in person. And that we did.
Pros
- So, so, so sweet. Not a malicious bone in his body.
- Really, really smart. But oh so humble about it. Makes me respect him.
- He has excellent grammar, spelling and diction. I love learning new words from people.
- He has a sexy voice. Can be a phone sex operator if he wants.
- He finds his work fascinating, so he's very motivated with his job. I find his work fascinating, even if I can't understand everything fully.
- He's an excellent teacher.
- He's sarcastic and makes me laugh.
- A very well balanced individual.
- He has direction for his future, career-wise and life-wise. He knows what he wants.
Cons
- I'm shallow, I'm not a nut about how he dresses.
- I'm shallow, I'm not completely physically attracted to him, but I still think he's cute.
- He goes to work pretty much everyday, including Saturdays and Sundays. Which means he also works long, long hours.
- He might not be in LA if he goes to grad school in San Francisco or San Diego.
We spend the entire afternoon and evening together. He would find ways to touch my hands or my arm in very subtle ways. He didn't want to let me go home, as he said. But I was having a good time too.
We walked over to UCLA to see his lab. He showed me his cells (they are his babies) and the things he was working on. He had a schoolboy eagerness in wanting to share his world with me.
Since his car was in the shop (someone rear-ended his brand new RSX) I offered to take him home, since a late night bus ride didn't sound very nice for him. I pulled up in front of his apartment and I knew it was gonna happen. I was gonna go for a hug but he decided to kiss me instead. I didn't actually want it to happen, but I just went with it. And he lingered and did the nose-rub thing and lingered and kissed some more. The kiss was nice, but man, now it's getting complicated.
I'm sure we'll have a second date. But I need to let him know that I'm dating other people. I forgot I needed to tell people that. :( Damnit, I forgot....
