Hot Chocolate and Decaf Herbal Tea

Met a new guy this morning for coffee. I am not sure why I always say that when I don't drink coffee, and this time, neither did my prospective suitor.

If you know me, you know who had the hot chocolate (me!) and who had the tea (him).

Nice enough guy. Not bad looking. In shape physically. Makes a decent living currently. Is going back to school to be a counselor.

There was something about him. He was just a tad creepy, or strange, or something. I can't quite put my finger on it.

And I wanted to like him. Seriously. I wanted to have a good date so that I am ready for whatever the Professor throws my way--which might, for all I know, be a "honey, my date Friday was way better than you!"

Then I took a step back, and made sure it wasn't because I am so smitten, although cautiously so, with the Professor, that this guy was a good one, but just was overshadowed my attraction to the Professor.

I really doubt that is it.

I usually give people a second date, should they ask, and I would most likely go out with this guy again, too. There have been a couple of guys I was initially not interested in who became guys I really liked after another date or two.

But, all the same, let me point a few things out...

This guy doesn't want kids. Okay, the professor may not either, but his is due to the fact, mainly, that he has two--one of each, even. This guy doesn't.
He doesn't like kids. He told me the story of substitute teaching for a day and a half, and just walking out. I had to hear over and over that it just isn't fair that I have a job where I don't work for 3 months out of the year. (I hate it when I hear that. DUDE! Look at my paychecks--I am PAID like I only work 9 months out of the year! Besides, I work anywhere from 50-70 hours during the school year!)

I dunno. There seemed to be more, but maybe not.

There are a couple of other guys out there I am talking to. I guess I need to see where they lead me.
