Mother of GOD! The date. Tattoo man? We’ve been dating since then, and I’m pretty sure I’m falling for this guy. Then the web hottie is also still calling me, and honestly, I’m at a crossroads with that whole deal. The attractive part about tatman is that he is so very very different from myself. He’s very easygoing, works w/his hands and doesn’t have set office hours, he pretty much does what he wants, when he wants. That’s a good thing in the sense that hanging out with him is a bit like hanging out on the benches was in college; that feeling that nothing is pressing on your time or requiring your responses. That, however, is not my reality, and that’s where web hottie kicks in b/c we are so much more alike in many different ways. It’s not just a comfort, it’s also more pragmatic to think that if I were considering a long term partner, I would want to seek out affection from the web hottie. Problem: web hottie lives in Houston which is roughly 2.5 hrs away while tatman is a 35 minute drive from my homestead. Soooo…..I just figure that as long as I’m happy and learning new things, I should just live my life in a manner that is safe and productive. All notions of putting all my cards face up on the table need to be squashed. I’m not in a relationship w/web hottie nor could I see myself doing so unless he were to move to Austin, which is supposedly a goal of his, but right now I’m just enjoying my life.
Fast fwd to December 24th: I am single again. My grandma always told me never to trust a man who brings you flowers on the first date, b/c they have big issues to hide. Why oh WHY didn't I take heed to that shit? Oh well. Bruised, battered, and one shot of penicillin later, I'm as good as gold. Sighhh.... Lessons in life are so much more palatable when you can read about them happening to others.
