A boy I met online (on CL, not match, and yes I’m pretty sure he’s literate and not a perv) invited me for tea this evening. So quaint. He really didn’t tell me in enough time to go and I know I have to start training dates better than I have been lately to anticipate that I might have plans, lest I keep attracting those who function solely in planless space. So I told him no but I offered him the option of going to an art museum tomorrow or having tea next week when I am free again. He chose the museum.
This is good two ways. First, he is not trying to play games and be stand-offish timewise just to keep distance between us and be "cool" about the dating process. Second, he likes museums! What a lovely boy. And he sent me a sweet anticipating email to confirm.
What do I know of him? Actually fairly little. I googled him and he is an engineer type but I can’t tell doing what. Nonetheless, he is employed and highly literate/intelligent according to the email complexity I have been dealing with. He is very excited and he doesn't even know how pretty or fun I am yet. He only really knows the ringer I put people through on my match profile, since I referred him to it to introduce myself. He was intrigued and more importantly comfortable with everything on it. And it's a pretty commitment-heavy profile not for the faint of heart.
His claim to fame is dually that he can happily put a tent together drunk in the rain, which I feel sure is a skill I will need access to at some point, and that he listens to bluegrass at a local pub on Wednesday nights. He also happens to appear totally in my league of cuteness, which would be a super bonus if he were nice. Maybe he'll be awesome and not an asshole. That would be rad.
