i just didn't think about Valentine's day that much this year. i guess, if you're not in a relationship, Valentine's Day is kinda like Hanukkah if you're a Christian. or at least, it should be. I don't understand why single folks tend to get all upset about VD.. i don't even know when Hanukkah is, b/c i don't celebrate it. it comes, it goes, it passes, it doesn't effect me. so, if i'm single, i don't celebrate valentine's day. it comes, it goes, it passes. doesn't effect me.
but i digress... back to the date. we've had drinks/appetizers at the Flying Saucer and are at Mercy for the sold-out Dr.Dog show. it's full and becoming more packed by the minute. during the second opening band, i had to come out of my heels. those suckers were way more uncomfortable than i remember them being... anyway, i noticed later that Date (we'll call him "hotshot") moved toward me in kind-of an odd way every time someone squeezed past us. then i realized - he was manuevering his foot in front of my bare toes so that no one would step on my feet!
afterward, we got some food with my very dear and lovely friend Sarah and her new guy. everyone was charming and funny and we had a great time..
when we get back to my place, hotshot says "i had a good time, we should do it again." so, i'm left to decipher the boy-speak. does this actually mean "i had a good time, we should do it again" or is this just polite? is this boy-code for "yeeeaahhhh... you probably won't be hearing from me again anytime soon"?
except. sunday afternoon, i got the following text message: "I had a great time w/ u last night, sorry it was so late. I hope you got some sleep. Is it too soon to ask you out again?"
Boy-speak: DECODED!
I can't wait to hear about your next meeting with "hotshot". And the details behind the chosen nickname....
ReplyDeleteHe told the truth. You were the one that got the message all complicated.
ReplyDeleteyeah, well... that's what girls do.
