Well then!

So.. boy was I wrong.

Mr. Man finally texted me a few days ago.. and apologized for the complete lack of communication.. score 1 for him. And for once.. he had an extremely valid reason.  His original text was that he had been feeling anti-social.. which at first I took as " I really don’t care one way or another". I was sorely mistaken. 

I told him I would be in town on Sunday night and asked if he wanted to hang out..  he was all for it.  Minor texting ( gods I’m so cliche sometimes)..back and forth for the next few days.

Sunday rolls around and my best friend K and I head into the Quarter to meet up with a mutual friend of ours.. and then later to meet up with Mr. Man.

The drinks with mutual friend lasted HOURS longer than expected, and I hate to say it.. but I was getting antsy. I wanted my date dammit! Heh. But it was wonderful to see said mutual friend, and Mr. Man texted me to let me know where he was and that it was cool that we were spending massively longer than expected.

1AM rolls around and Mr. Man actually calls and asks if I just want him to meet me where we are..   enthusiastic yes on my end. 

This goes back and forth as he gets delayed at the bar where he’s at ( he also works there),,.. and we spend more time with mutual friend.

FINALLY we meet with with him.. after parking on Decatur, then walking.. then going back to the car and moving it to the exact original spot where K and I had parked a few hours before. Circles are fun! 

Lots of time spend talking, drinking, playing with begniets and powdered sugar.. more drinking.. and then.. because I have to fly in to phoenix in 2 hours.. and very kissy goodbye. 

I’m kidnapping him this Friday.. and he’s spending the weekend with me at faire.  Much fun WILL be had.

So his reasons for being anti-social…    His father passed away not long ago.. and he’s still dealing with it. He’s been good about getting out and all that..  but I can completely understand the whole "not wanting to socialize " aspect.

Interesting tidbits about him..   He’s an artist. He loves cats. He loves muppets ( extra bonus points!), he’s very much a sensual person, but is NOT a man-whore. He  prefers to give rather than receive. He does not have a driver’s license but does know how to drive. He expresses his love for his friends.

He also gave me his LJ name so I kinda did some reading up.  Not sure if that’s good or bad. I liked what I read.

I have not found anyone anywhere who can say any wrong about him. He’s well known throughout the Quarter.  Everyone seems to adore him. 

I think he’s beautiful.  A little bigger than my usual tastes.. but I sure as hell am not going to nitpick.  He has beautiful eyes, long gorgeous hair. He’s intelligent. He’s handsome.

I try not to wear my rose glasses, but it’s hard when all the world seems pink.  

I have no expectations from this.

In other news.. C called me "roommate" again. I guess that gives me free reign baby. 

We shall see. We shall see.
