100% Wrong: Part II

For any of you who took the 33.33% of me seeing Caleb again one more time then that'd be it.. then you were right. Why only the one time? Let me explain.

I'm on Grindr just seeing who's new to the area (no one by the way) and Caleb appears online. Being the friendly guy that I am, I decided to say hey. We began talking.. I began sweet talking (I don't really mean too, it just comes naturally I guess.) and next thing you know were making dinner plans for that evening. So its decided. 5:30 at a local burger joint I've been wanting to try. Yeah, I really like burgers. So we get there. I began asking how he's been, what's going on in his life.. you know, the typical catch up questions. He's got nothing. Absolutely nothing. Seriously. We talk about his niece for maybe 5 minutes then back to nothingness. Worse date I've ever been on. It's crazy because the first one went so well. Thank God I can handle these types of situations and did so to the best of my ability. But as soon as I signed the receipt (separate checks, of course.) I had to end it. In a nice way of course. We hugged, he held on a little longer than he should have, and we said our goodbyes. I got in my car and literally laughed out loud. It was just so funny to me how date one and sorta date two was completely different. I pull up to my place and I get this text:

"I'm like in a state of blissful shock from how awesome that burger was. It was great to see you again. Thanks for meeting up tonight! :)"

I wanted to say:

"I wished the date was as great as the burger. Have a good one!"

But I was really nice, almost too nice and said:

"Baha! That's an awesome state to be in. Hey, no problem! Great seeing you too."

Got the absolute closure needed for this guy. It really does take going through the valleys to see the peaks. In this case it takes going on a crappy date to see how awesome Michael is. I need to see him, but we're texting as we speak, so I'm doing fine.

100% Wrong

Hey all, and Happy New Years! I'll see if I can play catch up a bit from my lack of posting. 

If you read the previous post, you'll remember Caleb. If not, I'll give you an abridged version. Cute guy, went on a date. After that, 66.67% of me thought I'd see him again. 33.33% sure we'd see each other another time then that'd be the end. Looks like I'm 100% wrong. Didn't talk, text, whatever. Then, I was bummed. He seemed to be a pretty decent guy with a little quirkiness  I look for. Well, I think he is a pretty decent guy still with that same quirkiness I look for, but I'm fine with not talking to him ever again. But also fine with talking too. I'm not mad at all, it sucks. But it happens. 

I think the reason why I'm so fine with it all is because I've moved on to the next. Happened rather quickly too. We've talked off and on for about 4 months now (I seem to chat off and on with a lot of people. What can I say... I'm a friendly guy) and we met up last Saturday at Starbucks. I usually would brew my own or pick a local spot but I got gift cards for Christmas. Thank you Mom and Dad. Back to the guy. We'll call him Michael. Mike is about 6 foot, about 170, good skin tone, very athletic. He's what we'd call Blatino. Best feature besides his handsome masculine face? Butt. Great muscular ass. He's the first non-white guy I've been attracted to besides celebrities. We have great conversation. Nothing but laughter. We're nothing but smiles the entire time. There were times the conversation turned sexual in which I have to make sure others didn't hear, but a certain part of me didn't care. That's how comfortable I was with him. He's very cultured, spent time out of the United States for school and you can tell a little in his cute accent. Cares a lot about his family, which is the reason he's back in the States. He's not out and doesn't plan to be for a while, same as I. After we parted ways, I just had to sit in my car for a bit and take it all in. Great evening, and even better evening after watching my team win their football game.
