A Two Cosmo Night

It is like he has a Sixth Sense. Professor knew I had a date with a guy who wants a relationship and wants more kids. He KNEW, I say!

I was brushing my teeth, getting ready for a date I was lukewarm on, and The Professor calls me. I missed the call, but when leaving for my date I wanted to call a friend on the drive, and there it was--One missed call--The Professor.

Basically he wanted me to know he is still around, that he thinks of me and hopes I remember him, but after his weekend with the kids and all, he needed some "Professor" time. He sounded sweet, and maybe even a little wounded that we haven't talked--which is on him, not me!

So, there I was, on my way to meet Me. Mediocre and knowing that the man I lust after called. Mr. Mediocre, whom we shall call Guy Smiley, or Smiley for short, was at the bar and eagerly waiting for me when I arrived. He was nice and better looking in person, although not a hottie--which if you know me, you know that is fine by me.

He is a very nice person, and an easy-going optimist. It is a nice change of pace for me. We talked easily, although, to be honest, I prefer a little bit more intellectual type.

He joined the personals where we met because of my profile. He said he was lukewarm on them all, saw me, sent and e-mail and got the "not available" generic message that I had programmed to pop up for a long time. He was disheartened that he spent the $20 and got that response. But I really was available and did respond within a couple of days. Then I met The Professor and was talking to so many people I took the profile down again for a spell.

While sitting out on the patio, 80's music was being piped in. My fav! Things were going well, when all of a sudden, the song "Cruel to Be Kind" started playing. Some of you may or may not remember Professor and I singing that to each other one glorious evening after a night of bonding on several different levels. (It is by Nick Lowe, by the way, and not Nik Kershaw, who, I believe sang another great 80's anthem, "Wouldn't It Be Good".)

Anyway, he told a ton of people at work that he had a date and showed them all my profile (oh joy, oh rapture). He was excited to meet me and asked a few times if we could see each other again. He said he would call me tonight when I got off of work.

But then, Shark Skin Hands said the same sort of stuff.

But this guy could be sincere.

As tempted as I was, I didn't call Professor back last night. I am waiting to call him tonight. I may call on my way to the second job, or I might wait until I am leaving the second job, although that is when Smiley is supposed to call me.

Decisions, decisions!

Oh, and while Professor was online Sunday on the personals page, and posted one of the cheesiest pics online, he hasn't been online since then. Hmmmmm...
