My Mother Would NOT Approve.....

Yes! Irene has passed and the city is back to its original chaotic state. I swear, the east coast is a natural disaster party palace right now. How are you ladies? Anything interesting happening in your neighborhoods?
 
Well, as you guys know, I went out on a date recently. I’ve come to tell you the tale. His name is Stephen Hanley (I call him Hanley or cutie) and we met on a NYC website called OK Cupid. He called me the Saturday morning before last and we talked all day. He asked me to meet him for a drink that night. I almost said no but, I figured “why not… give this dating thing a try”. I met him in Union Square at 11pm. I was mega nervous. Ya know, hoping that he wouldn’t be disappointed with the reality. Haley decided to go see a movie at the theater around the corner from our date, just in case I wanted to bail or he was being an asshole. Hehe, I have amazing friends J.  He’s cute. I don’t really know how to describe him so, here’s a picture. 

We went to a bar nearby and he was a perfect gentlemen. We talked for a while and he even reached across the table and held my hands for a while. I told him not to get fresh because I had a friend around the corner that would be here in a heartbeat if I called her. He thought it was sweet that I had great friends. Val texted me several times because she was worried. I told him about the text and he agreed to let me take a picture of him to send to Val… ya know, for the police if needed. He even made a what he called “The Super Creepy Rape Face”. We talked more and he told me to call my buddy and have her come out for a drink. Probably because I talked about 502 a lot. Sweet guy. Haley came over and said hello. We walked out with her and then said goodnight to the Powell. I gave her the “I’m Ok” sign as opposed to the usual 502 X.

Stephen and I walked around to find another bar. I stopped at the movie theater to look at a poster for a movie I wanted to see. While I was explaining the plot, he shut me up with a kiss. Its been a while since I was kissed… especially a long kiss. After he was done he apologized for interrupting me. I was a bit embarrassed because people were walking all around us. From that moment on, every time he saw a dark corner, I found myself pressed into the wall and kissed. We made out all over the Village. He held my hand and when we went in a bar, he would put his arm around me. I haven’t felt that “couplely feeling” in a long time. Finally at 4am, we decided to end the date. He refused to let me take the train home. Seriously, he said “either you’re going home in a cab or you’re coming home with me in a cab”. He paid for the cab to talk me home.

So, I know what you are thinking but, you shouldn’t get to giddy. Stephen is a nice guy but, he has made it perfectly clear to me that he doesn’t want a relationship, just the physical privileges. So, I had a decision to make. I decided, why not have a casual friend. I’ve never really done that before. I know I don’t have feelings for him. He just isn’t a guy that I can see myself being with. But, I can see myself making out with him. I don’t need a relationship right now. Upon his invitation, I went to stay with Hanley last Friday night. He promised we didn’t have to do anything, he just wanted to spend time alone with me. He knows I am not ready to have sex with him and he’s ok with that, for now. I will have to cross that bridge when I come to it. So, I went over to his place, with my “slut bag” in tow… we ate dinner, fooled around (a lot), watched the Mets game and went to bed.

Well, that’s the whole story. I don’t know what gonna happen but, I feel kinda, I don’t know... grown up. I’m the one calling the shots in this thing and he’s ok with that. I don’t have to worry about the emotional stuff right now and that’s good. I have enough going on right now.

Talk to you ladies soon!

Love, Love and more Love ,
